Well—to be fair, it was this way with Kim Jong Un in 2019 as well. Trumpian rage until he met him, tweets about him like any enemy, then "ZOMG he's tough and charming and I'm his biggest fan."

Hey Tillis—DHS is now mocking you with 4chan gigachad memes. You should have opposed these thugs when your role in the party still mattered.

"They’re sovereign nations, sovereign people, and it’s just so offensive to see that the administration isn’t interested in understanding what’s causing this epidemic of violence."
Counting the days until the admin replies to these real people's hurt with a "cry more" and this screencap of Cartman.

Here's another example—1950s—with both 16-year-old Jughead explicitly described as a "grown man" by a cop and the selfsame cop showing interest in the passing Cheryl, also Jughead's age.

In pre-1970s media, 16-year-olds are routinely portrayed as both fair game for relationships with adults, and empowered to fairly seek out/initiate such relationships themselves.

They think they've gotten away with all manner of atrocities and obnoxiousness thus far, so they must be immortal?
(Note that that was obviously Trump's attitude in 2016, and events appeared to prove him right, even if I'd argue it was dumb luck and media complicity more than anything else.)

Do you get it now, @geoffgarin.bsky.social? Do you realize that by *leading* the centrist charge against Harris' insanely successful first two months, by pushing Harris to muzzle Walz, embrace Cheney, and fix what wasn't broken, you may have *singlehandedly* won it for Trump?

The literal shitpost was created not by a troll in DJT's cabinet but by a random Trump geek, here seen on X being boosted by fellow geeks.
Thus, like DJT's other most embarrassing tweets, this wasn't part of any strategy—just sundowning grandpa 12-year-old retweeting whatever seemed cool.

Here's one of the most reliable polls, covering white folks in Kentucky (whom I'm simply assuming are the most likely to support Trump there). Support is solid, but not actually better than at the start of the year; maybe a little worse.

Here's how his approval has changed, according to Civiqs—who work with Atlantic, NPR, etc.
Their Trump approval meter is updated daily and shows a slow slide from 45 to 40 since inauguration.
Compare with support for abolishing ICE: from Jan to Jul, 25% role to 39%, then held firm. Will Oct move it?

I argued last year at Twitter that Netanyahu's ulterior motive in Gaza wasn't even to destroy Gazans (as viciously as he does so), but to create an ongoing crisis with which to help Trump, first to get elected and then to consolidate power.

Except—the money motive existed in the 1950s, too. Here was President Lyndon Johnson's famous quote about it. I think we've long known that rich folks used race to divide poor people and rob them more easily.
I think MAGA is something new, with bigotry being prioritized far *ahead* of making money.

We're at a new place after DJT's and Bondi's meeting this week with a gang of actual neo-Nazis and 4ch*n trolls—like P*sobiec, B*nny J*hnson, and this guy, who is being mocked across the internet but who is also clearly just days from siccing Bondi's FBI on anyone who's ever looked at him funny.

No; people think he'll k*ll them if he's NOT nice to them. This was the fire at the home of a judge who ruled against him a couple of days ago.
After initially suggesting arson, authorities seem to have ruled it out—but random Trumpist extremists are already using the imagery to threaten others.

It's astonishing how many self-perceived serious people were played like fiddles by disinformation that can be traced straight to R*fo, who openly admits his bad faith.
