The general rule of transparency is to make you look good and strong, not like a feeble-minded limp dick.

    Why does he keep posting this stuff on Truth Social. He just looks so amateure. Which other world leader posts on social media like this?

      What other world leaders will even see his posts directly? I mean, I can’t imagine any other country taking his Truth Social seriously enough to join it in an official capacity

        I’m sure every major government has staffers that monitor the public (and sometimes private) communications of other world leaders. That means there are people who work in say Iran, or Israel or Nigeria who are on Truth Social just so they can brief higher-ups about what Trump is doing and saying.

          Oh, definitely. It would probably be irresponsible to not monitor his media unofficially. It’s the way he is acting like this is an official method of open communication to mediate between governments that’s ridiculous to me. Maybe I’ve forgotten how things were before Twitter shut his account down, but I’m still amazed he doesn’t have people who can get him to understand how bad this is

        He’s not talking to anyone but his echo chamber there. It doesn’t matter who else sees it so long as his followers do.

      We already did all this. I guess most people were - in boarding school or something, idk, but we did allll of this before.

      He’s a demented malignant narcissist. For the moment, forget that he’s a rapist, a crook, a fraud, corrupt as the day is long, a tool of russia, and so very, very far from whatever the ideals idiot evangelicals think he embodies.

      He only has one filter: how does [insert subject] benefit him? There are NO other considerations; he is incapable of them.

      From there he goes to the most direct way to achieve the benefit to himself. If one does not exist he follows the Clap-o-meter, or, failing that, whatever the last thing was that someone next to him said.

      It produces such very sad, incompetent chaos. Anyone who didn’t do something to stop him should be very ashamed. But, like trump, the cult doesn’t “do” shame and so here we are again.

      A lot of them unfortunately, at least in Europe every other news article quotes a politican’s Twitter post
