Donald Trump wasted no time returning to his signature Truth Social posting spree after leaving China on Friday.

The US president, whose four-word confession about his son was caught by a lipreader, had been notably absent from his typical social media blitz during his three-day state visit. He refrained from using his personal phone in Beijing due to cybersecurity concerns. Throughout the trip, the US delegation’s devices remained secured aboard Air Force One in specialized pouches that block GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and RFID signals.

The moment the presidential aircraft departed, Trump resumed his familiar social media patterns, promoting himself, once again defending his controversial White House ballroom construction, and unveiling plans for another Washington D.C. venture. It comes after ‘disgusting’ Trump was slammed for a ‘creepy’ comment about Chinese kids as they lined up to greet him.

With his flight airborne from Beijing, Trump swiftly returned to Truth Social, which remains inaccessible in China, announcing fresh construction plans for the nation’s capital, reports the Irish Star.

“I am proud to announce the site of the NATIONAL GARDEN OF AMERICAN HEROES. This magnificent exhibition of statues will be located in West Potomac Park, which we are transforming into one of the World’s most beautiful public spaces,” Trump wrote. He added: “Right now, it is a totally BARREN field of Prime Waterfront Real Estate along our Mighty Potomac River. When finished, West Potomac Park will be a World Class Masterpiece with elegant Landscaping, and adorned with Beautiful Statues, and be yet another one of my great projects to make Washington, D.C., the Safest and Most Beautiful Capital in the World.”Trump stated that the garden would display “the MOST BEAUTIFUL collection of statues of AMERICAN HEROES” such as “Founding Fathers, Military Warriors, Religious Leaders, Civil Rights Champions, World Class Athletes, Artists, Entertainers, and MORE.”

Trump wasted no time posting again on his Truth Social platform, this time to praise Rachel Campos-Duffy, co-host of Fox and Friends Weekend and the wife of US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, on her latest book release.

“Congratulations to Rachel Campos-Duffy on her new book, “All American Patriotism: Celebrating 250 Years of America’s Greatness!” By sharing personal stories of Patriotism, along with those of her FOX colleagues, Rachel reveals the true Spirit of the U.S.A., how to end this crazy and wrong hatred for America, and renew pride in our GREAT Country, our shared history, and people,” Trump wrote. He proceeded to highlight how Campos-Duffy had dedicated her book to him. “Rachel dedicated her book to me, saying: ‘To President Donald J. Trump, the man who shows us every day how to love; serve; and fight, fight, fight for America!’ Thank you Rachel. This book is FANTASTIC – Preorder today!” Trump added.

In his ongoing Truth Social posting spree following his China trip, Trump celebrated a new golden statue erected in his likeness in Florida. “This is a statue, now standing at Doral, that was commissioned by a large group of political supporters who just wanted a statue of yours truly,” Trump wrote alongside an image of the golden figure.

“I very much appreciate their support, and all that they went through to get it done! They are very good people. Those playing the Blue Monster, at Doral, are absolutely in love with it. Congratulations to all involved. With time, it will become a Landmark! President DJT,” he added.

Trump faced backlash last week for celebrating the same golden statue as gas prices reached new highs due to the war in Iran. “The Real Deal – GOLD – At Doral in Miami. Put there by great American Patriots!!! President DJT,” Trump posted last Thursday morning as gas prices hit an average of $4.45 in the US.

“The President simply does not care about us or our struggles,” one person said on X. “His priorities are so warped,” someone else posted. “Is this the Golden Age they keep talking about? We can barely afford food and gas,” another person posted.

In a separate post, Trump justified the construction of his opulent White House ballroom by drawing comparisons to China. “China has a Ballroom, and so should the U.S.A.!” the president wrote.

“It’s under construction, ahead of schedule, and will be the finest facility of its kind anywhere in the U.S.A.” he declared.

Trump proceeded to reveal that his ballroom will be unveiled in 2028, mere months before his second term concludes. “Thank you for all the support I have been given in getting this project going. Scheduled opening will be around September of 2028. The man I am walking with is President Xi, of China, one of the World’s Great Leaders! President DONALD J. TRUMP,” he said as he shared a photograph of himself with Xi from his state visit to Beijing.

The revelation follows Senate Republicans’ announcement that they plan to advance a proposal allocating up to $1 billion to the Secret Service for security enhancements to Trump’s White House ballroom project, maintaining that heightened security is essential for the president following last month’s incident in which a man was charged with attempting to assassinate him.

Trump had previously indicated the construction would cost approximately $400 million and would be funded exclusively through private donations. The White House had not earlier disclosed an estimate for security expenses. T

In his latest social media post, Trump showcased a graphic highlighting his impressive TikTok numbers, despite having pushed for a ban on the Chinese-owned platform back in 2020 over national security concerns.

TikTok, created by Beijing-based technology company ByteDance, struck an agreement earlier this year to maintain its US operations. The popular short-form video app now functions under a separate entity with a majority-American board overseeing its stateside activities.

The graphic Trump posted on Friday declared that there have been “400 billion all-time views of #Trump TikToks.” However, it also noted 60 billion views on “all TikToks on President Trump,” representing a significantly lower figure.

Additional statistics highlighted in the graphic included 13 billion views on Operation Epic Fury, 1 billion views on “Trump’s peace deals,” 668 million views on the State of the Union, 195 million views on “Trump’s World Cup,” 48 million views on “Trump’s tax cuts,” and 38 million views on “Trump’s farm aid.”

The nature of these videos — whether supportive or critical — remains unclear, except for the 2 billion views attributed to “all TikToks thanking Trump”

The post further stated that “in 2026, Trump’s 4 TikTok accounts are clocking in a combined” 15 million new views per day, 47,000 new followers per day, 634,000 new views per hour and 2,000 new followers per hour. Trump has just one personal account on TikTok. The White House also launched a TikTok account in August 2025. The graphic’s reference to two additional accounts remained unspecified, and the source of the data was equally unclear.

Trump’s social media activity arrives as his administration edges closer to settling a legal dispute with TikTok concerning alleged child privacy violations.

Reports suggest the Trump administration intends to allocate a $400 million payment from the social media company toward Trump’s Washington, D.C., “beautification” projects.

This development follows Trump being captured on camera doing a shocking act to Melania at an inappropriate moment.
