Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić has once again found himself at the center of controversy after posting a letter on Instagram that he claims was sent to him by U.S. President Donald Trump. The letter, filled with vague motivational platitudes about cooperation and U.S. support for Serbia, has raised serious doubts about its authenticity.
Where Is Trump’s Signature?
One of the most glaring issues with the letter is the absence of Trump’s signature—an essential component of any official communication from a U.S. president. Additionally, the document does not adhere to the formal structure typically used for presidential correspondence, making it appear more like a fabricated publicity stunt than a genuine diplomatic exchange.
Manipulation or Misstep?
If the letter is indeed fake, this is not just an innocent embellishment—it is a deliberate attempt to mislead the Serbian public into believing that their country enjoys strong support from the United States. Vučić appears desperate to manufacture international approval, seemingly assuming that no one would question the legitimacy of the letter.
Trump’s Possible Response
Given Vučić’s history of using propaganda to maintain his grip on power, it would be in Trump’s interest to address this situation. If the letter is a fabrication, a direct denial from Trump could expose Vučić’s deception and serve as a warning to other leaders who might attempt similar tactics.
Vučić continues to portray himself as a leader for the people, yet many Serbians are looking for an exit. If this latest stunt is any indication, trust in his leadership—both at home and abroad—is wearing thin.
