I do not believe for one second that Donald Trump wrote that. It's completely coherent.

[–] nocturne@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 day ago

My thoughts exactly.

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

and too long, never seen him publish more than a dozen words (someone else wrote his books btw)

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The story of the publication of "The Art Of The Deal" is hilarious.

Trump gave the store away; he let the 'ghost' writer get his name on the cover and take half the profits from the book. No other ghost writer has ever gotten a deal that good.

And the writer spent the next few decades telling anyone who'd listen that Trump was a giant idiot.

The ghost writer said he has a deep regret now, because he feels like he had a lot to do with rebranding Trump's public image away from "a big loudmouth crook and dumb liar who is full of shit at all times" and into "and that's a GOOD thing, because he keeps winning!"

I'm a native New Yorker and Trump was mocked here for decades.

The people who hated him first were the Manhattan elites he was so desperate to join.

When he built his Tower he promised to preserve the façade of the building he was razing. After publicly swearing he had the whole thing obliterated.

[–] PhilipTheBucket@quokk.au 2 points 23 hours ago

Yeah, every single person in NYC knew he was a massive piece of shit. I meant a little more the public perception outside of that, where he was this kind of lovable rule-breaking rogue instead of just a facade destroying rapist who didn't pay his people.

Remember that the words of this parthological liar (and he didn't even write this), are worth less than nothing. Believe his actions instead.

"Distinguishing"? "Paper tiger"?

Little t did not write this.

[–] PhilipTheBucket@quokk.au 3 points 1 day ago

Maybe not. The only scenario I can see where someone else dared to imitate his style and post a big geopolitical announcement is if he's finally admitting that he needs help with the computer, and someone else was told to type it with his approval, but I guess that is plausible.

I did go on to truthsocial.com to at least verify that it's actually a real post from his account (which it is), and all I can say is holy shit, I did not know it was this bad. This honestly looks like a parody, it is one of the worst web sites I have ever seen.

  • Long Cloudflare stall that makes me check a checkbox
  • Loading spinner
  • To load this page, the browser must repeat the previous action (click)
  • "An unexpected error occurred"
  • Loading spinner comes back (with no user input)
  • "The request was a legal request" (I dismiss this)
  • Full-screen MyPillow interstitial pops up, I dismiss it
  • For the first time we see the actual site content, most of which is an ad for cholesterol with big clogged arteries on screen
  • I start scrolling down, to encounter in this order:
  • HolisticMDJournal ad taking up whole screen, the image doesn't load though, it's just white
  • Some kind of ad for detoxifying mushrooms
  • Something pops up that is blurred content, I have no idea
  • "50% off beach sale!"
  • Trump's account reposts some gibberish from a fan of his
  • The arteries ad again
  • Then, for the very first time, it's Trump's content: A little video of him talking at the UN

How in God's name is this real life

After getting to know and fully understand...

Took him a while, huh? Now, I'm no President (which I think we can all agree is for the best), but maybe it'd have been better to get that done before wading into the situation.

Edit: Besides, we all know that's just another lie in an endless stream of lies. He still doesn't understand shit and / or cares.

Couldn’t even thank me for my attention to this matter…

Putin must have finally missed a paycheck.

At least they’re talking about something other than Epstein 🫲🎃🫱

The piss tapes, presumably, this time.
