President Trump: “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP”

1. Crazy Drunk Uncle Don posts again.

We are in deep trouble with this guy at the top. Deep, deep trouble.

[dem4decades]

2. At least he didn't say he was going to drop the FUCKING BIG ONE!

Yet.

3. Looks like someone on Bluesky confirmed that it's real, after saying it "doesn't show up" on Trump's site

4. Everybody is a smart ass until they get punched in the mouth

Please tell me this is sarcasm or satire….or whatever. Otherwise, I am going to give him credit for writing “how to win friends….”

5. Maybe Jake Tapper can mention to whichever

Trump fluffer he has on, that Joe Biden never texted stuff like this, and Joe was supposed to off his rocker, said Jake in his book.

[Ferrets are Cool]

17. Tapper neglected to mention the Allah part. Whitewashing.

Fuck Tapper.

[displacedvermoter]

18. Tapper is a Weasel!

But not a ferret!

6. Is Kegsbreath posting on POTUS

Phone. Sounds like a crazy drunk.

Congress??? Bueller????
This can’t continue. This is not how the President communicates with the world now.

There is NO WAY TO KNOW WHO IS POSTING ON HIS ACCOUNT.

Sorry to yell, but this is just chaos and it’s weakening this country every day.

10. I was thinking the same thing.

When people were saying it was proof he wasn't in critical condition.

[Maeve]

13. Either him or Miller

It doesn't sound like tsf at all, at all

[newdeal2]

7. Anybody going to stop him?

Also why is he mentioning Allah on Easter? That should piss some people off in the Middle East and MAGA.

[SheltieLover]

8. That was my first thought. It's not as if he's sensitive to cultural nuances.

[ProfessorGAC]

23. I Think It's Part Of The Threat

If they don't do what he says they'll be seeing Allah soon.
Not sure that's right but it was the first impression I had of that ending.

[Miles Archer]

9. Doing that DEMANDS a response

I'm not an expert on the Middle East and radical Islamic extremists, but from what I gather, they don't even want someone like Trump saying the NAME of Allah, let alone in this context. This stirs up the wrong crowd of people, the ones we really don't want to stir up.

11. Enough talk. Pick a lane, TACO.

12. In many ways, that Truth Social post is very uncharacteristic for Trump.

I do not think he wrote it. It sounds more like something Pete Hegseth would write.

In the first place, I do not believe that Trump would ever write "Praise be to Allah." It's just not a phrase he would be familiar with.

In the second place, I don't think he would use the word "Fuckin'" in a post. He wouldn't shorten it or use an apostrophe, either. Details, but important ones.

Beyond that, the post simply doesn't look like language he would use. I'd be willing to bet that someone else posted that in his place. Why? I don't know.

[RandomNumbers]

14. I agree ... BUT ... who knows what is going on in that thing

anatomically referred to as his 'brain'?

Most of us think he's off his rocker. Maybe a few more synapses suddenly fried and are affecting his personality this way?

[MineralMan]

15. The thing is that his recent posts have made more sense

and had fewer errors than in the past. He's not getting better at writing posts, I'm sure. So...someone else is doing his writing for him, and trying to make it look like his. But, it doesn't.

So I believe, anyhow...

[BWdem4life]

19. Would he say "you'll" instead of "you will"? I think not.

[MineralMan]

20. Not the point.

It's the use of the apostrophe to indicate the missing "g." Very few people will add that apostrophe when writing down the contraction, "fuckin"

Trump is not a good writer or typist, and autocorrect will not suggest it.

[Rebl2]

16. Really

Nice message for Easter. Joe Biden would never have put out a message like that on Easter or any other day.
Wonder if Trump is attending church this Easter morning. I will wait for pictures of him come out of church, he’s such a devout Christian and church attendee.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

21. trump is not well

I saw this circulating and assumed (hoped?) that it was fake. Alas, it’s real.

Not only does it reflect a rapidly unraveling president, it comes just days after he expressed indifference to the Strait of Hormuz during his WH address. (“We don’t need it. We haven’t needed it, and we don’t need it”)
