    Hey, you need an archive link of this tweet (archive.is or xcancel are pretty good). I see that someone linked the axios article, but it’s paywalled and I don’t have the bandwidth to look for the link, etc. Anyone can help do this, everyone has an hour.

    Edit: Someone else posted a direct link, so it’s verified to be true. Archive.is isn’t archiving it for some reason. https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/116351998782539414

    At this point I feel like he could just fuck and kill a baby on stage and his supporters would just be like “Wow, he’s a real maverick who don’t play by nobody’s rules!”

    Hyperbole, obvs, but it’s feeling more possible every day.

      I think it’s weird at this point to just blame his supporters. A whole country would just watch him fuck a babie and go: well i did not vote for that, therefore ther eis nothing i can do

    I honestly didn’t believe it was real either simply because he doesn’t swear in his posts. So he is cracking. the only question is if that will be a good thing or not.

    i like how the ever looming threat of epstein files, trump has made him more and more desperate and erratic, especially since BLANCHE is the new AG. even from the grave epstein is haunting/cursing trump.

      The good news is that now the AI only needs a kilobyte of RAM and can be safely stored on a single floppy disk.

        I supposed the good ways if he goes completely off the deep end and starts talking about rat people living in his head, his handlers won’t be able to hide it anymore and they’ll have to remove him from office.

          They wouldn’t do that, all his supporters would go out and get rats installed in their heads. The rat king would gain more support than before.

        It says media is insanely powerful and we were idiots for not understanding that at any time in the last 60 years.

        Other countries - it’s coming for you. You’ll have your own MAGA cult soon if you don’t already.

          Other countries don’t have this problem because they don’t have the free for all media landscape that the US does.

          For example, in virtually every other country there’s a well funded public broadcaster. And, even when that public broadcaster isn’t dominating the viewership, it’s normally seen as the most trustworthy news source. So, people can watch their favourite news channel, but when they want to fact check something they know they can tune in the public broadcaster.

          Other countries are also not as insane as the US when it comes to defunding public education. Having a population that is able to tell fact from fiction is seen as important by most other countries, even if that means slightly higher taxes. The US sees well funded education as communism, and is trying to get rid of it, or defund it at a minimum.

          The US is also one of the only places with a true 2-party duopoly with no other options for voters. Even in countries where only 2 parties have a realistic chance at forming a government, there are other parties that siphon off the crazies, and/or put pressure on the mainstream parties from both left and right.

          I’ve lived in 4 other countries and have visited dozens more. The US is truly unique, and not in a good way. I’m not saying it couldn’t happen somewhere else, but it’s much more likely to happen in the US because of unique US dysfunction.

            What’s happening in the US was based on what had already been done in Hungary. Every single thing you mentioned happened there first.

          Other countries - it’s coming for you. You’ll have your own MAGA cult soon if you don’t already.

          Not too downplay the serious threat the hard right represent all over the world but it’s not likely that they will get mega into other countries. Firstly because everyone can see what an absolute disaster they have been in the US but also because Trump isn’t possible without a cult of personality and that’s really hard to achieve.

          Le Pen tried it in France and Nigel Farage is trying it in the UK and both have run up against the limits of support. There’s always going to be the racists and the stupid who will vote for them (who then turned to inviting when things don’t go their way), but they don’t have the personality credits to convince the fence sitters over to their side.

        More like Uncle Pedo sold both of your kidneys to the triads and now he’s trying to blame the family’s anger at him on your asthmatic lungs not being good enough for the triad, so that’s why he sold them the second kidney instead of 1 lung and 1 kidney.

    I don’t think anyone has ever accused trump of being good at poker but this is a masterpiece in how to tell your enemy that their chokehold is very effective and you have no power to change that.

      I guess he’s trying to insult them. I think he’s confusing praising allah with picturing muhammed. I gues he’ll learn eventually and his next tweet will be some horrible AI generated depiction of muhammed.
