Trump Amplifies Jack Smith Phone-Data Fight as Other Posts Lag

Trump defended the U.S. munitions stockpile, thanked former baseball star Johnny Damon for backing him, promoted a report on an EPA rollback and ratepayer savings, and highlighted a new story about the Jack Smith investigation. He also returned to attacking CNN correspondent Kaitlan Collins in a pair of posts that accused the media of hostility toward him. Together, the posts mixed national security claims, economic messaging, legal grievances, and familiar media combat.

U.S. Munitions Stockpile

Military

Trump rejected claims that the United States is running low on munitions, saying the country has more than it could possibly use. He said production is being increased to levels he has never seen before.

The post is aimed at projecting military strength and reassuring supporters who may be worried about weapons inventories amid foreign conflicts and domestic debates over readiness. By framing doubts as the work of “cowards and traitors,” Trump turns a technical defense issue into a loyalty test and reinforces his broader narrative that criticism of his administration is both unpatriotic and false. It also signals an effort to present himself as the commander in chief who is restoring American hard power through industrial scale-up rather than restraint.

"The cowards and traitors would love to say the United States is low on munitions. It's not true."

"We have more munitions than we could ever possibly think of using, and are building them up now at levels we have never seen before."
