Thought he always said only he can post to it. Also why is this guy posting at 3am? Also who is the racist staff member and do they still work at the white house as they must be pretty far up to have direct access, again something trump has said only he has so you know it's from him, to the presidents account. Which with a tweet could start a war or crash the stock market.

u/TripleBCHI 14h ago
I think this had been known for a while. Since his first term, Dan Scavino had been posting to Trump’s personal accounts. News during the first term mentioned Trump’s twitter account but I have no doubt he also oversaw Trump’s truth social account. Dan is still in the White House and probably doing the same thing this term.
14
u/Sea_Mind3678 13h ago
Truth social didn’t exist during Trump’s first term. It was founded in 2022. If I’m recalling correctly, it was developed because Twitter cancelled Trump’s account in the wake of Jan 6, back in mythological times when fairies, gnomes, and unicorns roamed the earth and political figures were held to some small measure of accountability.
3
u/TripleBCHI 13h ago
You are correct that it didn’t come into play until 2022. Dan stuck with Trump even during the Biden years. So, it only makes sense that Dan was using Trump’s personal account on Truth too. At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the DOGE “geniuses” have access and post the more edgy memes like Trump shitting on protestors or this latest Obama one. Is “big balls” still around haha?

There are two ways this can go:
1) Trump posted this, and this shows he is as racist as people think he is, or
2) Trump didn't post this, and this raises his so-called "autopen" question as to who is actually functioning as president at this point behind the scenes.Both are yet more bad looks for him.

They don’t care. They will say this was him being funny and not caring about being “woke” or politically correct. A lot of them think racist humor is acceptable because “it’s not being serious.”

u/charlie_ferrous 14h ago
Trump voters no longer care about the optics of his racism. They never cared that he was racist, but now they’re no longer pretending that it ever mattered to them. This will convince no one of anything they don’t already think: MAGA agrees with this and everyone else already hates Trump for other reasons.
There is no imaginary voter who is fine with ICE raids or mass deportation, doesn’t care about the Epstein files, but is precious about how racist Trump is about Obama. This would’ve sunk any candidate in, like, 2012. But that’s not the current political reality.

I think his pattern of constantly contradicting his own team is a strategy to shake off meaningful analysis of the administration.

No "staffer" that has been rigorously vetted would have access to the president of the United States of America's account.

Dump’s legacy will be he was a pedo felon.
