Donald Trump's return to Twitter/X is a smart move, although it has already cost him some of that sweet cash that his investment in Truth Social has brought to him through its stock value.
For a while, Trump's team has been crossposting Trump's "Truths" on Twitter, and most of the content has found its way onto Twitter. But there is nothing quite so powerful as a genuine Trump tweet, and Baby he's BACK! And with 88 million followers he will be reaching a big audience of very interested voters.
One of the notable expansions of his presence on Twitter is the smart use of video commercials that may never make it on TV, and I have to say that they strike me as quite good.
Of course, in this I am biased.
His pinned tweet is this video, and you can immediately see that the testosterone-fueled Trump campaign is sticking to its roots. Just as Kamala the Coconut is all in on the estrogen, Trump is leaning into masculinity.

Crazy Cat Ladies will not be lured into the MAGA movement with an appeal like this, but people looking for strength definitely will resonate with the message.

Leaning into that theme this Trump commercial focuses on his nature as a fighter standing up for the little guy and gal. There's no messing around with any particular policy, and why should there be? We all know Trump's policies. What Trump is hammering is his ability to take a shot, literally, and stand back up unbowed.

To the extent that these commercials are about redefining Trump, the issue they are addressing is his biggest weakness in some people's eyes: his character. The left always goes after him at this vulnerable point, and Trump's campaign is reminding people that Trump never gives up and never gives in, and that is a really smart move.
Trump's greatest weakness is being seen as a narcissist; these commercials remind you that he identifies with the struggles of Americans and will stand up to the bullies harming us.

Trump's ads will also appeal to Boomers and Gen X voters, reminding us of Trump's salad days in the 80s and 90s when he burst out onto the scene and was America's darling. Every celebrity wanted to be around him, and even his harshest critics today were unabashed fans back then.

Trump isn't leaving Kamala Harris out of the equation either, and he will have to hit her hard and hit her often because the transnational elite is determined to destroy him.
Even the European Union is--officially--working to silence Trump. They have threatened Twitter/X for platforming Trump, suggesting that allowing him to speak harms Europe.
No, I am not kidding.
This is an unprecedented attempt to stretch a law intended to apply in Europe to political activities in the US. It also patronizes European citizens, suggesting they are incapable of listening to a conversation and drawing their own conclusions.

Election interference, anyone? For all the talk about foreign governments meddling in our elections, it is our supposed "allies" doing it on behalf of the Biden regime.
F**k these guys.
Sorry for that, readers, but F-them! That includes the Biden regime, too.
Which brings me to my favorite ad, which will drive the Never Trumpers nuts. In fact, I have seen a number of their heads explode over it.

Hard not to love that, because it is exactly what we need.
It is good to see Trump back on Twitter, now X. It gives him an immense audience and I love that about 8 of this 10 tweets today are his campaign ads. I look forward to him posting more each coming day.
The Euro-jerks have gone full Nazi at this point.
they are hysterical over an interview
Indeed. It’s just like the 1930s and 1940s all over again.
That phone call with musk was the best conversation ever it wasn’t an interview it was more like a chat between two old friends shooting the breeze it was wonderful trump needs to do this every week this is how you reach the people
>> although it has already cost him some of that sweet cash that his investment in Truth Social has brought to him through its stock value.
Relentlessly standing up for We The People has cost President Trump plenty, already.
He knows no fear, and he has demonstrated that there’s no price he is unwilling to pay to restore America to what he KNOWS it should be!
May GOD continue to bless you and your family and team with His almighty favor, power, and success, President Trump! And THANK YOU for all that you have done for US!
>> it wasn’t an interview it was more like a chat between two old friends
President Trump is really, really good in those settings.
He is genuine! (I believe Elon Musk is genuine, as well.)
May GOD bless them both in these challenging times!

This is the second time that a Communist True Believer has committed “suicide by cop”. The first was to take out Republicans at a Congressional baseball game, where Cong. Steve Scalise (LA) was gravely wounded.
Yeah, and the longer I look at that the stranger it seems. Maybe not so strange - a lockup between Trump and Musk is an end run around the long-cherished mainstream media monopoly of the Left. They don't own social media anymore - they never really understood it anyway.
bkmk
Amen
Trump is posting great videos on twitter/X. My favorite

I may have to get an X account.
You don’t need an account to read on X, just to post.
I know...but seems supporting freedom on X is a good thing.
Thanks for clarifying. I do use my account for exactly that purpose.
