Hoax! Trump's Social Media Screenshot Provokes Indonesia

Jakarta – A screenshot of a post on Truth Social attributed to Donald Trump narrates the inconsistent attitude of Indonesian society towards the Shia group. The post claims that Shia has long been considered a wrong and dangerous sect, but now some parties are said to support Iran due to global political factors. Here is the translation in the post: “Most Indonesians are Sunni, right? And for years, you’ve constantly heard about how Shia is”wrong,” “dangerous,” and so on—big campaign, big talk. Everyone’s shouting. And now? Suddenly they’re supporting the Shia regime in Iran—just because its enemy is Israel and America. Incredible how that happens! Total change. No consistency, no principles—just politics. Saying one thing yesterday, doing the complete opposite today. Very convincing… NO! HYPOCRISY on a different level. SAD!! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP” However, is that Trump post real? Explanation: Based on the investigation, no official post from Donald Trump on his social media platforms was found mentioning Indonesia supporting Iran or accusing such inconsistency. Meanwhile, the Indonesian government emphasises that it remains committed to the principles of free and active foreign policy and adopts a neutral stance in responding to conflicts in the Middle East. The government also stresses that Indonesia acts as a mediator promoting peace without siding with any party. In addition, the government has taken several steps, such as encouraging conflict de-escalation, enhancing diplomatic communication with relevant countries, and ensuring the protection of Indonesian citizens in the region. Therefore, the screenshot conveys untrue information or is a hoax. Claim: Trump’s post provokes Indonesia Rating: Hoax Fact-check: Hoax!
