Fake Trump Post About World Series and Political Tensions Debunked

Multiple sources confirm that President Donald Trump did not post on Truth Social about refusing to invite the 2025 World Series champions to the White House. A widely circulated meme and social media post claimed Trump made such a statement, criticizing teams from California and Ontario, but fact-checking by USA TODAY and Newsweek established the post was fabricated from satire and never appeared on Trump's official platforms. Trump has not publicly addressed meeting with the MLB winners, although he did release a general statement congratulating the teams, the Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays, on their performance. The fake post included inflammatory language suggesting the World Series was rigged and involved political accusations, but authorities and fact-checkers confirmed it was a false claim. Stephen King, the author and critic of Trump, shared a similar false claim on X (formerly Twitter), which also stemmed from a fake screenshot and was flagged by community notes. Additionally, Trump has a history of criticizing California and Canada, notably rejecting a trade ad involving Ronald Reagan's voice and expressing a desire for Canada to become the 51st state. He has also engaged in a longstanding feud with California Governor Gavin Newsom, often mocking him on social media. Overall, there is no evidence that Trump made any such post about the World Series or the teams involved, and the rumors are based on fabricated images and satire.
