Staffers Relieved That Trump Is Only Having Nervous Breakdowns On Social Media

Donald Trump went on an insane posting spree on social media throughout this entire week, with the media absolutely annihilating him for some of the most vitriolic and offensive posts we’ve ever seen from him. But there is a silver lining to his very public mental breakdowns, according to his own staff. That silver lining is that the outbursts are currently contained to just his social media accounts, and he’s not doing these in public yet. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what’s happening.

Donald Trump's nonstop, uh, public nervous breakdown, I guess we should call it. That has been happening on social media really for weeks. But this past week absolutely went off the charts and it's definitely something that we cannot ignore as a country. This man, uh, on just one day this past Wednesday, got on truth social, fired off dozens of posts before 10:00 AM 15 of them according to media matters, actually carried, uh, Q Anon messaging. Not to mention the very vulgar post he put out there about, um, Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton regarding, uh, sexual activities, which was way just absolutely bonkers out of line. But all of this is actually pretty good for the campaign, or at least his staffers seem to think so, because according to Rolling Stone that actually spoke to some of Donald Trump's staffers, they're certainly not happy with what he's putting on social media, but they are happy that it's staying just on social media.

Let me read you this from the Rolling Stone report. A senior Trump campaign official tells Rolling Stone that they're consistently relieved for the sake of their 2024 campaign that the former president's main social media home right now is truth social, uh, if only because 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. If Trump were still using x, formerly Twitter as his primary social vehicle, this official asserts, the more unhelpful posting and reposting sprees would get more public traction and drive more news cycles. Now, here's the problem with that analysis from this Trump official. He has gone back to Twitter. He has been far more active on Twitter in the last two weeks, uh, really than ever since he's been reinstated. He has largely ignored Twitter, but now he's come back.

But most sure, most of the horrific things that he's saying are staying on truth social, which is a completely dying platform. If you've paid attention to the news of the last month, truth social is effectively dead. But his staffers are relieved that he is just sticking to truth social, right? Like, yeah, he's saying bad things. He is saying horrible things, but at least he's kind of barking in the dark right now. 'cause nobody pays attention to truth social. And of course, the problem with that analysis is that everybody's been paying attention to what he's posting. There are actually accounts on Twitter whose only job it is, is to take everything Trump says on True social and repost it on Twitter. Some of them do screenshots, some of them just copy and paste it, but everybody sees it. You know, this past week,

Donald Trump's very public nervous breakdowns have not gone unnoticed by the media. I think every major media outlet in this country has covered them. So it's not staying quiet. It's not just dying off on truth social. It is in fact becoming a very real campaign issue for Donald Trump because everybody is paying attention, even if they don't have to go and create a, an account on truth social in order to do it. So the staffers may think, oh boy, nobody's paying attention, but trust me, everybody's paying attention and it is causing him to lose tons and tons of voters if of course we can believe every single poll that has come out recently.
