<h3><strong>What is the claim?</strong></h3>
<p>A viral image is circulating on social media along with the claim that it shows a Truth Social post by U.S. President Donald Trump stating that he is ending dual citizenship in the country under the Espionage Act.</p>
<p>The viral fake screenshot dated March 30, 2025, reads in all caps, “STARTING ON MONDAY, I AM ENDING DUAL CITIZENSHIP UNDER THE ESPIONAGE ACT AND ALL THESE TRAITORS WILL BE ‘DENATURALIZED AND DEPORTED’ TO THE COUNTRY THEY CAME FROM. NO EXCEPTIONS!!!!! AMERICA IS FOR AMERICANS, NOT ALL THESE FOREIGNERS WHO HATE OUR GREAT COUNTRY AND DON’T EVEN PAY TAXES.”</p>

<p id=”isPasted”>However, we found this is not a genuine post by Donald Trump on Truth Social. The viral image has been fabricated.</p>
<h3 id=”isPasted”><strong>What are the facts?</strong></h3>
<p>We checked Trump’s Truth Social <a href=”https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump”>account</a> and found no such post by him indicating anything about ending dual citizenship in the U.S. (archived <a href=”https://ghostarchive.org/archive/oRu09″>here</a>).</p>
<p>We then checked <a href=”https://trumpstruth.org/search?query=I+AM+ENDING+DUAL+CITIZENSHIP+UNDER+THE+ESPIONAGE+ACT”>Trump’s Truth</a>, a website that archives all his posts but did not find any such post (archived <a href=”https://perma.cc/Y4JR-NJZT”>here</a>). Subsequently, we checked <a href=”https://x.com/realDonaldTrump”>Trump’s</a> official X account and found no statement about ending dual citizenship (archived <a href=”https://perma.cc/D89B-KN8K”>here</a>).</p>
<p>Furthermore, we conducted a Google <a href=”https://www.google.com/search?q=ENDING+DUAL+CITIZENSHIP+UNDER+THE+ESPIONAGE+ACT+site%3Atruthsocial.com%2F%40realdonaldtrump&amp;sca_esv=752ffc208ce546ac&amp;ei=c0ruZ8i0BsK7seMPv46d-Q0&amp;ved=0ahUKEwiIuou8vLuMAxXCXWwGHT9HJ98Q4dUDCBA&amp;uact=5&amp;oq=ENDING+DUAL+CITIZENSHIP+UNDER+THE+ESPIONAGE+ACT+site%3Atruthsocial.com%2F%40realdonaldtrump&amp;gs_lp=Egxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAiVUVORElORyBEVUFMIENJVElaRU5TSElQIFVOREVSIFRIRSBFU1BJT05BR0UgQUNUIHNpdGU6dHJ1dGhzb2NpYWwuY29tL0ByZWFsZG9uYWxkdHJ1bXBIAFAAWABwAHgAkAEAmAEAoAEAqgEAuAEDyAEA-AEBmAIAoAIAmAMAkgcAoAcAsgcAuAcA&amp;sclient=gws-wiz-serp”>search</a> but found no news reports from credible media outlets about such a statement. If Trump had made such a statement about ending dual citizenship and deporting these individuals, it would have been reported by multiple news outlets.</p>
<p>Next, we noticed that the viral screenshot bears a timestamp of March 30, 2025, 11:00 a.m. Using this, we found a <a href=”https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114251978476715796″>post</a> on Trump’s Truth Social account from the <a href=”https://trumpstruth.org/statuses/30424″>same</a> date and time (archived <a href=”https://ghostarchive.org/archive/zGXt9″>here</a> and <a href=”https://perma.cc/HC73-8E3R”>here</a>) on a different topic. This suggests the original post from March 30 was altered to add the text about dual citizenship.</p>

<p>Moreover, we observed that the viral screenshot text appears bolder than the original Trump’s Truth Social <a href=”https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/114265988202750791″>posts</a>, which display standard non-bold text (archived <a href=”https://ghostarchive.org/archive/sH8R0″>here</a>).</p>
