For years, Donald Trump has leaned on all-caps social media posts to grab attention online.

His Truth Social feed often reads like a never-ending shouting match. However, that changed after Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) began mocking the president’s style in dozens of posts interspersed among his regular missives.

This has been going on for the better part of a week, and seems to have gotten to Trump’s ego, as his latest Truth Social posts aren’t in his classic all-caps style.

    He clearly implied. Leaving no room for confusion or doubt that he implied what he implied.

    The implication was explicit. He’s considering running. No one thinks he was implying he would run for a spot on Sesame Street, or as Chief of Staff, or any other position.

    You don’t think that works well enough, especially in the context of Jon’s relationship with the subject in the past?

      You keep using these words… I do not think they mean what you think they mean.

      If you must interpret the meaning of his words based on additional context, then he was implying.

      If there is no need for interpretation, then he was being explicit.

      especially in the context of Jon’s relationship with the subject in the past?

      His relationship to the subject in the past has been an utter lack of interest in running for any kind of office, and has never even attempted it on a local level or expressed a desire to.

      How about we all get the dick of celebrityhood in general out of our collective mouths and just let the man tell us what he has planned if he has something planned.
