Donald Trump just laid an egg
Donald Trump’s social media posts have always been horrifying, often incoherent, and usually illiterate. But now his social media presence has become something else entirely: boring. It’s not just that Trump never really did return to Twitter, and instead prefers to shout into the abyss on his own failed social network. It’s that PT Barnum’s evil twin can’t even put on a show anymore.
For instance, on Sunday, Trump posted this on Truth Social: “My next TRUTH will be one of the most important and impactful I have ever issued. ENJOY!” Then four hours went by with nothing at all. People on Twitter got wind of this, and turned the whole thing into a punchline before Trump could even get his message out. When he finally did, it was yet another dud.
Trump ended up announcing that he’s going to somehow magically reduce prescription drug costs in the United States by raising them in the rest of the world. What he’s really talking about is even more tariffs, because “tariffs” is apparently the only word that his dementia-addled brain can still remember.
And so the 2025 version of Donald Trump continues to be as limp and lifeless as ever. He hyped an announcement that everyone knew was going to be a dud, then he waited hours to make it, and it turned out to indeed be a dud. Trump isn’t just corrupt, evil, senile, and psychotic. He’s also become painfully boring. There’s an irony in that a reality TV star became President, and now he’s so unwatchable that if this were The Apprentice he’d be getting fired.
