(Editor’s note: Article contains offensive language in paragraph two)There is no evidence a screenshot of a Truth Social post by former United States President Donald Trump calling fellow Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis a homophobic slur is authentic. A screenshot of the purported Truth Social post reads, "Happy PRIDE MONTH to the "Governor" of Florida, Ron DeFAGGOT!" Additionally, no such posts can be seen in the archived versions of his Truth Social timeline from the beginning of June, when Pride is celebrated (archive.is/xTjmQ), (archive.is/pI0ro), (archive.is/OoeJP). Former President Donald Trump, who was defeated by President Joe Biden in 2020, is the front-runner in a Republican primary race that also includes Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Reuters could not find any evidence that Donald Trump referred to Ron DeSantis using a slur in a post on his Truth Social social network.
