'Trump has entered a disturbing new era in his Truth Social obsession'
"A new Washington Post analysis concludes that as of Sunday, President Donald Trump had posted '2,262 times to his company’s social network Truth Social in the 132 days since his inauguration ... more than three times the number of tweets he sent during the same period of his first presidency.' Trump is reportedly surprising his staff with outlandish posts fired off in the late hours of the night and early hours of the morning, sharing unfiltered thoughts that then ricochet across the internet."
"Trump is publishing his stream-of-consciousness statements primarily on his own social media platform, Truth Social, in which he owns billions of dollars’ worth of shares. Incessantly posting pushes the public and the media to join the platform to keep abreast of the president’s announcements, boosting the company’s value and enriching him. He has an incentive to post for the sake of posting, to maintain a constant buzz around his platform and keep his media business in the news and at the center of the culture."
"Trump’s intensifying obsession with posting on social media is a natural expression of his presidency: impulsive, reckless, self-promotional and filled with misinformation. It is common to counsel the terminally online to 'log off and touch grass.' But in this case it seems useless — the posting is the point."
