And the clown keeps going...

He's flip flopping and contradicting himself in one tweet. Are they "begging" or not "being serious"? We are nearing the point of maximum flip flop entropy. Soon he will put out a tweet where each word contradicts the last and moment later he will reach a point of perfect balance between flip and flop. Many people thought that it would be Macron who would reach the state of flip flop perfection first but trump's acceleration has been quite impressive as of late. I believe what we are about to witness is the Western Liberal Democratic Politician's version of Nirvana.
Imagine twitter being around in world war 2 and having Stalin shit talk Hitler online
I have a theory that shit talking only happens because of social media, not the other way around.
People with large groups of followers are able to gain more clout and more attention by shit talking. Smaller personalities then mimic them.
Iโm looking at the Stalin archives, and they are very respectful in the way they communicate.
Imagine these Truthsocial and X posts analysed as sources in future school textbooks.
It's going to be used to teach people how fucking stupid Americans were.
I know this is probably the least of our concerns but I wonder if he doesn't understand how to use quotation marks.
The way he uses it here would at surface level gives the impression that he does not really think the Iranians are "strange" or "begging" but I wonder if he just using as emphasis where italics, for example, would have been more appropriate.
But then again he did say before "so called "straight" [of Hormus]" in quotations (and spelt incorrectly) implying he is not sure why it is called a strait because it is not straight and does not know the difference at the time between straight and strait.
And then on the otherside we have battle hardened polylingual leaders with advanced degrees in philosophy and mathematics while British radio journalists trying to be condescending to Iranians for daring to fight and speak out against imperialism.
Using quotation marks for emphasis is in-style for boomers on facebook, so you're probably right. Also using them for scare quotes, sometimes in the same sentence, adds to the charm.
Trump's mastery of the English Language is on par with that of a dog's.
This is manufacturing consent. Some people exclusively rely on him for news
This gives the impression that he knows HE is the one who is fucked. But then again, he has a history of always seemingly living outside of reality. Maybe he truly believes his own words.
It seems that his generals might be lying to him about how the war is going, so he might actually believe at lest part of this.
In a scenario where he's completely truthful, that means that the USA delivered their conditions. Iran accepted those conditions. And then the USA withdrew from their own proposal, and now Iran is doing what? Calling every 5 minutes with new concessions? Is it a 150-point treaty now?
No you see the Trunp logic sequence is:
