(20,092 posts)33. Yes, sadly, it is.
Daily Beast did an entire feature article on it. In the second paragraph below, the word "RANT" is a hot link to the Truth Social post. As you might assume, correctly, I have no intention of posting a Truth Social link here, but it's right there in the article if you want it:

After disappearing for four days, President Trump took to Truth Social Saturday to inform the public about one thing he did this week: yell at landscapers.
His angry rant about a gardening snafu in the Rose Garden ended with a contractor being barred from the White House following a detailed investigation into a horticultural offense.
