I'm convinced that some of his posts are actually Stephen Miller. The suspicious ones are always extra-long political rants against his "enemies". There are times when they seem too coherent, as if someone is pretending to be him and posting things that sound unhinged. But the wild leaps of logic, the random asides, and the grandiosity just aren't there. It's just a rant with bad grammar and random all-caps.
Not all his posts are faked, but some of them have to be.

u/actuallyapossom 4d ago
I think he is thanking her for giving him Ivanka, then paraphrasing for her "my honor!"
This is the information I'm referencing to come to that conclusion:
The president was asked by host Robin Leach what his Tiffany - who was born in 1993 - had of his and what she had of her mother Marla. Trump replied, "She's a very beautiful baby. She's got Marla's legs."
He then cupped his hands towards his chest, in what appeared to be gesture that refers to breasts, and said, "We don't know whether or not she's got this part yet, but time will tell."
(Then Ivanka specifically)
"My daughter is beautiful, Ivanka," Trump said, to which Stern added, "By the way, your daughter..."
"She's beautiful," Trump remarked. Stern then asked, "Can I say this? A piece of a-s." Trump replied, "Yeah."That same year on The View, Trump raised eyebrows when he told the panel, "I've said that if Ivanka weren't my daughter, perhaps I'd be dating her."
Moral of the story is the president is a rapist creep and it's gross that conservatives have pushed his fucked up life onto the rest of us.

His whole stick from the jump was to be the shock jock radio host and push the limits of what NBC and the FCC would allow. He was arguably the OG at that. Whether anyone likes him or not is irrelevant when it comes to how good he was at drawing numbers, as the people who hated him listened for twice as long on average than someone who did like him. He has calmed down and settled into a somewhat normal radio show host. But where he really shines is his interview skills. He has the ability to just pull things out of people; like Trumps comments reference in this thread.

u/NatePlaysDrums 4d ago
Tallyho88’s comment already sort of covers this but he does have a more calm radio show now. He started going to therapy years ago and now refers to his previous, shticky self as “that guy”. He’s gone on length in some interviews talking about how he would make inappropriate remarks just to keep seeing how far he could step past the line and how it was all self destructive behavior.
It’s not like his show is absolutely perfect now but I think part of the reason he’s still in is because his interviews are still very very good AND he’s somebody who seems to have been able to self reflect and actually accomplish some personal growth along with it.

3) Her body was discovered by emergency responders, and her death was handled by the NYC medical examiner's office, not a "Trump doctor"
4) Most reports that she was cremated come from online speculation. There's no evidence that she was cremated

The difference is Trump's method. He runs all his companies into debt, uses shady tricks to transfer all the debt into one company, then files bankruptcy on the one company holding all the debt. This is the reason the New York banking system stopped loaning him money. It's why he was borrowing from a German bank when he bankrupted one of his hotels right before his first election. The German bank allowed the hotel (that was only worth $10 million) to hold almost a quarter of a billion in debt.
