    It’s weird how it seems like something he would totally write, but at the same time doesn’t? Sure, there’s the shitty lack of grammar and randomly capitalized words…yet it just doesn’t seem completely him. “Open the fuckin’ straits,” just doesn’t read at all like something he would write. I don’t know, I think I really just want and need to see THAT headline pop up on my phone - so I’m definitely just grasping at whatever glimmer of hope I can find.

      It felt off to me too and I think I’ve finally pinned it down. It’s not rambling enough. It’s unhinged, sure, but fairly concise and stays on topic. This would usually be a full paragraph that wanders off into the weeds to yell about how much better than Biden he is for a line or two.

      Also I agree with you, I don’t think he would correctly use an apostrophe in the word " fuckin’ " like that.

      I thought the same thing, but went back and searched “fuckin” among his “Truths” and found quite a few dating back years. This one is uniquely unhinged though, given the civilian catastrophe it would cause, as well as further exacerbating global commodity shortages, which are already going to get really bad without any further action

        It’s not so much the use of the word, but more to do with the general flow of what was written. It just doesn’t “feel” like something that dipshit would write. It feels more like someone doing a poor impersonation of him.
