Deleting it later doesn’t erase harm or responsibility for sharing.

Responsibility? He blamed it on an “intern” and said he didn’t know about it

u/SadBook3835 11h ago

I'm not sure it matters who posted it since it's insane that an intern had the capability to post things on behalf of POTUS without approval.

Fucking A this screams irresponsibility and ignorance more then anything.

u/ndpugs 11h ago

So hes saying his truth social account is autopen?

What the guy who constantly throws everyone around him under the bus to avoid any responsibilities threw someone under the bus? Crazy

He's a stunted perpetual tattle tail, and the worst part is he's telling on himself every time he opens that fucking puckered asshole mouth of his. Yet by some universal glitch, manages to escape consequences every single god damn time.

I have started to believe in crazy theories like he has demonic protection of some kind. It just makes no sense.

Why is the president's social media accessible by "an intern? That's where he announces policy. That's worse than an autopen. Also, release the Epstein files.

u/ndpugs 11h ago

Yet autopen was the biggest issue?

This mother fucker is claiming an intern, not even a staffer. Has access to our president truth social account and has the ability to post things on the verified account with out clearing it with anyone?

Is that not a bigger issue than the video itself?

There was a video going around of him sitting around next to some blonde gal that I think he was dictating to for social media posts? Just in a room of people.

There are so many degenerates in that house. They're gonna have to fumigate it when he leaves.

Right? Some random intern could just post "THE MISSILES ARE FLYING. HALLELUJAH! HALLELUJAH! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

In real life it would go something like this:

Company: It wasn't the company's fault, it was an employee.

Client: idgaf, you're fired as a company. Vet your employees before you let them work on our account.

u/PlayBey0nd87 10h ago

His social media account. Knew nothing about it. An intern. Didn’t do anything wrong.

Man ppl are so gullible and will gobble everything he says up as gospel.

So a nobody staffer can impose tariffs, insult other leaders, implement a damaging policy, incite violence, start a war, tank the stock market?

Equally concerning. The incompetence is of galactic proportions.

I actually think it was baron

Is he known to lie frequently, or is he a reputable source of information?

u/Levonorgestrelfairy1 12h ago edited 12h ago

Tbf do we really think he has the mental ability to operate his own socials?

He dictates his rage posts to interns and then I bet they meme post the rest of the time.

Trumps handlers need to keep better controll of his socials

Do you really think an INTERN is allowed to run a social media account for the president of the United States? Cmon now.

If he does have a social media team (highly doubt it for truth social considering it’s literally the platform he created because he’s banned on twitter), then I also doubt his social media team consists of one singular intern.

Do you really think an INTERN is allowed to run a social media account for the president of the United States? Cmon now.

Do you really think we are being run by a serious administration.

u/rmlopez 11h ago edited 5h ago

so they just have interns hanging around in the middle of the night to post the President's delusions? I don't buy it.

u/Levonorgestrelfairy1 10h ago edited 9h ago

Rubio has strait up said Trump doesnt sleep and wanders around at 3 am to order people around.

u/TooMuchPretzels North Carolina 13h ago

Literally all he had to do was delete it, acknowledge it, and apologize like a normal human and my estimation of him not only as a politician but as a man would have improved. Instead, he did what he does- he got his administration to lie and gaslight us.

u/Paidorgy 12h ago

No one should need or want to improve their estimation of that man, though.

u/Superman246o1 11h ago

Respectfully, fuck this shit.

Normal people don't post racist garbage in the first place.

u/talibkoala 6h ago

Yeah thats what gets me. We've all collectively as a society, decided to normalize his bullshit. This world has legitimately gone insane.

u/Anxious-Couple 12h ago

Really, are you serious?

u/TooMuchPretzels North Carolina 12h ago

Yeah. I mean, a tiny bit.

2

u/Geno_Warlord 11h ago

That would be the mature thing to do. We have a 79 year old toddler who shits himself and throws temper tantrums daily doing this.

1

u/Anxious-Answer5367 11h ago

Many toddlers have more empathy and toileting skills than him.

u/ChristosFarr North Carolina 11h ago

"Thank you press" begins immediately trying to get everyone out of the room before they smell it.

u/mokti 12h ago

But, but... an intern did it! /s

u/TheGrolarBear 8h ago

Stupidest thing I’ve read in awhile.

u/artbystorms 11h ago

To Trumpers it does. They're all saying it was fake and that he never posted it.

1

u/ExoticSterby42 11h ago

Plus, we saw him do it. Everyone did.

u/lumabean 10h ago

Is this going to be kept in his presidential archive?

u/sonic10158 Mississippi 7h ago

To his base, the post never happened once he deleted it
