Trump Goes Full Fascist in Truth Social Posting Spree
One campaign official says staffers are relieved that the former president has largely isolated his social media presence to his own app

Donald Trump's presidential reelection bid would likely nosedive if moderate voters discovered the dark messages he shares on Truth Social, a senior campaign official told Rolling Stone Wednesday.

The anonymous insider said Trump's team is "consistently relieved, for the sake of their 2024 campaign" that the public hasn't caught on to the QAnon conspiracy theories and authoritarian threats the Republican nominee posts on his social media platform, Rolling Stone reported.

"It limits the public reach and media attention that these kinds of posts receive, as Trump is trying to appeal to moderate and swing voters in the final months of the election," Rolling Stone reports.

"If Trump were still using X, formerly Twitter, as his primary social vehicle, this official asserts, the more 'unhelpful' posting and re-posting sprees would get more public traction and drive more news cycles."

1. Say, if there are campaign staffers uncomfortable with the fascism,

maybe they should QUIT and STOP ENABLING the fascist.

Honestly.

4. True, but I think they're not so uncomfortable with the fascism, per se

But rather realize that publicizing it's not a particularly good election strategy.

3. tRump a fascist, Am I surprised, not really!

Kamala did more in her 31/2 yrs than Trump in his entire life. Oh add draft dodger to his list of crimes.

Money can buy almost anything but not honesty, integrity and mostly unselfishness, he’s a glutton for power over country at all costs

6. Gee, I wonder why the "liberal media" doesn't make sure more people know about this?

Seems like a story there, folks. If you care.

7. What's the status of Qanon?

Did they largely dissipate when their invincible strongman lost the election? Or are they as crazy and strong as ever? Honestly don’t hear much about them anymore other than Trump sporadically trying to fan those flames again.
