    This does not appear to be real. He did have a similar truth social post:

    Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP

    The posted image doesnt exist at the date shown in the picture. Its effectively misinformation as its similar to but not actually a thing he posted

    Someone posted this archive tool, this link is to the 100 items per page view, you can scroll past the date in the photo and the post doesnt exist: https://www.trumpstruth.org/?per_page=100

        That may be fair I don’t fully understand the reap one- is the point that hes gonna bomb their power plants and bridges? The fake one suggests hes going to nuke them…

        Its not really satire if its almost exactly what he said but slightly worse, theres not really a joke or commentary and it does succeed at being misleading, I feel like its fair to describe it as misinformation. Its just an exaggeration of how bad what he said is.

        There are people in this tread litterally claiming its true because there are sources that substantiate him saying something very similar.

        *Edited for clarity that I feel its fair to call this misinformation

          As in, you can go read Trump’s actual post yourself.

          I don’t like this shitpost. It is too close to reality, so it effectively becomes misinformation, doesn’t add anything to the world.

      I couldn’t agree more, especially since, for anyone not from the US, even the most moderate White House posts are so utterly absurd that these days it’s really hard to tell the difference between satire and real-life clown show.

      I can assure you that everyone is trying their best to adjust somehow, but it’s really hard given this level of absurdity.

        I don’t follow US politics very closely, but the other day I saw the official whitehouse twitter account posted footage of them bombing someone, with wii sports ‘nice shot’ shit over the top.
        These cunts have no concept of remorse, they’re having fun and joking around.
        Seeing that shit doesn’t make anyone respect them, it makes us wish somebody did the same thing back to them.

    I hope he drops dead on stage with cameras rolling and he’s unable to be resuscitated. That shit will play everywhere.

      Do you think resuscitating him would go well (it mostly doesn’t anyway)? So don’t dismiss that option.

        Lumpty Trumpty has to die the most embarrassing way to avoid being a martyr. Cause you are right, before Lumpty Trumpty’s body has hit the floor; conspiracy theories and martyring will be happening.

        Not sure why you got downvotes, that’s exactly what his followers would think.

        I saw a video of a young girl in the middle easyt conflict who’s mom had died. Her response when asked if she was sad about her parents being dead, was less emotion about loss and her words were I’m glad she was martyred, I hope someday I get to do the same. That’s what MAGA will be like.

          A geriatric publicly dying of natural causes is a pretty different scenario than a girl whose parents were killed.

          They’ll try to martyr him, but it won’t be as effective as it would be if he was killed.

          I’m reminded of an exchange in an old TV show:

          Well take this for what little it will profit you. As I look at you ambassador Mollari, I see a great hand reaching out of the stars. The hand is your hand. And I hear sounds. The sounds of billions of people calling your name."

          “My followers?”

          “Your victims.”

      Conspiracy brain thinks of a few reasons:

      1. To preemptively establish what “real crazy” looks like so that we tolerate what he’s actually saying and doing more

      2. To muddy the lines between fake and real so that everyone is too confused to fact check anything

      3. Garden variety people being stupid and wanting to exaggerate something because exaggeration=funny, and they’re not aware of the harm this does

      4. To bait the left into accepting the same sort of “the fact that this is believable (to me) PROVES that this is valid possibility and worldview” mentality that the right adopted a decade ago, which ultimately makes people much easier to manipulate

      5. To position the left as yet another entity that promotes its views via misleading “jokes” that on the one hand legitimately misinform people, but when called out can be defended as “just a joke that you were too stupid to recognize” - that is, borrowing another successful but evil strategy that the right has recently made use of

        To be honest, i ment it as a rethorical question. But this is so cool.

        I think this particular post is in category 3, as most of these are likely not made with malicious intent, but i might be naive…

      Yeah it makes no sense; he literally posted something as bad as this:

      Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP"

        That’s something funny to be honest. I understand that it’s supposed to be that way, but I picture him being jumping angry like some toddler and screaming this out red faced and I can’t get that out of my head. I think he’s really loosing his marbles because he can’t get out of that stupid war he started and he’s been realizing now that it was a mistake and he doesn’t have anyone to blame for it.

    Did he really do a follow up to his Easter day tweet? This man is losing marbles at an astounding pace.
