Deliberate or just losing his mind?

    This is like old people telling their partner to get milk on Facebook in a public post or doing a Google search in the comments of a Google Facebook post.

    Without a doubt was not intended as a post, I assume Trump uses direct messaging on Truth Social for government business. This isn’t directly to the public, it shows that he really like that. And it’s blatantly incompetent to reveal it like that.

    Not that it matters, the president is a convicted felon, pedophile protecting that just got caught telling the DOJ to arrest his political enemies with no evidence and he still has support of his cultists. It’s almost hard to believe how far we’ve fallen.

      That’s the unsurprising but sad thing to me. His posts on Truth Social are unhinged rants, but I still held out some hope that when he was talking privately to members of his own team he would at least refrain from using the stupid nicknames, the over the top bragging, the insults to random other people, but no. It looks like when he’s sending a memo to his attorney general he writes it as if he’s looking for social media likes from red-hatted morons.

    How did this imbecile ever become anything, let alone allowed to ‘run’ a country…twice? TWICE!!!
    He’s a fucking village idiot in need of a village, an obvious traitor, an unregistered child rapist, a convicted criminal AND rapist. And yet he’s seen no consequences plus been president of the us twice.
    Fuck sake, I just can not understand it. It’s unfathomable.

      Americans are, in general, far dumber than Trump.

      If that’s the chosen leader of all those fucking MAGA troglodytes, think of what that says about them. Following a spoiled petulant toddler brained moron rapist grifter.

      There is no more pathetic person on this earth than a Drumpf supporter.

      I used to have “imposter syndrome”, where I would always feel like I am just pretending to be a qualified and knowledgeable individual, and that at any moment someone would unmask me as a fraud, even if I wasn’t and had no reason to feel that way.

      Then Trump got elected and suddenly I was cured. If that moron can get elected to the most important job in the country, whatever I’m doing is small potatoes. You can be an incompetent fool and still have people fall over themselves to defend you if you have confidence and strut around with an air of legitimacy.

      By the time he was elected a second time, I no longer believed in either humanity or the concept of being “unqualified”.

      Let him be an inspiration. Chase your dreams. If the village idiot can successfully become POTUS, you can do whatever you set your mind to.

      It has everything to do with how you used ‘run’ to describe it. Trump is a necessary figurehead and lightning rod of controversy that strengthens the oligarchy.

      You should look at social media and see what the algorithm that present only “the good part” of Trump while brushing aside the bad parts. That is, if you are willing to go down that rabbit hole.

      I know people who acknowledges the bad aspects of Trump but also says “some of the things he says make sense.” I wonder what those are specifically. My guess is that depending on what you value, those values are supposedly embodied in Trump, while the negatives aren’t shown by algorithm. Conversely, those who don’t like Trump only see the bad sides and little to no good. Not that it’s a criticism of the latter, Trump objectively did more harm than good, kinda like Hitler who still “did some good things”. What is lost is nuance on understanding why people like or dislike a politician, whether because of personal values or propaganda have convinced them.

    This is so nutty.

    Every day that goes by I wonder how even republicans can pretend like his behavior is totally fine and normal.

    This is how your deranged 80 year old uncle posts on facebook. POTUS not so much.

    Frankly, I cannot completely parse this text and I won’t try. It could give me TDS.

    But it does look like he’s accidentally publicly talking about things that are happening behind the curtain.

    No news per se: we already know that this is a fascist coup. But another piece of evidence.

    The whole post is so incoherent that I couldn’t even tell that the random segue was meant to be directed at someone else without the highlight.

    This dude’s brain is mush.

    This reminds me of when the Ukraine blackmail story first broke. Even before the impeachment push, it seemed like the story was far more riveting – entirely because of the whistleblower angle. I remember thinking at the time that if all the transcripts being shown on the news with the reactions and dramatic highlighter effects had instead been a public statement by Trump that “yeah, we’re withholding weapons until Zelensky gives us dirt on Biden,” the entire thing would have blown over in a week. Maybe this could be similar?

    (You know what else has the cachet of secrecy and coverup? The Epstein files.)

      Nah it still would’ve been a big deal. Any other president would’ve been impeached if they personally withheld international military aid to an allied country under active invasion just for a promise that they would make up a lie about his political opponent’s son.

    They are using his fake twitter clone for government communication outside of oversight. I imagine they have relatively horrible information handling and security practices at that company… Has Anonymous or anyone tried to hack in and release?

      Pretty much all of the original Anonymous were caught, hired by the government, or disappeared. They haven’t been a real thing in almost a decade. If you see anyone claiming to be them, it’s a government PsyOP.

        Interesting. Not unbelievable, but I hadn’t heard specifically. Also, always assumed the point was that it would never have a set or core membership? “We are anonymous” means that you, me, grandpa, we’re all also anonymous, if we have the skillset and want to take up the mantle.

        So in that way, anonymous could never be contained/captured in the way you mentioned. Again, that was just more my assumption/understanding. “I am Sparticus”, V for Vendetta, etc…

    the 2016-2020 trump timelime pales compare to this one. Back then, we had late night shows making fun of him, stupid and random tweets (remember covfefe?). Things only blew up during covid and george floyd and the Jan 6th insurrection.

    This timeline 2025 to 2029 (supposedly) is full of what the fuck moments. And we’re not even done with the 1st year !!
