…holy fuck - that’s a real tweet.

I guess you haven’t seen what the White House account posted then…

And don't forget the "ASMR" post from a day or two before that. Imagine if the whitehouse posted something like a thunderstorm and captioned it "ASMR: conservatives crying over bakeries making cakes for gay weddings." while Biden was in office.

1/3 of the population is freaking out and screaming, 1/3 is saying "hell yeah, brother", and a 1/3 is like "I thought egg prices were supposed to go down."

No, it's not. Because it's not a tweet at all. Trump posted that on his own little unfederated modified Mastodon instance he calls Truth Social (seriously, it's built on Mastodon). Note the red check instead of blue and them being called "retruths" because he calls posts on his instance "truths."

It's an important distinction if ever you need to find the original source for any reason.

Thanks! I was already aware of that, but others might not be.

I used tweet in the generic sense because like hell I would ever say “Holy crap, that’s a real truth!”
