(709 posts)This post by Trump doesnt seem to have the semi-polish of others Ive seen from him this term. Its inconsistent in a way I cant quite put my finger on. Decent grammar and punctuation, Im unnaturally curious about the composition of his posts. I also might be wrong and he might be just some Clouseau-esque fumbling master at codeswitching between highbrow and lowbrow MAGAspeak. Some seem cowritten by a Trump AI chatbot, some seem written by him but polished by someone else, some seem written by someone else with a few Trump tells inserted to seem authentic, and some seem written by someone else and edited by Trump. Id love to see a stylometric analysis of his various posts, and even different sentences from the same post. This one reads like comic book fan fiction I wrote at 10 where my vocabulary and compositional skills were at odds while excitedly trying to convey my super hero ideas.
Attempt at jumping into Trumps mind
The first sentence probably started out as
Iran has apologized to its Middle East neighbors
Not enough win in there for Trump. Lets add surrendered
Iran has apologized and surrendered to its Middle East neighbors
Wait nothing about me and my doings yet. Subordinate clause to the rescue
Iran, which is being beat to HELL, has apologized and surrendered to its Middle East neighbors.
Still not enough winning, what did my mom make me promise when I was being aggressive with siblings? Oh yeah. Lets add
and promised that it will not (hit) shoot at them anymore.
Now I can take credit for something that hasnt happened. That is, Iran apologized, surrendered, and promised not to shoot at others anymore. Like what a schoolboy might say to a principal after being caught bullying. Just weird.
