That Truth Social seems too clean and more in line with traditional correspondence with some caps here and there. Maybe the State Department ran it through ChatGPT prompting that it be in the style of trump. In any case, I suspect this trajectory to be “malleable” as you put it. You made all good points. A couple I had forgotten (easy to do). I suspected (predicted?) that the Trump/Putin bromance would begin to fall apart. Perhaps there’s something there. Putin doesn’t want the best for the USA, which could explain some things, like his backing of trump electoral campaigns.
Could someone sit down with Trump and let him know that he knows nothing about economics and that his understanding of the US constitution is nonexistent?
Thank you for sharing the TRUTH Social media posts. I guess if you have to name the platform TRUTH, then it is like Fox News having the tag line, "fair and balanced".
Very credible journalism on your part and I appreciate the fact checking. I contend that a true leader must try and speak the truth, or at least a truth that has the potential to bring our nation together (v.s stoke divisiveness").
Gabe, I'd love to hear your thoughts on how you think Putin has handled Trump 2.0. Given their respective track records I expected Putin to easily manipulate Trump into completely bailing on Ukraine in short order, but it seems like he either hasn't tried very hard or has completely fumbled the situation.
Trump seemingly *wants* to give Russia everything it wants but Putin almost appears to talk him out of it with all of the obviously insincere cease fire talk and, at least publicly, a lack of other serious proposals. Am I missing something with the dynamic or is this mostly a case of Putin being yet another aging dictator making increasingly terrible decisions?
Oh yeah I don't expect Trump to actually do anything against Putin, but continuing to support Ukraine for now is much more than I was expecting at the start of the year. I think Trump's plan coming in was to completely hang Ukraine out to dry by cutting off support and lifting sanctions, but to do it somewhat gradually to try and avoid blame for the resulting atrocities as Ukraine got overrun.
I still think that's more likely than him ramping up support for Ukraine and sanctions on Russia, but am less confident than I had been and even continuing support for this year has bought Europe and Ukraine more time to get less dependent on the US.
Like all intelligent people, Trump reserves the right to change his mind when facts change or hypotheses prove invalid, but TDS Ragers like you then criticize him as a flip-flopper. Thus no good deed goes unpunished.
Trump has proven over and over again to be a flip-flopper on many, many important issues, without any noticeable change in the facts. It’s why his credibility is in shreds!
*peering through mirror* Why is it necessary for you to resort to personal attacks? Can you not find support for your argument or factual refutation for the argument of the person you attack? How is your attack on Mr. Beckett's ability to comprehend what he reads an argument in favor of your position?
Not only is the "praying for [someone]" not the part that I consider a personal attack, but my statement identified the part of your comment that I considered to be a personal attack -- to wit, your statement inferring that he did not have the ability to comprehend what he reads. (*scratching my head at your apparent failure to comprehend what you read*). If you still do not understand me, let me know, and I will try to better explain.
That is a mere statement of fact. I pray that the Lord will give him the gift of reading comprehension, which is obviously lacking based on his comment.
In your case, I will pray that he instills you with the gift of MYOB.
You are in denial. You don't think it’s arrogant to deny that POTUS is exponentially better informed than you are as a private citizen. I will pray that you are given the grace of self-awareness and humility.
Amazing time on proving the hypothesis that aced Oh the heck with it Tylenol causes autism
My brother, a retired physics professor, is grimacing at this complete lack of scientific process Kennedy should go back to lawyering, and Trump, to whatever he did
I found you commentary very interesting. Getting an alert when President Trump posts something on his social media account I found of interest. I rarely take Mr. Trump or his administration seriously. I found the comments thoughtful and well stated. (Hope I haven't upset anyone, just some rambling thoughts of an old hermit. )
is it malleability or is it that agreeing with whoever he was talking to last panders to the audience that's looking the hardest, bowing to our tendency to seek biased perspectives online? a lot of this 'bothism' in trumpian era politics seem to do the latter thing, please both sides by throwing each a bone
I'm not sure it was Trump who wrote that post. There are NO CAPITAL LETTERS, and the wording actually makes sense.
I believe Trump has FTD….Frontotemporal Dementia

I hope someone gives Zelensky a copy of the cartoon with Charlie Brown, Lucy & the football.

Do you think it would make a difference?
DJT will agree with anyone and everyone who does his bidding.

The most important person is the one spoke to last He has no attention span When it gets worse Putin will talk him out of it Stroke his ego
You notice Trump hasn't committed much, just a bunch of words

This is really, really well done

TY. Please keep telling the truth.

I will pray that the Lord gives you the blessing of reading comprehension.

If you consider praying for someone a personal attack, I will add you to my list of people to pray for.

He doesn't know facts and he wouldn't be able to formulate, no less prove, a hypothesis
I will pray for Him to exorcise your arrogance.
There is no arrogance here. I will ask you for proof of your statements

Your position has a lot of validity based on observable events.
Corinne. I give up. I don’t have a version that lets me download the Substack app. No replying to DM’s. I have trouble enough with FB IM
And to think I was using actual VM in 83, email in 85 and had a car phone in 86. I think you call that an early adapter
But I’m still a proud and confirmed Luddite. We need to go back to party lines, two channels and crank starters
