If you’ve spent any time on Truth Social or X (formerly Twitter) lately, you know things move fast. One minute everyone is talking about a slider that hung over the plate, and the next, there’s a screenshot of a "presidential post" going viral that looks just real enough to make you double-check. So, did Trump post about the World Series?
The short answer is yes. But there is a massive catch.
Because we live in an era of digital trickery, half of what people saw during the 2025 World Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Toronto Blue Jays was actually fake. We’re talking about high-quality parodies designed to stir the pot during a tense international matchup.
The Real Post: "Incredible CHAMPIONS"
Honestly, the real message was much more traditional than the internet rumors suggested. After the Los Angeles Dodgers clinched their second consecutive title in a wild Game 7—winning 5-4 in the 11th inning—President Trump took to Truth Social to offer his congratulations.
He called them “incredible CHAMPIONS!!!” and specifically pointed out that "a lesser group of men would never have been able to win that game." It was classic Trump style: all caps for emphasis and a nod to the "stars" and "ownership" who made it happen. He capped it off with a formal invitation, promising to see them all at the White House.

This followed his 2024 precedent. Remember, he already hosted the Dodgers back in April 2025 for their previous championship. He’s clearly a fan of the organization, or at least a fan of their winning streak.
The Fake Post: "Rigged by the Dems & the Mafia"
Now, here is where things get messy. While the Dodgers were battling the Blue Jays, a screenshot started circulating that looked exactly like a Trump post. It claimed the World Series was "rigged" by "the Dems & the Mafia" and stated he would "refuse to invite either baseball team to my ballroom."
It was fake.
The post was a satirical creation that caught fire because of the real-world political tension happening at the same time. Trump had recently criticized a television ad aired in Ontario that used a 1987 Ronald Reagan speech to argue against tariffs. Trump called the ad "fraudulent" and even slapped an extra 10% tariff on Canadian goods in response. Because he was already feuding with Canada, people found it very easy to believe he was also attacking their baseball team.

Why the Confusion Matters
People get confused because the line between Trump’s real rhetoric and the parodies is often thin. When he’s actually posting about trade wars and "hostile acts" from Canada, a fake post about "un-American Blue Jays" doesn't seem that far-fetched to the average scroller.
But looking at the official record, the White House actually released a very bipartisan, "love of the game" style message before the series started. It talked about baseball being "woven into the fabric of the American story" and sent best wishes to both teams for a safe series.
Key Takeaways on Trump's World Series Commentary
If you're trying to separate fact from fiction, here's the breakdown of what actually happened:
- The 2024 Invite: Trump hosted the Dodgers in April 2025 at the White House. He spent time praising stars like Shohei Ohtani and Mookie Betts.
- The 2025 Victory Post: He officially congratulated the Dodgers on Truth Social after their Game 7 win against Toronto in November 2025.
- The Tariff Drama: While he didn't call the World Series "rigged," he did use the timeframe of the series to escalate a trade dispute with Canada over a Reagan-themed advertisement.
- The "Losers" Quote: Any post you saw where he called the MLB "inept" or said "I don't host losers" regarding the 2025 series has been debunked by independent fact-checkers.
It’s kind of wild how much a single fake screenshot can change the narrative of a championship. The Dodgers made history by being the first team to win back-to-back titles since the 2000 Yankees, but for a few days, the headlines were almost stolen by a meme.

How to Verify Future Posts
Next time a "bombshell" post drops during a major sporting event, don't just trust the screenshot. Check the timestamp and look for the actual post on the original platform. Usually, if Trump actually posts something controversial about sports, it’ll be on the front page of every major news site within twenty minutes. If it’s only on a random Facebook group or a "meme" account, it’s probably a fake.
Keep an eye on the official White House briefing room for the formal ceremony date. The Dodgers are expected to make their second trip to D.C. under this administration sometime in the spring of 2026.
Actionable Insights:
- Check the Source: Before sharing a viral post about the World Series, verify it on Truth Social or the official White House archives.
- Separate Sports from Trade: Recognize that Trump’s comments on Canadian trade are real, but his "rigged" baseball comments were parodies.
- Watch the Calendar: Look for the official Dodgers White House visit in Spring 2026 to see the live interaction between the team and the President.
