It's simply fucking amazing that anyone could be up against Twitter (excuse me, Xitter) and still fail this bad.

Despite him having been the star of a different 2000s reality show, Trump truly is The Biggest Loser.
He bankrupted a casino. I'm not surprised!
More than one.
Here's the deal, I think that was on purpose.
He bankrupted 3 casinos and a number of other businesses at the same time.
The banks couldn't simply seize the properties so they paid him to keep those businesses running until they could be, which meant Trump, by bankrupting businesses, was being paid tens of millions of dollars a year by the banks he owed money to. The longer he kept going bankrupt, the longer they kept paying him.
He drew loans on those businesses he was never realistically going to be able to pay back, he lied to regulators about it. The plan was for the casinos to fail. It always was.
It's there evidence for any of this?
I still don't understand the logic of this. Tens of millions of dollars a year is a lot of money, but so is the profits from running three casinos.
Wouldn't running the casinos well be more profitable in the long term? And generally more sensible unless the goal is specifically to hurt the banks?
THREE!!!!
He bankrupted THREE casinos.
That's all he has ever done. Born into wealth by the work of his mother. Like Musk and his father. When you're that rich, you can fail your entire life and still be rich.
If people just understood this more broadly, the misplaced respect for them wouldn't exist.
Wow, that's actually pretty impressive.
It's just redundancy. Xitter already captured the right wing/fashy crowd as its target audience, Truth Social is basically just the same thing with a smaller audience. Why use both? ...Or either, if you're a reasonable person.
Like most things with fascists, it's a show of loyalty. Sure, it's not dressing up in Hugo Boss and marching through the streets, but for 2024, 'Oh, I use Truth Social' is more or less the same kind of indicator.
Honestly, I think that's part of their problem. That Twitter is edging into their territory.
User drop suggests ‘rejection of harsh rhetoric’ spewed by the former US president, rightwing media analyst says
They are sick of how it is being said, not necessarily what is being said.
I'm assuming it's a defense mechanism. If they see what trump posts unfiltered they might accidentally interpret it exactly how it sounds. If they don't read it right away, they give the propagandists time to fluff it up a bit so it's easier for them to swallow.
This. Conservatives want their politicians saying immigrants are hurting american jobs. Saying immigrants are "vermin poisoning the blood of the nation" is a bit too mask off/hood on for most.
Nuance for the win!
I imagine the degree to which xitter has shifted to the right and the rate that they're introducing features to make it easier than ever to be a shitheel is splitting the audience's time. People can only type messages about being cut off by their friends and family so fast.
Somebody (cough SEC) may want to watch the share price before and after the lockdown expiration period.
Has the supreme court stripped the SEC of its powers yet (unconstitutional!)? Did it ever have any, besides slap-on-the-wrist fines? Garbage like DJT couldn't even exist if we had halfway decent regulations.
Is it because they're dying? I mean a lot of them are pretty old.
A lot of them are too old to understand how to use Truth Social in the first place.
Yeah I was going to say that this is either from Americans dying of the new covid strain/being really old or Russians being sent to Ukraine. That is what's shrinking his followers. They're not getting less racist.
It's the guy from death note just writting down usernames one after the other
His supporters have returned to X instead.
Oh no!
Buy low get rekt!
Lol
I think they mean second best
