He didn't write this. This is someone trying to fix his fuck up. It just comes across as completely time deaf though, like they don't even realize they botched the exact things they're talking about

    Yeah this isn't the Donald, no mention of Biden, no ramblings, and even a slight touch of introspection which is impossible for the narcissist to accomplish.

    No all caps words, but still a lack of understanding of how quotes work.

    Member that first term when he hired a lawyer who misspelled "predisent" in his tweets?

    Nothing changes.

    That's bad enough that I don't even know what word it was trying to be. President? Precedent? Prescient? Maybe it was clear from the original xcretion context, but without it, who the fuck knows?

    It was supposed to be president. This was his personal lawyer for like five minutes who I'm sure didn't get paid anything but was doing it for the exposure anyway.

    I don't remember what that was about though. I know it was 2017-y.

    This is rich considering the ICE raids where people with visas to be here training Americans are being snatched up and "choosing" to go home instead of deal with the bullshit.

    This is as close as he's going to get to apologizing for that fuckup. His girl's got her bag packed, waiting on the Uber, and the best he can do is say he really does like her lasagna. Totally won't throw it in her face next time. Even though he used to cook much better than her.

    Not all caps, 20 y/o staffer wrote this.

    And said staffer is dumb enough to think it’s both grammatically correct and in Trumps voice at the same time.

    They even threw an emdash in there, so it was probably written by AI

    This is off topic but I wonder how long it will take before we learn the identities of the people who have access to Trump's twitter account. Ever since presidents started using Twitter in office nobody really assumed they were writing posts themselves , they have comms teams for that. Trump's relationship with Twitter had always been different, and the gimmick has always been that it's his way to talk to the people without the MSM filter.

    But we know at this point that he doesn't write all his own posts and we also know that he sometimes criticizes specific companies. Anyone with even 15 mins of notice about these posts going live can make easy money on the stock market. It would almost be silly if there weren't people making a killing off it.

    Its illegal of course but that hasn't mattered for a while.

    Imagine needing a writer for twitter. I can understand for biographies of people who are not writers themselves. But can't you write like.. One paragrah?

    I don’t want to frighten off or disincentivize investment into America by outside countries or companies

    Says the guy who stopped any and all US government investment into companies and countries outside America. It’s like that comic of the dog with a ball; “no take, only give”.

    Yeah, trump didn't write that, no way in hell he did as he isn't capable of writing like that. A huge single paragraph without insulting someone, or bragging? Pripprr grammar and syntax? No all caps?

    Nope, not him...

    You didn't even mention that m-dash in there. As much as I dislike attributing m-dashes to AI, that was a dead-giveaway that Trump didn't write this.

    Right? He doesn't even know what they are, and while an Em Dash isn't a guarantee of AI, anyone who is at all concerned about people thinking their writing is AI now avoid them.

    So if this isn't AI, its someone who failed to think things through. (But its AI.)

    Sidenote: wouldn't be surprised at all if Em Dashes leave our human lexicon altogether, given the negative association they've received. Like spelling changes, AI might just make our writing drift away from them altogether, until AI does get exclusive use of it.

    Definitely it's best attempt to match Donald trump.

    Well, its best given the shitty prompt I'm sure it was given. "Be Donald trump, but make sure you're understandable and don't start unnecessary fights", or something like that.

    I use em dashes more—as much as I can justify—because the hubbub made me think about them.

    "Trump" is definitely AI here though.

  • I genuinely was not really aware of em-dashes before all this -- I just used hyphens and semi-colons in pretty much the same way. Now I use em-dashes because it's so easy to do and I don't want to look like a rube, but now I wonder if people think I'm AI.

    Fortunately, nobody online really gives a fuck about me or anyone else.

    So he wants to get other countries to bring their business here but also wants the foreign experts to piss off after teaching the US citizens how to do their jobs. He also, in the same post, tells them how the US will then beat them at their own game after they need to be taught how to play because they couldn’t figure it out on their own.

    I’ll rewrite it for whoever actually wrote this: “We suck, and we can’t build talent domestically. The plan is to get foreigners(who, I would like to remind everyone, we do not want here longterm) to teach us how to do things because we cannot understand it on our own. Then we will quickly become better than them somehow.”

    Also today don't forget that they threatened to defund universities, the places who teach how to make things

    Edit: defund instead of refund

    “Defund”? Holy shit, they’re really completely fucking stupid haha.

    And the best part is that we all know a tonne of people who have these views. We can pretend that these people are actually Russian spies or whatever but at some point we need to accept that Conservatives the world over genuinely are just stupid, angry, and short-sighted. It’s their entire MO.

    It's worse than this. We will steal your technology and cut you out of your business with our totally not idiocracy workforce, that must swear loyalty to the king to have their jobs. So fuck your business and trust in that our idiocracy will make your US operations execute as you hope.

    So we should invest money in the US and then teach Americans on how to take away our business from us? All while those non-American "teachers" you so dearly need can and will be snatched up by the Nazi-US GeStaPo at random in order to fulfill some quota?

    Does nobody in that government even notice how stupid this sounds?

    He's basically openly saying the US is trying to be like China when it comes to manufacturing (even though there is no possibility the US could compete due to extremely high labor costs)

    Not to mention he's backpedaling from kicking out the specialized employees there to build the EV factory. American employees were going to be trained to build the EVs, but there is no need for Americans to need to learn how to build a specialized Hyundai factory. Absolutely no excuse for this other than incompetence

    High labor costs and environmental regulations ... both of which MAGA is speed-racing getting rid of. If we actually end up being able to compete with China again in manufacturing, we'll be (even more) utterly fucked (than we already are).

  • This looks so fake if this was a real president with a brain. Instead this is a actual post from the bag of skin in the whitehouse.

    He is such an embarassing crybaby. No other country is going to work with us and manufacturing is done in the US. He has ruined all our international relationships in less than 6 months and now is trying to gain them back by being an asshole?

    Please someone, make it make sense.
