Fact Check: Trump Did NOT Post Complaint About Ukraine's Attacks On Russia Interrupting His Sleep

Did U.S. President Donald Trump complain on social media that Ukraine's attacks on Russia interfere with his sleep? No, that's not true: A search across his account on Truth Social did not produce a match to the image a viral post purported to have taken from his account. Searches across an archived version of his account and news reports did not confirm that the post in question ever existed.

The claim appeared in a post (archived here) on X where it was published on June 3, 2025. It opened:

The post displayed what seemed to be a screenshot of a post published by Trump's account on social media:

TODAY ľm sending very strong note protest President Zelenskyy. Very strong!

From now on, demand all operations be conducted *after* my lunch. That's fair. That's classy. Let's keep civilized, folks!

Another search for the exact wording from the purported post (archived here) across the "TRUMP'S TRUTH" archive of Trump's posts on Truth Social did not produce a match:
