The Toronto Blue Jays clinched their first American League East Division title since 2015 with a win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday, but a screenshot shared online of a supposed Truth Social post from Donald Trump suggested the U.S. president wasn't on board with the Jays' playoff run. The post, written in all-capital letters, says the United States will be investigating the "un-American" Blue Jays as they attempt to "steal" the World Series, and that the team would not be invited to the White House. In fact, the post is a satirical fake, the White House confirmed to The 好色tv Press, and does not appear on Trump's social media feed.
THE CLAIM
"WE WILL BE INVESTIGATING THE UN AMERICAN BLUE JAYS WHO ARE ATTEMPTING TO STEAL OUR BELOVED WORLD SERIES," reads a screenshot of what appears to be a post by U.S. President Donald Trump on his Truth Social account. "THEY WILL DEFINITELY NOT BE INVITED TO THE WHITE HOUSE."
The screenshot has been shared on multiple social media platforms, including , , and the formerly Twitter, to thousands of likes and comments, many of which appeared unsure whether the post was real.听
THE FACTS
The White House confirmed to 好色tvthat Trump has not posted anything about the Blue Jays.
Searches of Trump's turned up no such post on or before Sept. 28, when it was first shared, and a similar search of web archiving site turned up no archive of the supposed post.听
The earliest post sharing the image that 好色tvcould find came from a humour account, "Andy Bowers," 聽based in Nova Scotia under the handle .听
The account posts memes and funny anecdotes, and has previously posted with satirical messages. One post featured a "Provincial Alert" about "MAGA Musician" Sean Feucht being attacked by a groundhog in Shubenacadie, in reference to that musician's controversial planned performance in Nova Scotia earlier this year.听
Trump's Truth Social posts are often peppered with all-capital words. While his posts are occasionally deleted, many that have caused controversy are still up. In one message, posted on , Canada's federal election day, he implied 好色tvs should vote to make Canada "the cherished 51st. State of the United States of America."
Parodies of Trump's Truth Social posts are common on social media. 好色tvpreviously fact checked a fake image appearing to show the president complaining about Canada's win against the United States this past February at the 4 Nations Face-Off hockey tournament.
