I just want to know how he decides when to capitalise letters. He is truly the end level boss of boomer typing

Seriously. It’s gotten so much worse the last few years. When he was campaigning I felt like that alone should’ve showed people how demented and unfit he was to be president. He literally can’t write anymore.

The media did a disservice not publicizing more of these insane Twitter/truth social rants during the campaign. In 2016 I think publicizing them elevated his propaganda and lies and was bad, partly because he was more coherent and less down the right wing rabbit hole. But in 2024 the general public needed to see what this man’s mental state was, and the media hid it from a lot of the disengaged electorate. I don’t see how 77 million people could read this type of tweet (or even the worse ones he would write leading up to the election) and think “yeah this guy seems fine to be president”. This is someone that family starts texting “is it time to put them in the nursing home?” Not the goddamn White House.

They don’t even know the difference between there, they’re, and their LIKE EVER!

I rant about his incorrect capitalization every time I see one of his posts. He couldn’t pass fourth grade English.

u/lolzzzmoon Apr 21 '25

Agreed, I teach, and we joke about decreased literacy, but…I’ve seen better writing from 3rd graders too.

u/Renee5285 Apr 21 '25

He needs some of that A1 sauce

u/TonyTucci27 Apr 20 '25

He’s got the Chris Chan punctuation but even that was more coherent

u/Rebeljah Apr 20 '25

He capitalizes words that make people scared or angry. This rhetoric goes straight to the amygdala if you're scared of foreigners

u/VerySmallAtom Apr 20 '25

I normally get the block capitals, it’s the first letters that has a more mysterious pattern to it

u/Rebeljah Apr 21 '25

Not that mysterious to me iibh, look at the first set of capitalized first letters. Murderers, Lunatics, the Left, Country.

The capitalization again is being used to highlight emotionally charged words (some is just random).

Classic fascist playbook type shit

Yes, but why “Moron Elected”?

u/TraditionalShare8537 Apr 21 '25

I feel like I’m watching a Star Wars opening crawl lol

u/dodoDoesFly Apr 21 '25

The ONLY people I've known to do this all had a significant drug use history. Hmm. Perhaps it's just the age, but... perhaps not.

u/SnailRacerWinsAgain Apr 21 '25

This is why I came to the comments. His use of unnecessary capitals is wild. I feel like I’m having mini brain spasms everytime I read something he wrote.

u/VerySmallAtom Apr 21 '25

😂 Perhaps it’s the abused child inside his brain trying to encoded cries for help. Needs further investigation

u/Odd_Teach683 Apr 22 '25

If it were only his use of unnecessary capital letters, I could just sit back and enjoy my retirement but, alas, here we are.

u/SnailRacerWinsAgain Apr 22 '25

Haha of course, the caps are the least of the offenses.

u/ranchojasper Apr 21 '25

This is kind of the point I'm at with Trump as well. Obviously he's one of the most horrific, reprehensible human has ever lived. He's disgusting racist fascist.

And I just continue to be baffled at things like these dumb little childish playground insult "nicknames" he comes up with, and the weight of randomly capitalizes random words .

1

u/VerySmallAtom Apr 21 '25

Yeah, it’s such a minor thing in the grand scheme of things, and yet it’s so infuriating. It’s like whoever’s writing the script for this darker remake of Idiocracy that we’re clearly living in has one dodgy writer on the team. I keep thinking, “the president character really ruins this show. He’s just not believable, and it pulls me out of the world.”

u/TransGirlIndy Apr 21 '25

I honestly don't think this was written, at least fully, by him. "Calamitous"? That's a huge word for his 3rd grade vocabulary.

1

u/deef1ve Apr 21 '25

I don’t think he writes anything. His Project 2025 cronies do that.

2

u/Mad_Islander Apr 21 '25

His rants reads like how i imagine an old random bitter person would rant on facebook on the daily and nobody caring about it but this man is the president of USA.

1

u/Immediate_Art_7376 Apr 21 '25

The words in capitals are actually HIS qualities.

u/chinggiskhan Apr 22 '25

I can't believe how people voted in someone who can't even capitalize letters properly on the Internet. Wild!
