The President of the United States everyone... Deserves to be checked into the loony bin.
You're viewing a single thread.
Do people really believe that he shares these things because he honestly believes Biden is a clone? These nonsense rage bait articles are a big part of the problem.
It's cult building.
Yeah, you've got to feed the Qultists from time to time to let them know you care about them. If you don't, they'll wander off into further, less useful conspiracy thinking.
A fraction of his followers might. It's a signal, but plausibly ambiguous. And then influencers can point fingers at each other as 'hysterical' to rake in big bucks.
And yeah, tabloid sites like thedailybeast jump on the engagement train. They can't help themselves. If they don't, well, they'll move closer to shutting down like 'boring' longwinded classical journalism that gets no engagement anymore.
Our information environment is so screwed. It baffles me that pundits, researchers, political leaders and such ponder what's going wrong when they walk to work and see every single human being doomscrolling this trash away, all while the companies hosting it become the richest on Earth.

One of those is not like the others. As long as lobbying and kickbacks are legal or no worse than a slap on the wrist, politicians are more than happy to be paid to not wonder or care why. Heck, some of them probably welcome it—the algorithms helped them get elected.

Original post not made by Trump but shared by him. Reading it, it feels more like a joke/shitpost.
Everything he (re)tweets sounds like a shitpost. Everything he says can be read as an idiotic joke, too stupid to be real. Except some times suddenly he turns around and it's deadly serious.
