Is Viral Screenshot Claiming Donald Trump Criticised Bola Ahmed Tinubu real?

A viral screenshot claims that Donald Trump posted on Truth Social criticising Bola Ahmed Tinubu for travelling to the UK during deadly attacks in Maiduguri.

Background

The claim surfaced after reported attacks in Maiduguri, where multiple locations were hit, leading to casualties.

Around the same time, the Nigerian Presidency announced Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s scheduled visit to the United Kingdom.

A screenshot allegedly showing Donald Trump reacting to the situation began circulating widely across social media.

Verification

We searched Donald Trump’s verified Truth Social account; no such post exists. We checked other official and affiliated platforms, no matching statement.

We reviewed credible news outlets, no report attributing such comments to Trump.

Response from Nigerian Presidency, confirmed the screenshot is fake just as presidential aide Sunday Dare publicly labelled it “Fake!!!”

What This Means

The screenshot is fabricated

No evidence it originated from any verified platform

Likely created to provoke political reactions and misinformation

Verdict

False

The viral screenshot claiming that Donald Trump criticised Bola Ahmed Tinubu is fake.

There is no record of such a post on Truth Social or any credible platform, and the Nigerian Presidency has officially debunked it.
