What exactly are you trying to prove with these 7 and 8 year old tweets?

That’s he’s been crazy and a weirdo for a long time

Are you trying to say we are caught on a timeloop?

I think in recent days it’s been especially pronounced though. He has become progressively more unhinged over time, starting from when he announced his candidacy.

If so, when was the DonBarr point in the timeline that caused the singularity?
― She Thinks I Will Dare (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 9 October 2020 17:05 (five years ago)
Yeah we should definitely minimize his current depths of batshit by normalizing it and shrugging it off as, "he's always been this way". That is super helpful.

I have been on the record from Day One as saying this guy should definitely not be President of the United States

I think we all know that but are confused why you're sharing all these old tweets

Um, congrats? I'm sure you were literally the only person with such a stunning insight.

to think we could have had Jeff Probst, Marc Summers, or Regis Philbin

It’s been not just bad but dangerous from the start to have an such an unhinged, dishonest, malevolent person in the white house. Amazing more people haven’t been killed.
― treeship., Friday, 9 October 2020 17:15 (five years ago)
i think the only reason more people haven't been killed is because of the incompetence.

honestly the morning after election day that was my main thought - "how is this going to work? is an entire political party, 63 million people, and everyone in charge of our government & military just going to pretend this guy isn't a lunatic with the intelligence and temperament of a 1st grader?"
― frogbs, Friday, 9 October 2020 17:19 (five years ago)
also the right-wing extremists, while armed to the teeth, have sort of been gutted by a lack of structure / experience with on-the-ground strategy. these people have no skills at all. it's all symbolic. (outside of police departments of course)
― Give me a Chad Smith-type feel (map), Friday, 9 October 2020 17:20 (five years ago)
Frothing at the mouth demanding his past political opponents be arrested for vague reasons, ramblings of conspiracy. It’s so far beyond being OK it’s still unbelievable.

Claiming he has the cure for covid

The president’s phone interviews were his first time answering questions since he was infected with the virus and flown to the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where he stayed for three nights. He said he was no longer taking the experimental drugs used to treat the virus, but he added that he was still taking a steroid that doctors say can produce bursts of energy, euphoria and even a sense of invulnerability.“I felt pretty lousy,” Mr. Trump said. But, he added, “I’m back because I’m a perfect physical specimen and I’m extremely young.”

btw, is/was he on that Limbaugh thing today live or prerecorded?
― longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Friday, 9 October 2020 17:22 (five years ago)
sadly, this is maybe the one time where if he pulled a mea culpa and said that he's been acting crazy since just before the debate, a lot of people would probably say "ok" and move on. for once he's got sort of an excuse for his behavior, but he's painted himself into such a corner that it's an impossible option for him to take
― president of my cat (Karl Malone), Friday, 9 October 2020 17:22 (five years ago)
like it just still blows my mind that the US Government has wasted tens of millions of dollars on shit like building a wall between us and Mexico & forming a "voter fraud commission" solely because the dumbest man to ever hold elected office said something that made people clap, once. imagine all the good things we could have done!! imagine if we had President Jeb!

Rush thing was definitely pre-recorded from what I'm seeing
― frogbs, Friday, 9 October 2020 17:23 (five years ago)
I'm not really sure why posting old Trump tweets is such a breach in decorum given the amount of time spent dissecting every dumbass thing he says on Twitter now
― shout-out to his family (DJP), Friday, 9 October 2020 17:24 (five years ago)
i think it's just confusing, every one is a potential derail if someone doesn't notice the date.
― Doctor Casino, Friday, 9 October 2020 17:25 (five years ago)
After he's dead gonna be all these lost Trump twitter cuts dropping like Tupac albums.

I don't really buy "we will be so distracted by his old instances of insanity and racism that we will miss the new instances of his insanity and racism" as an argument
― shout-out to his family (DJP), Friday, 9 October 2020 17:33 (five years ago)
I don't think that's the argument, rather that it's confusing to post previous unhinged tweets when he's in the middle of a real-time tweet shitstorm.

"I’m a perfect physical specimen and I’m extremely young" sounds like a lyric from a Megan thee Stallion deep album cut

I think pointing out that the substance of his tweets is materially unchanged from years of nonsensical pontificating and the main difference is he's now sick and might drop over dead at any moment is 100% reasonable.
Like, the past few days of this thread have featured people posting him tweeting something completely in character and saying "oh my god, look how gone he is from this virus"
― shout-out to his family (DJP), Friday, 9 October 2020 17:54 (five years ago)
all the tweets frogs posted seem less crazy than the current batch fwiw
― lag∞n, Friday, 9 October 2020 17:59 (five years ago)
still my all-time favorite crazy tweet of his. every day I look at this crazy tweet

That tweet isn’t “crazy,” just dumb and (probably intentionally) offensive

i suspect all the tweets that seem really unhinged have come during his presidency which makes sense its a stressful job lol
― lag∞n, Friday, 9 October 2020 18:05 (five years ago)
yes, he's always been fucking crazy.
but also,
Dr. Negin Hajizadeh, a pulmonary/critical care physician at Northwell Health, noted that the majority of Covid patients receiving dexamethasone are on mechanical ventilation and in a state of induced coma, so they do not exhibit any behavioral side effects. But, she said, large studies show that generally 28 to 30 percent of patients will exhibit mild to moderate psychiatric side effects like anxiety, insomnia, mania or delirium after receiving steroid treatments, and about 6 percent may develop psychosis.“When we prescribe steroids we warn our patients: ‘This may cause you to feel jittery, might cause you to feel irritable,’” Dr. Hajizadeh said. “We will tell family members, especially for our older patients, ‘This may cause insomnia, this may cause changes in eating habits and, in extreme cases, mania and impaired decision making.’”

yeah he def seems currently as unhinged as hes ever been if not more
― lag∞n, Friday, 9 October 2020 18:07 (five years ago)
he's growing
― president of my cat (Karl Malone), Friday, 9 October 2020 18:08 (five years ago)
People forget that he also ran for President in 1999, with his running mate Melania Knauss...Love this gem: On the issues, Trump labeled himself "very conservative," but described his views on healthcare as "quite liberal" and "getting much more liberal", explaining "I believe in universal health care. I believe in whatever it takes to make people well and better... It's an entitlement to this country if we're going to have a great country."
― Andy the Grasshopper, Friday, 9 October 2020 18:08 (five years ago)
that video where he opens with "guess who its me yr favorite president" was straight goofy lol
― lag∞n, Friday, 9 October 2020 18:08 (five years ago)
Okay, that Coke tweet is the first time I've ever laughed at something Trump wrote/said.

How is there not a coffee table book of his tweets yet? The yahoos would love it.
