People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

RULES:

  1. Mark NSFW content.
  2. No doxxing people.
  3. Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
  4. No international politcs
  5. Be excellent to each other.
  6. Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
  7. If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

I can't accept any screenshot of a Trump post as real unless there's a link to the original.

He really said “fuckin’” wow.

My father in law never swore in good company before having a stroke. Afterwards his “filter” was off and he swore like a sailor for any reason.

I wonder if that’s why Trump was supposedly at Walter Reed Friday?

That filter is the brain's 'frontal lobe', which is what trump's dementia is currently turning into swiss cheese.

Would there even be a point to making a fake post? He can come up with stuff that's far more unhinged than anything a compos mentis person can, and he does it on regular basis.

It seems to be real, even though it's not available anymore. There are still levels to the insanity though and with Trump it's impossible to discern reality from fiction without sources.

[–] generallynonsensical@lemmy.world 33 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It's the first post on his truth social account, which I won't link here.

It's still there.

Interesting: using a VPN in Europe I can't see the post when following a direct link to it. Probably just some stupid setup on truth social.

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Is there even a point to screenshots of tweets?

Yet you cannot dismiss it out of hand no matter how dumb it is, if he posted that he just launched nukes at the Sun in retaliation for solar flares that put out our Communications systems, one could not be entirely certain he didn't actually write that.

[–] cronenthal@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

That's exactly the problem. He didn't launch nukes at the sun, though, right?

I relate to this, but they almost always end up being real because this unfortunate reality is the one we're in :/
