I signed up for Trump's Telegram channel right around the time he was banned on Twitter. I didn't use Twitter then so honestly, had it not been all over the news I would have had no idea that this was happening. I did enjoy some of the rather crazy things that would come through the pipe over there though. I especially loved how he owned up and chuckled about the "Covfefe" thing..

The fact that the media and social media reacted to "covfefe" the way that it did made it even more funny. They would bring on various experts to talk for hours about how someone who would make such a terrible spelling mistake should not be in charge of our country or something like that. I think most people who weren't addled with TDS or so far down a Trump hatred rabbit hole could find the humor in it and his follow up Tweets and the way he laughed about it when asked in press conferences was quite humorous.
Now we fast forward to years later where I actually AM going to see everything that he puts online and I presume that they are just forwards of the same messages that he is putting on Truth social. I get a lot of messages from this group chat every day and most of them are the same things over and over again.
The ALL CAPS thing really bothers me because this was determined a long time ago to be a big "no no" in any messaging system. It just looks like a little kid is doing it to get more attention, which was probably how it came into being in the first place. I'm not going to focus on that too much but it's the sheer volume of messages reminding the followers about why they should always be angry. I guess maybe I don't want to be angry all the time and now, I mostly don't even pay much attention to what The Don sends to this group chat.
The sentiment in this above Tweet has been posted in various forms hundreds of times and after a while I just have to wonder what the objective is here? Are there people out there with the opposite of TDS that need to be constantly reminded of this? I muted the channel a long time ago but I guess I have some sort of twisted desire to see what sort of crazy things he is going to say next.
What does Donald hope to accomplish by putting this same information out there day in and day out?
Personally, I think the interest in Trump is dwindling as time goes by and that his involvement in a 2024 Presidential run could probably be damaging to conservatives. There are plenty of people out there that would vote for a man who doesn't know how to think very well anymore, even knowing that he can't do the job and likely has handlers that are truly pulling the strings, than vote for someone that they have been trained to hate like no one ever before.
Is it time to bring in DeSantis?
In my mind I think it would benefit Trump greatly if he stepped back on the number of messages he sends out and instead focus on new information that isn't ever written in full caps. Or maybe he has a bigger strategy in mind that I am just too much of a redneck to understand.
