✅  Top 3 Must-Post Trends

1) Trump Health Conspiracy Goes Viral

Maybe he was eating chocolate with the back of his hand?

Headline: “Trump Is Dead” Conspiracy Theory Explodes Online

Hook:
A wild conspiracy theory claiming Donald Trump died has taken over social media after he briefly went off the public radar. Hashtags like #TrumpIsDead and #WhereIsTrump are trending globally despite zero evidence. Trump quickly debunked rumors by appearing publicly at his golf course with his granddaughter. 1  2  3

Summary (2 paragraphs):
The viral conspiracy began when President Trump had no major public events scheduled over the weekend, sparking online speculation about his health and whereabouts. Clips alleging that “The Simpsons” predicted Trump’s death in August 2025 gained millions of views, repackaging an old meme with fresh edits. Context also included recent disclosures of chronic venous insufficiency, a common cause of leg swelling, plus visible hand bruising in photos. 2  3

The hoax accelerated across X, Instagram, and TikTok before Trump was filmed leaving the White House in golf gear for his Virginia club. Vice President JD Vance publicly called Trump in “excellent shape,” framing the rumor as classic internet myth-making. Takeaway: brief visibility gaps + prior health chatter = ideal conditions for misinformation to metastasize. 3  1  2

Why it pulls views: polarizing figure + memes + media-literacy angle.
Easy angle: deconstruct how/why hoaxes spread—no partisan take required.

Post ideas:

  • TikTok: “POV: Falling for a 2025 conspiracy” (educational jump cuts)

  • IG carousel: “Spot fake news in 5 slides” with this as a case study

  • X thread: Timestamped rumor-timeline with debunks

Micro-CTA: “Ever fallen for a viral hoax? Tell us 👇”

2) College Football Upset: Ohio State Crushes #1 Texas

Good job Ohio!

Headline: Defending Champs Ohio State Shock Top-Ranked Texas 14-7

Hook:
The weekend’s biggest upset: #3 Ohio State beat #1 Texas 14-7 in Columbus. Arch Manning was held to ~170 passing yards by a suffocating Buckeye defense. It’s the 4th straight season-opener where defending champs top the preseason #1. 4  5  6  7

Summary (2 paragraphs):
Freshman QB Julian Sayin sealed it with a 40-yard dart to Carnell Tate late in the fourth. Texas mustered just ~203 total yards against a retooled OSU unit under new DC Matt Patricia, who leaned into pressure + disguised coverages to rattle Manning. 6  7  4

Context matters: Texas entered its first preseason #1 since 2010 with sky-high expectations for the Manning era. OSU’s conservative ground game (34 rushes for 77 yards) usually isn’t a winning script—but the defense turned it into one. Early read: Ohio State stays title-favored; Texas must recalibrate protection and sequencing fast. 7

Why it pulls views: star QB + upset narrative + season-defining stakes.
Easy angle: reactions, breakdowns, or “what this means” explainer.

Post ideas:

  • TikTok: “When #1 gets humbled by the champs”

  • IG Stories: polls after each pivotal play

  • X thread: “Did this flip the playoff picture?”

Micro-CTA: “Dark-horse title pick—go!” 🏈

3) Liverpool’s Free-Kick Magic Beats Arsenal

I have always wanted to get into soccer more, but I never have, so I guess I don’t really want to…

Headline: Szoboszlai’s Screamer Sinks Arsenal at Anfield

Hook:
Dominik Szoboszlai blasted an inch-perfect late free kick to give Liverpool a 1-0 win over Arsenal. It ends Arsenal’s 22-game unbeaten run vs top-six opponents (first loss since April 2023). Early psychological edge to Liverpool in the title race. 8  9  10

Summary (2 paragraphs):
For 80+ minutes it was chess. Then Szoboszlai’s technique—pace, whip, and placement—left David Raya stuck. Liverpool struggled to puncture Arsenal’s block until that moment; one set piece decided a match that otherwise felt draw-bound. 9  10  8

Arsenal controlled phases but lacked a ruthless striker; the finishing question lingers. Liverpool, perfect under Arne Slot, broadcast that the rebuild already carries bite. Bank this result: head-to-head swings often matter in May. 10  8

Why it pulls views: elite clubs, iconic moment, title implications.
Easy angle: goal reaction + technique breakdown.

Post ideas:

  • TikTok: “Rating free kicks that broke the internet”

  • IG Reel: slow-mo mechanics of Szobo’s strike

  • X debate: “Does this nudge the title race?”

Micro-CTA: “Best free kick you’ve seen live—name it.”

⚡ Engagement Booster Tip

Thread the Needle on Trump: Ride the traffic via media-literacy angles—how hoaxes spread, confirmation bias, “Simpsons prediction” myth-busting—rather than political takes. Pair with source links.
Sports Sunday: Use college football/Premier League as metaphors (teamwork, resilience, “adjust at halftime”) to reach beyond sports niches.

🔮 Looking Ahead

  • Labor Day / Back-to-School (Sep 1): Expect nostalgic “end of summer” + study-setup content.

  • NFL Kickoff (early Sep): Prep football-adjacent posts: snacks, watch-party guides, fantasy checklists.

  • Venice Film Festival (this week): Red-carpet fashion, breakout directors, buzzy premieres ripe for style and culture angles. 19

See you tomorrow!
