A tweet doing the rounds on the social media platform X seems to hint that President Donald Trump is planning to ban alcohol in the United States of America. The post has left many confused, but is there any truth to the claims made in this post? Here’s a breakdown of what this tweet is and what it means.
Donald Trump’s ‘Ban alcohol’ tweet surfaces
The tweet that has been doing the rounds on social media platforms like X, featuring a post allegedly made by President Donald Trump, has kick-started rumors about Trump going for a possible alcohol ban in the country. However, there is no truth to this post.
The post, whose screenshots are doing rounds on X, reads, “A very disturbing thing is happening all across our great country. RAGING ALCOHOLICS everywhere. Bars packed, bottles flowing, nobody working, nobody focused. Weak leaders allowed it to spiral completely out of control. Families destroyed, productivity GONE, streets a mess. Nobody wants to say it, but I will.”
The X post further adds, “If this continues, maybe it’s time to seriously look at the 18th Amendment Prohibition, to ban alcohol permanently. America was stronger, safer, and sharper before the drinking culture took over. We don’t need hangovers – we need GREATNESS. LET’S MAKE AMERICA SOBER AGAIN!”
The tone of the post may be enough to convince many that it is Donald Trump who wrote this, but this post is entirely fabricated. The most prominent sign of this is that the post was made on X. Donald Trump is not active on X and uses Truth Social to voice his opinions on a regular basis. Hence, this is a false post that does not indicate anything regarding an alcohol ban in the United States of America. However, the post had left many confused.
