Never Surrender!

Says the man who just surrendered

This is how dumb his audience is. It boggles the mind to think that this supposed billionaire playboy convicted rapist who begs for money is someone they can connect with. Trump has probably never shopped for groceries or filled up a tank of gas but he understands the plight of his base supposedly.

Does he not own trump dot com? donaldjtrump dot com is stupid. The 'j' is extra stupid. I'm surprised there isn't a hyphen in there, and that it's not a .net domain. Edit: 'dot' so it doesn't actually link.

I think the tweet was just missing punctuation.

Despite the negative, press covfefe.

See? When someone says something negative, just press the covfefe!

Yep! The plural possessive for “business”

His disciples like using the the middle initial and/or name. They also talked like to use Obama's middle name.

Pls, no more, the moron is using this as a publicity stunt :/

he and the RP already turned two branches of government into a circus, now he's trying to turn the judiciary branch into another reality show for lovers and haters to obsess about.

He's 100% in his desperate old queen era.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


On Thursday, the former president turned himself at the Fulton County jail on over a dozen charges related to his efforts to overturn Georgia’s 2020 election results.

Over the last five months, Trump has faced criminal charges in four separate cases, but the most recent booking was the first and only time his mugshot was taken.

Trump was permanently banned from the platform on January 8th, 2021, with the company citing a “risk of further incitement of violence” after his supporters stormed the US capitol.

Since then, Trump has started his own social media platform, Truth Social, and Twitter has rebranded after Elon Musk purchased the company, stating that he plans to turn it into an “everything app” called X. Trump has also announced that he’ll be running for president in 2024.

Trump first posted the image of his mugshot on Truth Social earlier Thursday evening.

Before reinstating Trump’s account last year, Musk also brought back the accounts belonging to the conservative parody outlet The Babylon Bee, comedian Kathy Griffin, and author Jordan Peterson.


The original article contains 292 words, the summary contains 174 words. Saved 40%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
