Former U.S. President Donald Trump posted a meme on Truth Social targeting Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni on July 6, 2026. The meme featured an edited image of Meloni looking up at Trump with the caption, "Restraining order needed," suggesting she is overly focused on him. This post was part of a larger social media activity where Trump shared over 100 posts in eight hours.
The ongoing dispute between Trump and Meloni began last month when Trump claimed she was eager to take a photo with him during the G7 summit in France. Meloni responded to Trump's remarks in a video, stating that she was "astonished" by his "completely made-up" claims and expressed disappointment in his behavior towards allies.
In her response, Meloni emphasized her commitment to Italy's national interests and suggested that Trump should focus on his own popularity instead. This exchange follows a history of mutual respect between the two leaders, despite their current feud.
