Donald Trump has always shared bizarre, unconventional social media posts on holidays, and his annual Father’s Day message on Truth Social was in keeping with that tradition.

At 7:41 a.m. on Sunday, Trump posted a message to Truth Social that consisted mostly of bragging, although this time he left out his typical reference to “the haters and losers.”

“Happy Father’s Day!,” the president wrote on his social network. “Our Country is doing GREAT. Record Jobs Numbers and Stock Market, BEST ECONOMY EVER! Greatest Military in the World, by far. We are WINNING on all fronts, WINNING LIKE NEVER BEFORE. GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!! President DONALD J. TRUMP.”

The official White House X account shared the post:

The “winning on all fronts” boast was somewhat odd, coming just days after the completion of an agreement to end the war with Iran that seemed to make no one happy- and also has not resulted in the opening of the Strait of Hormuz.

That part led to some befuddled reactions on social media:
