Trump's face over the Truth Social logo

Trump has frequently promoted a Truth Social account that's shared material calling for Harris, Walz, and others to be killed

Former President Donald Trump has repeatedly interacted with the Truth Social account “Patriot4Life,” including thanking them and “retruthing” them. Patriot4Life has repeatedly promoted calls for political killings, including recently retruthing an image calling for Vice President Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz to be killed. 

Trump has interacted with Patriot4Life ("@1776WeThePeople1776") in at least 70 instances on his social media platform. Those interactions include thanking the account for a pro-Trump message, retruthing the account’s call to jail lawmakers, retruthing what seemed to be an AI image of Trump praying with six fingers, promoting the account’s claim that “God has chosen” Trump, and retruthing the account’s attacks on Harris and Walz, including an image portraying Harris with a dung beetle body and a darkened face. 

Trump also recently retruthed QAnon-themed posts from Patriot4Life. (Media Matters has documented how Trump has promoted QAnon material on Truth Social dozens of times.) 

Any Trump follower that sees Trump’s repeat promotions and then visits that account would likely see exhortations for political violence against Trump’s opponents. 

Patriot4Life recently retruthed a call to murder Harris and Walz in a woodchipper:

Patriot4Life posted an image of numerous political figures, including former Presidents  Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and former Attorneys General Loretta Lynch and Eric Holder. Text stated that “Our Founding Fathers would have hung them for Treason” along with an image of a noose.

The account also posted a meme portraying Rep. Ilham Omar (D-MN) as one of “the enemies” and then retruthed someone suggesting that she be executed.
