Truth Social Lies
Donald Trump's troubled social media platform can add one more problem to its list of woes: Fake government accounts. Impersonators on Truth Social grabbed handles used by law enforcement agencies, branches of the military, and federal officials.
One account uses the same avatar as the NYPD's Twitter account and has posted as if it is actually the NYPD.
There are clues that it's inauthentic. It follows just two accounts: Trump and Donald Trump Jr. NYPDNews recently welcomed Trump Jr. when he finally joined the app. "We are here with you," it wrote, along with a balloon emoji.

The NYPD confirmed that it doesn't control this account.

"That is not an official NYPD social media account," NYPD spokesperson Jessica McRorie told the Daily Dot via email on Friday.

The Navy, Army, FBI, CIA, State Department, and Justice Department also confirmed that their agencies don't control the Truth Social accounts using their Twitter handles. "This is not an official CIA account," an agency spokesperson told the Daily Dot via email.

"We’ve contacted the company to have it taken down," a Navy spokesperson told the Daily Dot via email on Friday. "The Navy does not have a presence on Truth Social currently."

It's possible that Truth Social reserved accounts for government agencies and officials. If so, it's unclear how others gained access to @NYPDNews and other accounts whose handles match government agencies' and representatives' official Twitter accounts.

Further, there aren't Truth Social accounts for numerous government entities that are on Twitter. As of this writing, no one has claimed the handles used by the U.S. Marine Corps, AmeriCorps, the Agency for Global Media, and others.

Two of the accounts the Daily Dot reviewed use a government handle but aren't pretending to represent the government. The POTUS account's bio states, "This is a parody account for all you lying dog-faced pony soldiers to tag."

The @WhiteHouse account purports to belong to Joshua Whitehouse, a former New Hampshire state representative who briefly worked for the Trump administration. The Daily Dot wasn't able to reach Whitehouse to confirm whether he runs the account.

Whoever does control @WhiteHouse is a big fan of Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.). The bio includes Gaetz's website and the sum total of its activity consists of reposting—"retruthing" in Truth Social parlance—Gaetz twice.

The @NASA account doesn't appear to be controlled by the U.S. agency tasked with exploring the cosmos, though it appears to at first glance. NASA didn't respond to messages asking whether it controls the Truth Social account that shares the same handle as its official Twitter.
