What the hell is it with the "Thank you for your attention to this matter" bullshit?

[LuckyCharms]

I'm referring to Trump's posts.

You know why people say he is insane? Because he's insane.

For some reason, this is irritating the fuck out of me.

If it were anyone else, I'd say "I hope they get help".

With him, I hope he fucking drops dead.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

[tanyev]

1. What, you don't think it makes him sound super professional and sooper dooper smart??

[Attilatheblond]

30. If he was dabbling in learning to read, I would consider someone might have given him copy of The One Minute Manager

but we know he doesn't read anything that isn't about him.

[Seinan Sensei]

76. Run, Dick, run!

[OMGWTF]

51. National Treasure Jeff Tiedrich's column says it makes his statement "legally binding". LOLOLOLOL!!!

[LSparkle]

2. It's the way a boss closes an office-wide email

Like we’re his employees and we will OBEY.

Fuck him.

[LuckyCharms]

6. That's probably why it's irritating me...

Reminds me of my working days.

It's such a stupid thing to say.

[yardwork]

17. It cracks me up.

I look for places to laugh as the world burns up. Trump's ridiculous statements provide comic relief.

[Ocelot II]

27. Specifically, it's how a department manager reminds employees

that they need to take their leftovers out of the break room refrigerator at the end of the week, or that they can't just leave paper jams in the copier but immediately call Bob in maintenance to get it taken care of.

[vanlassie]

72. I thought Bob quit.

[synni]

77. I thought DOGE fired him

[Jack Valentino]

69. or a bill collector...

[C_U_L8R]

3. He's never run anything but a small family office

He must think that's what real Chief Executives say or some shit.
Trump has always been nothing but a sideshow clown.

[brush]

20. And attenton whore to the emteenth power. Everybody's attention must be on him 24/7.

[rubbersole]

60. What do you have against sideshow clowns? 🤪

[OC375]

4. Best regards

I hate that one too. So clinical and meaningless.

[johnnyfins]

5. I like that he is now reminding everyone

that he is POTUS, too.

[Qanisqineq]

7. It irritates the fuck out of me, too

Your post cracked me up. Glad I'm not alone.

Great way to end your post.

[RedWhiteBlueIsRacist]

8. It's TACO's new bumpersticker for World War III.

[LuckyCharms]

9. PLEASE DON'T STARE AT THE NUCLEAR BLAST.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

[yardwork]

18. ....

[oasis]

19. Nice one!

[Prairie Gates]

10. It's giving annoying office job manager...I'm surprised the MAGAs aren't annoyed by it

[LSparkle]

14. Lumberg!

[Zambero]

25. Uh, yeahhh....

😬

[LeftinOH]

11. It's a newer phrase in his limited repertoire. See also "on levels never seen before."

[ms liberty]

12. It's the phrase you or your boss uses when the message has a task attached

So he's acting like he's "the boss" the head honcho in charge of everybody. And those pesky Iranians and Israelis need to do what he needs done, stat.

[Ol Janx Spirit]

13. It's like he thinks he's the president of the world's Home Owners Association....

...and we just painted our mailbox the wrong color....

What an idiot.

[DENVERPOPS]

52. Republicans

invented HOA's...........what a fucking bunch of Nazi, run everyone's else's lives, pure assholes......

[Maeve]

15. Yep, a middle manager reminding people to tidy the break room

Another sign his cheese is off the cracker

[ecstatic]

16. That's what he says when someone has him by the balls

and he wants to confront them in a way that protects his secrets and /or fragile (fake) relationships.

I wonder if he's talking to BB by phone or just posting messages online?

[CanonRay]

21. Rewatching Big Love

and he is l8ke the cult leader Hollis Green who ends his phone calls "sincerely Hollis Green".

[KPN]

22. Lol. Coffee hasn't finished brewing, but that last sentence almost made me spit my morning water out! Really!

[Sparkly]

23. I say it as a joke, sarcastically.

It's one of my favorite sayings because it's so stupid.

[Aviation Pro]

24. It's standard corporate speak used by managers

”WhO DoN’t kNoW wHAt tHe FUck They’RE DoiNg.”

[Heidi]

26. It rubs us wrong because it's passive-aggressive HR-speak.

“Snacks are now forbidden in the break room.”

As usual, floggings will cease when morale improves.

[Paladin]

28. We probably ought to be thankful for our blessings.

If trump had anything close to an adult-level grasp of the English language, he'd be even more dangerous than he is, now.

[markie]

29. everything he does

" irritat(es) the fuck out of me"

but you, Lucky, I pay attention to!!!

[Harker]

31. "You, you, and you... take care of it."

[librechik]

32. It's a 4 yr old playing office. He's the secretary.

Those guys behind him are mannequins from the Twilight Zone set. They come alive when he smiles at them.

They are the best people! he keeps shouting.

[bif]

33. I'm surprised he doesn't sign off

On his 2 a..m. deranged posts with "TTFN!"

[Katinfl]

34. How about the Donald J. Trump, President of the United States........all in CAPS? WTF????

[Niagara]

35. There's a meme that circulates every so often...

I haven't seen the meme in awhile but it reads something like this describing tRump...

It's like we took everything bad about America and scrapped it off the floor, rolled into an old hotdog skin, painted it orange and taught it to make random noises with it's face.

[LuckyCharms]

36. That meme is perfect!!!

It's the truth too!!

Hi Niagara! I hope you are having a nice day!

[jgmiller]

38. It's stupid power CEO speak

I've known CEO's who do that, they think it somehow conveys power but really all it does is irritate anyone who reads it. It's supposed to be a command to do what he says.

[flashman13]

39. He is as mad as a hatter.

Have a nice day.

[róisín_dubh]

44. Mad as a box of frogs...

As we say in England

[flashman13]

47. Right Oh!

That probably makes him a WANKER as well.

[allegorical oracle]

40. Thank you for your attention to this matter, LuckyCharms. The last time I saw those

words posted anyplace was a Ladies Room. Over the waste can.

[eppur_se_muova]

41. It's a way of saying "If you don't take care of this it's not my fault because I said something to you about it".

Favorite responsibility-avoiding mechanism of sucky bosses.

[LuckyCharms]

45. Do you need a hug?

[AllaN01Bear]

43. line five : is he dead yet?

[Moostache]

49. Nope...believe me, its the FIRST THING I check for evey morning...

One day, sooner than later I pray, the blessed headline will appear:

"Trump found dead on bathroom floor. Unsent rage tweet on phone."

[AllaN01Bear]

56. ''

please make it so # 1. and there is a poster who asks that very question evry so often.

[SheltieLover]

75. Orrex has a thread every morning

Join the fun!

[Moostache]

46. Its just Trump's jealousy over the internet 'Karens' getting too much attention...

He is the first (and god save us otherwise) and ONLY President Karen.
This is the kind of passive-aggressive horse shit I expect from an HOA with too much time on their hands...NOT from the POTUS.

But then again, that is Trump punching in his weight class. He really doesn't even belong on the board of directors for a home owner's association let alone in the position he currently contaminates.

[sop]

48. Thank you...

[Pesky1]

50. How about beautiful

That's another word that Trump has ruined for me. Using that word to describe the "Big Beautiful Bill" is a con man's usage. Imagine a real president like Obama, Biden, JFK calling a favored legislation "beautiful". Wouldn't happen because they natural class. Not this con.

[Native]

53. For someone who speaks in the third person about himself, this doesn't seem any more ridiculous to me. nt

[Easterncedar]

54. He learned it from all the overdue bill notices he got

Standard phrasing after “Remit payment immediately, or this will be sent to a collection agency.” He thinks it makes him sound profound and official.

[moose65]

55. It bugs me, too!

It's the kind of thing a manager would say if there is some mundane task that needs to be done. Instead of telling an employee, "Get off your lazy ass and clean up the mess you left on the copier room floor," he instead says "Please make sure that the copy room is neat and tidy. Thank you for your attention to this matter."

It's a passive-aggressive way to get something done.

As far as Trump goes, he puts it on every long screed that he posts. There is no attached task to complete. It's like saying, "You came to my birthday party. Thank you for attention to this matter."

[Ping Tung]

57. It's political speak for "I'm not sticking my neck out" or "Not guilty" when caught.

[BootinUp]

58. He's such a polite pos, no?

[Joinfortmill]

59. He thinks he's signing a memo to his lackeys at Trump Tower.

He's demented.

[Mosby]

61. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Its a very important matter, maybe the most important ever on DU. Some people say other matters are more important, but that's fake news, this is the most important matter if your going to be honest.

[Karasu]

62. Just makes him sound like fucking chatGPT or some shit.

Talking like AI is all the rage among idiots these days.

[drmeow]

63. He forgot what he was writing

1/2 way through so he finished with the standard fake courtesy "do what I tell you" and hit send.

[Xavier Breath]

64. Something his dad wrote to him in a memo when he was nine.

Probably on his birthday or at Christmas.

[Figarosmom]

65. It means whatever he's thanking them

For is not a request, it's an order and he wants it done.

[malthaussen]

66. It's a very common closing for an interoffice memo...

... from a superior to his subordinates. That's probably why it irritates you. Execs use that all the time when they're telling their peons what to do, and even in his coherent moments, DJT sees himself as the CEO of a corporation, and not the head of a government.

-- Mal

[Marie Marie]

67. I know that it raised my opinion of his IQ by 2 points.

After all, he did spell everything correctly. GOD DAMN HE IS SUCH AN ASSHOLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Just Jerome]

68. Thank YOU, slobfather,

for your asphyxiation, atrial fibrillation, anaphylaxis, aortic aneurysm……

Hell, I don’t care, just pick one.

Take ‘em all!

[Jack Valentino]

70. Sounds like my electric bill when I'm behind....

from someone to whom I actually owe something......

[Mblaze]

71. Trump thinks it

Makes his bullshit sound like business.

[czarjak]

73. Threat.

Actually.

[av8rdave]

74. It learned one sentence that it thinks sounds cool and official

This entity has absolutely no clue about anything that’s occurring. It simply reacts to what it sees on TV and X. Its band of incompetents and nazis are calling the shots.

[Paladin]

78. That closing phrase started going out of style, a good 40 years ago.

Imagine my surprise, that Orange Julius didn't get the memo...
