But without the adoring crowds he won’t get out on the campaign trail. I have to imagine even his most ardent admirers are tired of his incessant and incomprehensible whining by now. His shtick depended on more energy and quick wittedness than he can muster at this point.

I don’t doubt that they’re adoring but man this is a VERY small group. Stands to reason that there are some admirers that aren’t traipsing around to see him anymore. SAD!

And there aren't 10 rows of people behind the cameras, maybe 25 people wide.

I'm guessing less than 200 in attendance.

So sad that there is zero accountability for Trump on stuff like this.


You have to wonder whether Trump even knows if he’s making this stuff up. He lies all the time about everything. Is he cognizant?

It is surprisingly more complex a series of ideas than I thought he was capable of expressing at this point. Wonder if he has a ghostwriter whose tone matches him before the more precipitous decline. It wouldn’t be hard.

It’s possible he still has stretches of lucidity. It’s not as if that screed is particularly nuanced or sophisticated; it’s just a lot more words in a row than he’s done for a while.


It is true that this is not lucid prose—but the punctuation also isn’t as erroneous as I would expect.

It is erroneous! But not AS erroneous.


It's been reported that when he was in the WH he dictated his missives to assistants, who then post them on social media. He famously does not type. So he likely has someone transcribing these messages and they post on his behalf to Truth Social. Perhaps he has a new person who is more familiar with the rules of punctuation? But someone else is proofreading and then posting for him. But Trump himself determines the content of the message.


This person he got only knows commas. TOO BAD!

But they know how to hit the caps lock key!

Back when he was president one of the times he got manic on Twitter, I loosely timed the posts and he only stopped posting for three hours one night. I can’t recall the particular date, but I doubt he had a staff member at 3 a.m. I think yesterday’s mania exceeds that record but I haven’t checked. I have no idea whether he’s still going at it. I bet he got a new target letter.

I agree (though I think someone does help him type out most of his tweets).


I think that must be among the world's worst jobs

True. To be perfectly straight with you, I don’t actually read his tweets closely. I find that absent a compelling reason to read it closely it’s just painful for no reason.
