(REUTERS)What the viral screenshot claimsA rumor on social media says President Donald Trump asked Americans to get ready for an outage and stock up on supplies, citing intelligence reports.

The claim began as a screenshot that seems to show a post from Trump’s official Truth Social account.The alleged post read, “URGENT: New intelligence and global developments indicate there could be serious disruptions to our food supply, banking system, and critical services in the coming weeks.”It also said, “To protect your family, I strongly recommend that Americans take the following steps immediately: Stock up on at least 90 DAYS of food, water, and essential supplies. Withdraw your cash from the bank and keep it on hand.”The post further said, “Be prepared for potential internet and cell service outages.

This is about being prepared, not panicking. The risks are real, and it’s better to be ready now than to be caught off guard later,” Trump added. “I want to thank Diane Cavoto, who has been sounding the alarm on this for months.

She has been right, and her guidance has helped many Americans get prepared. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
