Guarentee you he gets a ghost twitter writer who just says what trump WOULD say. Doesn't even need communication with him. Just send general hate speech out into the base, and rile them up. Then when he gets out, act like he had people on the inside with him, helping him out, because they believed in his cause.
The news will pick up that it's not him when the jail itself investigates how he's tweeting, and watch him in real time as new tweets show up.
Doesn't matter.
He just will say those are lies, and it really was him. His base will eat it up.
We live in stupid times.
The thing is that no matter who they pick as a ghost writer... it's going to be noticeably too coherent or thought out to really be him. His base won't buy it as easily.
My guy. There's another thread somewhere on Lemmy I saw earlier where trump is claiming he NEVER said "lock her up". And his base is buying into it.
I think you're making the mistake of thinking his base is using logic, and fact checking, and critical thinking.
Because yes, there is a chance that a ghost writers style might be a bit off. And yes, if that were the case, people would notice.
But......I kinda covered the concept of the hoax being discovered in my original post. Being called out on their shit is something they plan for, because it's inevitable. Their response in turn has been to plug their fingers in their ears, and sing LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA.
Them buying into the idea of it being trump all along, is kind of like a 16 year old boy, still buying into santa claus because his logic is if he stops believing he gets less gifts. So santa IS real. He came down the chimney. He eats roughly 487,267,738 calories worth of cookies in a year. He uses flightless animals to fly his sleigh, and he somehow gets into apartment buildings with no chimney. Its just easy to understand facts is what that is.
That is how his base buys into him. The ONE TIME trump ISN'T lying, is when he says he could walk into central park, and just start killing people in broad daylight, and not lose any supporters. He's telling the truth there. Weird thing to pick to start telling the truth with, but he's not wrong. It's ironic that the donkey represents the democrat party, because he's the real ass here!
Fuuuuuuuck you’re right my dude. I do wonder if it Mein Kampf moment in a lot ways. We live in 1984 right now with how it feels
Man.......I've been seeing SO many paralells between hitler and trump. Hitler is still by far the worse of the two. But it really does feel like he's just using hitlers playbook. Which..........kind of gives us a glimpse into his fantasy.
