I can't access his profile to share the link since his stupid site (truth social) requires you to pay up to read tweets like this. Very cool and totally not a grift on a national level!

This doesn't make sense. Why would he write or speak like this? How does this benefit him at all? Do his supporters like it when he's viewed as an idiot by the whole world?

It would've made sense if he talked like Elon Musk, who just pretends to know it all, but he just acts bat shit insane for no reason.

His brain is cooked and continues to cook further

Everyone seems to forget that Trump was only slightly better than Biden in those debates

Noncompete suggested that it's a loyalty test, to see how many of his supporters will parrot his blatant lies.

Zhao Gao was contemplating treason but was afraid the other officials would not heed his commands, so he decided to test them first. He brought a deer and presented it to the Second Emperor but called it a horse. The Second Emperor laughed and said, "Is the chancellor perhaps mistaken, calling a deer a horse?" Then the emperor questioned those around him. Some remained silent, while some, hoping to ingratiate themselves with Zhao Gao, said it was a horse, and others said it was a deer. Zhao Gao secretly arranged for all those who said it was a deer to be brought before the law and had them executed instantly. Thereafter the officials were all terrified of Zhao Gao. Zhao Gao gained military power as a result of that.

Gish gallop is a rhetorical tactic that only works with high school debate teams and right-wingers. If his post was just a short denial of being associated with Epstein or a short statement telling people to stop talking about Epstein, it would be very easy to people to refute just by posting pictures he took with Epstein. The narrative would be very simple: "Don't investigate my paedophilia."

When it's phrased this way, he's calling in so many conspiracy theories and irrelevant issues that you can't choose one thing to respond to unless you're literate enough to understand subtext. His defenders now have X number of reasons to rally behind him during a moment that looks really bad for his administration. Those things are each loyalty tests which confirm the legitimacy of everything else mentioned. If you pick one to respond to his supporters will just throw all of the others at you like pepe-silvia insisting you don't see the bigger picture of everything being true+false. His audience can't separate those things into separate issues while his critics don't have the time to respond to all of it and parse the nonsense.

Is he trying to syncretize OG trump tweets with Qanon drops?
