The general rule of transparency is to make you look good and strong, not like a feeble-minded limp dick.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Why does he keep posting this stuff on Truth Social. He just looks so amateure. Which other world leader posts on social media like this?
What other world leaders will even see his posts directly? I mean, I can't imagine any other country taking his Truth Social seriously enough to join it in an official capacity
I'm sure every major government has staffers that monitor the public (and sometimes private) communications of other world leaders. That means there are people who work in say Iran, or Israel or Nigeria who are on Truth Social just so they can brief higher-ups about what Trump is doing and saying.
Oh, definitely. It would probably be irresponsible to not monitor his media unofficially. It's the way he is acting like this is an official method of open communication to mediate between governments that's ridiculous to me. Maybe I've forgotten how things were before Twitter shut his account down, but I'm still amazed he doesn't have people who can get him to understand how bad this is
He's not talking to anyone but his echo chamber there. It doesn't matter who else sees it so long as his followers do.
That's sorta the point though, if the POTUS is communicating through it then it legitimizes the platform.
We already did all this. I guess most people were - in boarding school or something, idk, but we did allll of this before.
He’s a demented malignant narcissist. For the moment, forget that he’s a rapist, a crook, a fraud, corrupt as the day is long, a tool of russia, and so very, very far from whatever the ideals idiot evangelicals think he embodies.
He only has one filter: how does [insert subject] benefit him? There are NO other considerations; he is incapable of them.
From there he goes to the most direct way to achieve the benefit to himself. If one does not exist he follows the Clap-o-meter, or, failing that, whatever the last thing was that someone next to him said.
It produces such very sad, incompetent chaos. Anyone who didn’t do something to stop him should be very ashamed. But, like trump, the cult doesn’t “do” shame and so here we are again.
Bibi's stopped taking his calls.
A lot of them unfortunately, at least in Europe every other news article quotes a politican's Twitter post
