The general rule of transparency is to make you look good and strong, not like a feeble-minded limp dick.

    What other world leaders will even see his posts directly? I mean, I can’t imagine any other country taking his Truth Social seriously enough to join it in an official capacity

      I’m sure every major government has staffers that monitor the public (and sometimes private) communications of other world leaders. That means there are people who work in say Iran, or Israel or Nigeria who are on Truth Social just so they can brief higher-ups about what Trump is doing and saying.

        Oh, definitely. It would probably be irresponsible to not monitor his media unofficially. It’s the way he is acting like this is an official method of open communication to mediate between governments that’s ridiculous to me. Maybe I’ve forgotten how things were before Twitter shut his account down, but I’m still amazed he doesn’t have people who can get him to understand how bad this is

      He’s not talking to anyone but his echo chamber there. It doesn’t matter who else sees it so long as his followers do.
