<![CDATA[This study examines the role of Truth Social as a digital instrument of populist geopolitics through the strategic political communication of Donald Trump. The article investigates how Trump's rhetoric on Truth Social reflects broader transformations in contemporary international relations, particularly within the context of nationalism, multipolarity, sovereignty, and geopolitical competition. Using qualitative content analysis and critical discourse analysis, the study analyses selected Truth Social posts relating to China, NATO, Russia-Ukraine relations, immigration, American sovereignty, and global governance. The research is anchored on Populist Communication Theory and Realist Theory in international relations. Findings reveal that Trump's digital rhetoric constructs a geopolitical narrative centred on "America First," strategic nationalism, anti-globalism, and civilisational competition. The study further argues that Truth Social functions not merely as a domestic political platform but also as a geostrategic communication mechanism capable of influencing public perceptions of global power relations. Trump's rhetoric demonstrates how social media platforms increasingly shape international political discourse, diplomatic signalling, and ideological polarisation in the twenty-first century. The article concludes that digital populism has become a significant force in contemporary geopolitics, redefining political communication and statecraft in the emerging multipolar international order.]]>
