He didn't write this. This is someone trying to fix his fuck up. It just comes across as completely time deaf though, like they don't even realize they botched the exact things they're talking about

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 90 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Yeah this isn't the Donald, no mention of Biden, no ramblings, and even a slight touch of introspection which is impossible for the narcissist to accomplish.

[–] rayyy@piefed.social 22 points 2 weeks ago

Agreed. Since his stroke he is all thumb.

[–] Hathaway@lemmy.zip 21 points 2 weeks ago

And he didn’t sign it like he does all his posts.

Thank you for your attention to this matter!!

No all caps words, but still a lack of understanding of how quotes work.

Member that first term when he hired a lawyer who misspelled "predisent" in his tweets?

Nothing changes.

And yet it still sounds like the ramblings of an old man. It's brilliant.

This is rich considering the ICE raids where people with visas to be here training Americans are being snatched up and "choosing" to go home instead of deal with the bullshit.

[–] tburkhol@lemmy.world 79 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

This is as close as he's going to get to apologizing for that fuckup. His girl's got her bag packed, waiting on the Uber, and the best he can do is say he really does like her lasagna. Totally won't throw it in her face next time. Even though he used to cook much better than her.

[–] SidewaysHighways@lemmy.world 27 points 2 weeks ago

used to but forgot, but totally will be better once all knowledge has been extracted. plz stay and touch pp

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

There is 100% no way he wrote that.

“Disincentivize”?

Ghost writer.

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 40 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Charlie? Is that you?

Figured it wasn't Trump's writing, he thinks a semiconductor is some guy who yells "All aboard!" when it's time to mount a half-erect penis.

New metaphor just dropped.

Not all caps, 20 y/o staffer wrote this.

And said staffer is dumb enough to think it’s both grammatically correct and in Trumps voice at the same time.

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

They even threw an emdash in there, so it was probably written by AI

[–] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

As a former designer/typesetter/typographer, it pains me to admit that this is probably the case.

It doesn't end with "THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!!!"

Definitely a ghost writer.

[–] VeryInterestingTable@jlai.lu 8 points 2 weeks ago

Imagine needing a writer for twitter. I can understand for biographies of people who are not writers themselves. But can't you write like.. One paragrah?

Up next Elon Musk hires a ghost writter for Diablo IV to type in chat.

[–] nova_ad_vitum@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 weeks ago

This is off topic but I wonder how long it will take before we learn the identities of the people who have access to Trump's twitter account. Ever since presidents started using Twitter in office nobody really assumed they were writing posts themselves , they have comms teams for that. Trump's relationship with Twitter had always been different, and the gimmick has always been that it's his way to talk to the people without the MSM filter.

But we know at this point that he doesn't write all his own posts and we also know that he sometimes criticizes specific companies. Anyone with even 15 mins of notice about these posts going live can make easy money on the stock market. It would almost be silly if there weren't people making a killing off it.

Its illegal of course but that hasn't mattered for a while.

I don’t want to frighten off or disincentivize investment into America by outside countries or companies

Says the guy who stopped any and all US government investment into companies and countries outside America. It’s like that comic of the dog with a ball; “no take, only give”.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 65 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Yeah, trump didn't write that, no way in hell he did as he isn't capable of writing like that. A huge single paragraph without insulting someone, or bragging? Pripprr grammar and syntax? No all caps?

Nope, not him...

[–] Syltti@lemmy.world 35 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (3 children)

You didn't even mention that m-dash in there. As much as I dislike attributing m-dashes to AI, that was a dead-giveaway that Trump didn't write this.

[–] Khanzarate@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (6 children)

Right? He doesn't even know what they are, and while an Em Dash isn't a guarantee of AI, anyone who is at all concerned about people thinking their writing is AI now avoid them.

So if this isn't AI, its someone who failed to think things through. (But its AI.)

Sidenote: wouldn't be surprised at all if Em Dashes leave our human lexicon altogether, given the negative association they've received. Like spelling changes, AI might just make our writing drift away from them altogether, until AI does get exclusive use of it.

So he wants to get other countries to bring their business here but also wants the foreign experts to piss off after teaching the US citizens how to do their jobs. He also, in the same post, tells them how the US will then beat them at their own game after they need to be taught how to play because they couldn’t figure it out on their own.

I’ll rewrite it for whoever actually wrote this: “We suck, and we can’t build talent domestically. The plan is to get foreigners(who, I would like to remind everyone, we do not want here longterm) to teach us how to do things because we cannot understand it on our own. Then we will quickly become better than them somehow.”

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 22 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Also today don't forget that they threatened to defund universities, the places who teach how to make things

Edit: defund instead of refund

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (11 children)

“Defund”? Holy shit, they’re really completely fucking stupid haha.

And the best part is that we all know a tonne of people who have these views. We can pretend that these people are actually Russian spies or whatever but at some point we need to accept that Conservatives the world over genuinely are just stupid, angry, and short-sighted. It’s their entire MO.

Imagine the ghostwriter tasked with this, trying (and failing) to dumb down his post to sound like his moron boss.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 46 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

So we should invest money in the US and then teach Americans on how to take away our business from us? All while those non-American "teachers" you so dearly need can and will be snatched up by the Nazi-US GeStaPo at random in order to fulfill some quota?

Does nobody in that government even notice how stupid this sounds?

[–] Taldan@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

He's basically openly saying the US is trying to be like China when it comes to manufacturing (even though there is no possibility the US could compete due to extremely high labor costs)

Not to mention he's backpedaling from kicking out the specialized employees there to build the EV factory. American employees were going to be trained to build the EVs, but there is no need for Americans to need to learn how to build a specialized Hyundai factory. Absolutely no excuse for this other than incompetence

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 20 points 2 weeks ago

That's way too coherent, it actually makes sense, has no capital letters, and stays on topic the entire time. The trump impersonator needs to level up their game

[–] unconsequential@slrpnk.net 17 points 2 weeks ago

Absolutely zero chance in Hell Trump himself wrote that.

[–] plyth@feddit.org 13 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

No caps? Which one is the act?

CAPS LOCK is on the left side of the keyboard. So we can narrow down his recent stroke to the right side of his brain.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

He didn't write that. It's hilariously transparent when his staff is trying to write like him but can't quite dumb it down enough.

[–] fox2263@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

Well if you want to do that then you need to stop the things you’re doing contrary to that 🤣

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

"things"

"game"

Things, ya know? Thinnnnnnnnngs. And gaaaaaaaame. *eyebrow wiggle* Things and game. Nudge nudge.

This looks so fake if this was a real president with a brain. Instead this is a actual post from the bag of skin in the whitehouse.

He is such an embarassing crybaby. No other country is going to work with us and manufacturing is done in the US. He has ruined all our international relationships in less than 6 months and now is trying to gain them back by being an asshole?

Please someone, make it make sense.

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

Also, we will jail all political opponents.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 8 points 1 week ago

Why would a company send people over to teach us how to do shit only to leave later on? Also why did you let ICE go after that Hyundai plant if t his was your goal...

[–] makyo@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

I feel like someone only just explained this to him and now he feels like he’s a galaxy brain posting it
