    So the joke is getting less funny the longer he keeps this up. If he’s not careful he could get stuck and this will be his thing and he won’t be able to stop. And then there will be two of them posting like this.

      Trump actually stopped writing mostly caps, so it’s working. It being funny is just a bonus

        Haha I was wondering if there was a reason Trump started writing slightly more like a human!

      At least this has some kind of effect man. I don’t think he was ever doing this just to be funny for funny sake

      I think it would be more of a dig in he spoke like a respectable adult; to model what that looks like for Trump.

      This is stupid. I don’t want prominent political figures speaking like biligirent teenagers. Can’t one of the parties act like they have their shit together, or does this all need to be an episode of Jerry Springer?

        Democrats have spent 10 years “taking the high road” while Donald Trump literally re-enacts the rise of the Nazi party in Germany, 1932 and it’s gotten them nowhere.

        At this point I don’t give a shit if Gavin Newsom is actually like this. Mocking Trump is what respectable adults do.

          Democrats handed the presidency to Biden when he was the weakest candidate in the primaries. Then they spent four years quietly addressing issues while Biden aged completely out of being a viable president. He foolishly ran again, so Israel could keep blowing up kids. They then propped up a replacement candidate with no primary when they saw that he had a snowball’s chance in hell of winning. Harris was ok, but “more of the same” didn’t resonate with people and she had little charisma. Whatever Obama has, she does not.

          I don’t think we are in this position because our candidates aren’t doing “Trump speak”. I think it’s because they don’t have a message that resonates with normal people.

          Pete Buttigieg, love him or hate him, has a good communication style. He goes on Fox news and wins debates and hopefully pushes people towards more reasonable approaches. It’s not so much the high road, as it is having a message that makes sense.

          I think the outcomes will be the same no matter how Newsom speaks until Democrats fight for the people they are supposed to represent instead of their donors. This just is the worst of both worlds.

        Ofc you do, because you’re an intelligent individual. However trumps base is a bunch of low brow alcoholics who just vote for the “funny guy”.
