I spent most of 2024 telling anyone who would listen that Trump was running to avoid prison, and that if elected, he would":
1). Watch a lot of TV
2). "Flood the zone" on social media
3). Play a lot of golf
4). Seek revenge
5). Enrich himself financially by squeezing MAGAts and various sketchy foreign "dignitaries"
6). Wipe out as much Obama-signed legislation as possible
So now, WaPo says hes squirting out "Truth Social" posts at a rate that's 3X higher than his first term
It's behind the paywall but this is the gist of it:
In his current term, the influencer-in-chief has left his own record for social media missives in the dust. He posts day and night.

Keep the plates spinning and hope one doesn't fall before he exits. He has no other plan. He wants attention 24/7 and the money that comes with it. If the country burns to the ground in the process, what a fucking show!
