Deliberate or just losing his mind?
My Dad had frontotemporal dementia. My sibling and I had to deal with the consequences - until we couldn’t cope, when my Dad became properly violent.
We’re looking at Trump and let me tell you, it feels eerily familiar. The confusion, remembering stuff from the past but not the present, but most importantly - and that’s one of the defining traits of frontotemporal dementia - the constant aggressivity that stems from the sufferer’s incorrect world views and beliefs being at odds with a reality that everybody keeps reminding him of, that leads him to believe everybody is against him… When it gets bad enough, the person literally assaults people who contradict him out of frustration. Ask me how I know…
We see the signs in Trump. Clear as day. And I bet everybody who’s had to deal with a parent who had dementia sees the signs too.
The difference is, our Dad wasn’t a sitting US president with a penchant for fascism and autocracy. He was a random dude and he was institutionalized before he could harm other people.
I don’t think Trump’s weird Alaska comments are because he remembered Alaska being Russia?
Probably heard about it as a kid from his similarly demented dad.
Sorry about your experience but I’ve been hearing about his mental/physical health decline since probably the day he was elected. The Trump era has been seemingly hours from over every day for the last ten years.
I’ll believe it’s over when he’s gone.
And, unfortunately, at this point I feel like MAGA is actually bigger than him.
That’s tough man. Sorry you lost your dad that way. Death of the person before the physical bodies passes is hard to handle.
Hope you and your family are okay now.
Thanks. But it’s been 22 years.
My dad had dementia. I had just started my first job states away when he got really bad. Coming home every month to find a new part of him removed. Was only 62. Went downhill quickly.
I made my wife promise me she’d assist in suicide if I ever got like that. I never want my kid or her to experience that.

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.
Trump: “order corn”
Foreign governments: “??? Not sure about that, the tariff situation being what it is”
Trump: “Sorry my bad I got confused” [deleted immediately]
But it’s also government officials not understanding what tools to use to ensure secure government communication. See also the journalist that git invited to a top secret Signal group.
This kind of communication shouldn’t happen on such public platforms. Too much can go wrong.

My friend’s mum’s first Tweet was “benedict cumberbatch”
my gran was funny like that
Who is this Lindsey that apparently has Trumps ear?

Many layers are saying so.
Layers, as in whores for the regime?
Of course she is blond, fake, completely inept, and has zero experience for the job.
Perfect for the GOP!
All of their unfounded fears of DEI unwittingly projected and put forward.
How are they so god damn stupid
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 funny thing is, that they are using mastodon for the platform (although heavily modified, iirc)
There’s no way he types like that in direct messages? Right?
Turns out he’s not playing a character, he’s exactly what he appears to be.
When people tell you who they are, believe them.
I think it is virtually certain that he types that way in direct messages
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.
Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.
probably this pam blocked him (dump is a very creepy guy) so it’s an attempt to evade.
I like that’s a screenshot of “truth” posted on litter, then screenshotted and posted on Reddit, then screenshotted and posted on Lemmy
Hey, I’ll take a 4 deep screenshot inception over some link straight to x[.]com
Such a sack of orange shit.
Release the Trump/Epstein files
God, Id always assumed the way he posts is just his persona. Imagine if all your work emails were from trump.
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.
Sure, sure… Now, about all the
Child Rape
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 !!
And just think that we all thought what a dumpster fire 2020 was. Little did we know…
Is he suggesting Pam seduce Lindsey?
I assume that’s not referring to Lady G?
I was thinking the same.
