CNN, citing its own analysis and the third-party tracker Factbase, reported on October 25, 2026 that Trump's 1,323-word Truth Social post about Bill Maher was his longest post ever. Factbase's count covered about 97,455 posts since 2011, which also supports the broader 'social media' wording.

This claim is in the show notes, the publisher's own words. It counts against the post, once.

What we found

Supports. CNN reported on October 25, 2026 that Trump had 'just penned his longest Truth Social post ever,' according to a CNN analysis and a third-party tracking firm, at 1,323 words.[1][2]

Supports. Factbase, the database operators, said the anti-Maher essay was Trump's 'longest post ever out of 97,455 cumulative social media posts since 2011.'[3][4]

Supports. A later Reuters item from October 31 repeats that the Maher post, published October 25, was Trump's longest ever on Truth Social.[5]

Context. The Mary Sue piece dates the post to October 25, 2026, and quotes its content, so it places the post on the claimed date.[6]
