It was a small piece of paper — but it said a lot. During a White House meeting, Secretary of State Marco Rubio quietly handed President Donald Trump a handwritten note that instantly caught his attention.
Photographers captured the moment. A zoomed-in shot revealed the message: “You need to approve a Truth Social post soon so you can announce deal first.”
The note referred to a peace deal between Israel and Hamas that Trump had been brokering.
“We’re very close to a deal on the Middle East,” Trump told the room after reading it. Moments later, he wrapped up the event, saying Rubio “could probably do an even better job than me.”
Two hours later, a post appeared on Trump’s Truth Social: “Israel and Hamas have both signed off on the first phase of our Peace Plan.”
It confirmed what many had suspected — Trump’s social media announcements are carefully timed and approved.
Sometimes, the smallest notes reveal the biggest truths. What do you think this one says about how power really works?
