This isn’t a real Truth Social post from Trump about ending dual citizenship

U.S. law allows Americans to hold citizenship in other countries, “whether by birth, descent, naturalization or other form of acquisition,” the State Department’s website says.

But an image of a purported Truth Social post from President Donald Trump might leave some social media users wondering whether that right is threatened. 

“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,” reads what looks like a March 30 Truth Social post from Trump. “No exceptions!!!!! America is for Americans, not all these foreigners who hate our great country and don’t even pay taxes.”

Facebook posts sharing images of the Truth Social post were flagged as part of Meta’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Meta, which owns Facebook, Instagram and Threads.)

We reviewed Trump’s Truth Social account and found no such March 30 post from him. 

The image in the Facebook posts appears to show Trump shared the citizenship announcement at 11 a.m. that day. He did post at 11 a.m. ET on March 30, but it was to quote former United Kingdom Prime Minister Winston Churchill and former President Ronald Reagan. 

Trump’s Truth, a website that archives his Truth Social posts, shows no such post about ending dual citizenship in its archive. 

Searching for news coverage of Trump announcing an end to dual citizenship, we found none. 

We rate claims this is a real post from Trump False.
