A surprising move, Donald Trump’s recent homage to the late Rosalynn Carter has stirred speculation about its authenticity. Questions arise following a Newsweek report on Monday, November 20, 2023, suggesting that Trump may not have been the actual author of the tribute.
The Carter Center confirmed the passing of the former first lady on Sunday at the age of 96, after a long battle with dementia. She peacefully left the world at 2:10 p.m., surrounded by family at her home in Plains, Georgia. Meanwhile, her husband of 77 years, former President Jimmy Carter, has been in hospice care for several months.
Trump, currently the leading contender for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, took to his Truth Social platform to honor Rosalynn Carter alongside others. Despite praising her as a significant advocate for mental health and a humanitarian, social media users have raised eyebrows about the post’s authorship.

In the tribute, Trump lauded Carter’s dedication as a First Lady and her role in advocating for mental health, emphasizing her enduring 77-year partnership with President Carter. He commended her legacy from her time as a U.S. Navy spouse to her contributions to the Carter Center and volunteer work with Habitat for Humanity.
While some expressed surprise at Trump’s seemingly contrasting actions, others pointed out the absence of the usual grammatical errors and unique language associated with his social media posts. Critics on social media, such as Ron Filipkowski and Mike Sington, doubted the authenticity of Trump’s words, citing the departure from his typical style.
Notably, Trump’s spokesperson, Steven Cheung, dismissed the skepticism as a manifestation of Trump Derangement Syndrome and suggested that those raising questions might need professional help. As speculation swirls, the public remains divided over the true authorship of the tribute to Rosalynn Carter.
