4. Conspiracy theories about Michele Obama
Tue Dec 2, 2025, 11:29 AM
6 hrs ago

For one.

Key subjects of the posts included:
Attacks on Political Opponents: He called for the imprisonment of Democratic Rep. Nancy Pelosi and Sen. Adam Schiff, repeating allegations of wrongdoing against them.
Conspiracy Theories: The posts featured various conspiracy theories, including an AI-generated video depicting Barack Obama's arrest and imprisonment.
Self-Praise: Trump reposted messages that complimented him and his administration.
Attacks on Media Outlets: He criticized news organizations, including The Wall Street Journal, over stories he claimed were untruthful.
Policy Claims: Posts referenced his administration's policies, such as claims about falling drug prices and the closing of Venezuelan airspace to drug traffickers.
The intense volume and nature of the posts, which included dozens of reshares, fueled debate about his stamina and mental fitness.

Michelle Obama is loved, admired, respected, and highly popular.
Going after her serves no purpose and will only hurt him.

No online search for that text finds it, it doesn't show up anywhere on Twitter, where some folks mirror his Truth Social posts, and folks are reposting genuine screenshots of his rantings and reposts, which are bad enough:









I'll break my habit of not posting tweets on DU nowadays as I can't find this elsewhere:

President Trump has posted hundreds of times in the last two hours.

Here is a screen recording of the posts.

The video is nearly five minutes long.

The only screenshot of it I can find on Twitter is from that same account, MP Arizona. He doesn't seem to make a habit of posting spoofs, but is generally anti-Trump. Either he got taken in himself, he knows it's a fake but what the hell, or he generated it himself - in which case, bravo!

Said to snort it instead of taking it in pill form as prescribed.

was eye popping in terms of the strong psych meds being used.

This is very dangerous for Trump. At his age with his health risks, they could kill him.

And we know what he is doing with the date rape drugs.

he is becoming more and more desperate, which makes him more and more dangerous.

I'm thinking, and this is just my opinion, the next few weeks/months are going to see him get so bad that even the repigs in Congress are finally going to take some action against him, it's already started, but it's only going to get worse for him and his toadies.

Tue Dec 2, 2025, 11:48 AM

I'm guessing the latest polling has somehow broken through his dense skull and defences and is freaking him out. His hold on the Republican Party is slipping and reps are bailing. Name me a success he's had recently, even in his own terms. He sees threats from potential lawsuits and the payback for his past behaviour, which he's always been able to more or less avoid in the past, but the walls are closing in.

So he's trying to keep hold of and rally his base, because even some among it are growing disillusioned, and the only way he knows to do that is to try to feed it (not physically, of course) and fling shite at any hate figures he can dream up and that he can't shake from living in his brownfield head rent-free. It seems to have worked for him in the past, and he has nothing else at all to fall back on.

He's not familiar with the concept of less is more, has no functioning filters, is evidently gaga, and has no one around him who dares to gently or firmly remove his phone from his tiny paws and encourage him to go do something, ANYTHING else.

He’s loony-ing. Sort of like sundowners, but worse.

I take it as more proof that the bulk of his Gaslight Social posts are written by someones else (autopuke) or less likely he had written them previously and had them on a timer. Hoping that the outburst would be noticed and become a news item. Which, alas, it has.

Tsf shouldn't be given internet access either. He doesn't belong in the White House! You'd think the Republicans who continue to enable him in Congess would realize it's not only Democrats who will suffer the consequences of his instability. He's putting us all in jeopardy. I get power and money are important to them, but as the saying goes, "you can't take it with you."

They need to put the pressure on someone to invoke the 25th ammendment.

Tue Dec 2, 2025, 05:04 PM

It seems most of last nights’ post were reposts (I’m having a hard time finding many without social media), so my thoughts are on his posts in general. Whenever I’ve seen a post by Trump this term, especially longer ones, I have sensed another voice. Cheung?Scavino? Miller? Someone else? AI? All of the above? Sometimes they read like somewhat intelligible right wing screed with an attempt to Trump it up with a few weirdly placed uppercase letters and Trumpian insults or self aggrandizement. Sometimes they read like Trump has an editor. But, recently I’ve noticed some that read like a kid using AI to flesh out a point they’re trying to make. At least, I hope it’s AI, because some seem too strange to be human edits but also too carefully worded to be Trump himself.
