Recent leaks from the Oval Office and social media reveal that former President Donald Trump drafted but did not publish a series of posts on Truth Social regarding the severe flooding and natural disasters in Washington State. A photograph shared by Eric Trump on Instagram shows a draft labeled 'DRAFT TRUTH' on the Resolute Desk, where Trump expressed intentions to announce a disaster declaration and federal aid to save lives. Although the emergency declaration was officially approved on December 12, 2025, Trump chose not to post this message publicly, instead focusing on other topics such as praising tariffs and making unrelated statements. Critics highlight that the delay in communication and the decision not to publish the draft may undermine public confidence during crises. The leaks also reveal internal pressures, such as a note from Secretary of State Marco Rubio urging Trump to approve a social media post to announce a deal, illustrating the political influence on crisis communication. The discrepancy between the drafted message and the actual public response underscores ongoing challenges in presidential crisis management, transparency, and the strategic use of social media during emergencies.
