I suppose it was inevitable that Trump would be let back on Twitter. But it was still something of a shock when I saw it was happening. I suppose the only thing we don’t know at the moment is if Trump will tweet something memorable and faux profound for his first tweet, or if he will just go back to his usual hate and rage without skipping a beat.
I suppose that will be answered any moment now, huh.
But bringing back Trump to Twitter is a double edged sword for everyone involved. It’s a double edged sword for Trump because he will just remind everyone why they didn’t like him to begin with. Meanwhile, it will hurt everyone else because Trump will go back to his usual asshole behavior that got him banned in the first place.
He claims that he will stay on Truth Social,but that’s a lie. He’s going to ditch that like a wife.
The big question is, of course, will he be able to control the “attention economy” like he did before from 2015 to 2021. Or has that moment passed? Is Trump a low energy political hasbeen? And the real issue is, will reality catch up in time to allow DeSantis be the 2024 Republican POTUS nominee?
That, at the moment, is something of a mystery.
We’ll see, I guess. Fuck Trump. Fuck MAGA. And fuck you if you support either one of them. Wink.
