That is all

This post by Trump doesn’t seem to have the semi-polish of others I’ve seen from him this term. It’s inconsistent in a way I can’t quite put my finger on. Decent grammar and punctuation, I’m unnaturally curious about the composition of his posts. I also might be wrong and he might be just some Clouseau-esque fumbling master at codeswitching between highbrow and lowbrow MAGAspeak. Some seem cowritten by a Trump AI chatbot, some seem written by him but polished by someone else, some seem written by someone else with a few Trump “tells” inserted to seem authentic, and some seem written by someone else and edited by Trump. I’d love to see a stylometric analysis of his various posts, and even different sentences from the same post. This one reads like comic book fan fiction I wrote at 10 where my vocabulary and compositional skills were at odds while excitedly trying to convey my super hero ideas.

Attempt at jumping into Trump’s mind

The first sentence probably started out as
“Iran has apologized to its Middle East neighbors”
Not enough “win” in there for Trump. Let’s add surrendered
“Iran has apologized and surrendered to its Middle East neighbors“
Wait nothing about me and my doings yet. Subordinate clause to the rescue
“Iran, which is being beat to HELL, has apologized and surrendered to its Middle East neighbors.”
Still not enough “winning”, what did my mom make me promise when I was being aggressive with siblings? Oh yeah. Let’s add
“and promised that it will not (hit) shoot at them anymore.”
Now I can take credit for something that hasn’t happened. That is, Iran apologized, surrendered, and promised not to shoot at others anymore. Like what a schoolboy might say to a principal after being caught bullying. Just weird.

Sometimes I wonder if this is a nightmare - how the eff did we get here?

It’s a nightmare by any definition

It really does sound like him, himself,
not somebody polishing it up a bit.

Syntax is clumsy as if coming from two different sources. Perhaps, just Trump’s trying to smartify his schoolboy ramblings.

Like me, consider a career in forensic linguistics?

In my next lifetime, that's what I'm doing.

And oh, btw, being a college writing teacher in the age of AI (and even before that) is a great way to get practice because students so often try to foist off some paper they didn't write on the English teacher.

Most of the time the software the department provides for us does the job, but there have been nights where I stayed up until 4 a.m. tracking down sources in some kid's paper.

As an amateur internet sleuth, I spent a lot of time on the note the "kidnapper" wrote in the JonBenet Ramsey case.

I know my daughter had to send papers through plagiarism detectors. I imagine they now offer AI service to detect AI. I’ve read some fragmented papers where trying to figure out what was being said kept me up late, but felt that most of them were at least the students’ work. I like to hear how academics are dealing with the burgeoning use of AI. Good luck out there on the front lines of academia. If people are still doing forensic analysis in our next lives, I might see you at the office.

Apparently, #rump is dumb enough to believe her.

Frickin' moron.

But "changed his mind" might be a misleading description of what's going on in the pinball machine #rump's brain has become.

This is absolute insanity. Fuck this man, may he rot in hell.

The mind wobbles.

Jesus STILL ain't comin' back, rubes. Believe me! Or, not?

Jesus STILL ain't comin' back, rubes. Believe me! Or, not?

I know a war criminal orange $atan who will be the first to get thrown in a burning HELL forever!

Too bad I don't believe in any fairy tale.

This is the last place I'd come if I had supernatural powers.

there would be blazing op-eds and headlines stating that the mental health of this president is a clear and present danger to this country and the world. I will never ever understand how and why this president gets away with murder.

And it’s not. If I did not read DU or some of the other sites I read, I would not know half of what is going on with him.

I feel sorry for Miller’s parents, few fates are as awful as having your kid turn into a bloodthirsty psycho. Hegseth maybe didn’t have any parents, nor a shrink, but he damn sure has had a bartender.
How are y’all staying quiet?

"Thank you President Trump" - I wonder if they had tears in their eyes when they said it.

..."that were not considered for targeting up until this moment in time" for "complete destruction and certain death."

But what do I know? I'm one of the Democratic "warmongers."

It's nice to know the WWJD crowd is totally okay with this....

pulling out of this wasps' nest.

The stock market does it again.

The unconditional surrender Trump has referred to will be determined by Trump himself, when HE decides Iran no longer poses a threat and US objectives have been fulfilled.

That leaves a lot of wiggle room for The Decider to simply say: Okay, we're done. We've set the country afire.

Then he can turn his attention to Cuba--Make Cuba Great Again.

Of course, there's no accounting for Iran's agreement in all this. They're suppose to bow down and say "Thank you very much, Sir. Who will you choose to lead us into your Golden Age."

Utterly insane!

A very apt description!

That's why he's destroying the water supply for civilians and sinking ships. He's under the impression that he can cause enough horror to make the Irani leadership swallow their pride and take care of their people when the've been murdering protesters. Countries don't surrender to war criminals who threaten genocide, whether they're leaders are good or bad. Trump in Iran has become Putin in Ukraine.

I wonder if Trump will be allowed to travel abroad without being arrested after this.

Trump is a criminal goldmine, from treason and corruption to criminal abuse of authority and dereliction of duty to mass murder and child sexual abuse.

PS: ETA I’d add it would make a career, but am so sick of Trump I wouldn’t recommend him for study to anyone with a good mind.

Any analysis of Trump and this era would be lacking if they only analyzed Trump and his narcissism and his magical thinking.

One would also need to know something of group psychology.

There was enough evidence from the first term to know that Trump would be a disaster; yet some voted for him.

If I never knew anything about history or psychology, I would know Trump would be bad only by reading Shakespeare.

There is a lot of great psychology in Shakespeare's characters.

I am reminded of Richard III when he appears surrounded by clerics and pretends to be in "devout prayer" when he is offered the crown.
How many times has Trump surrounded himself with his religious followers.

There are about 20 to 30 excerpts from Shakespeare that could apply to Donald Trump.

Here are just three:

PAROLES
He will lie, sir, with such volubility
that you would think truth were a fool.
--Shakespeare, All’s Well That Ends Well 4.3.248-49

MENENIUS
There is no more
mercy in him than there is milk in a male tiger.
--Shakespeare, Coriolanus 5.4.28-29

PISANIO
[His] tongue
Outvenoms all the worms of Nile.
--Shakespeare, Cymbeline 3.4.34-35

Perfect

Nailed it way back then. AND now, too.

Today I feel nothing but shame.

You'd get better responses by asking a
"Magic 8 ball".

Humiliation and abuse is what turns him on. Someone should bite the shit of his...um...ego.
