In a Christmas message to his followers Monday, former President Donald Trump said he hopes supporters of "Electric Car Lunacy" would "ROT IN HELL."

Trump's Monday afternoon Truth Social post continued a theme he had been developing with several other posts since Christmas Eve, attacking Justice Department Special Counsel Jack Smith, who is prosecuting two criminal cases against him.

The frontrunner of the 2024 presidential race for the Republican Party nomination added a missive against "THUGS," which he said were more "evil" and "sick" than all world leaders. In the grammatically confusing post, Trump also appeared to attack Israel, which Trump lumped in with Iran, as well as both Russia and Ukraine.

[-] stoicmaverick@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

No he won't. Elon loves him, and what the hell is Twitter?

[-] mateomaui@reddthat.com 18 points 11 months ago

The domain says Twitter. It’s fucking Twitter.

[-] Pratai@lemmy.ca 11 points 11 months ago

It’ll always be twitter. Just like Facebook will always be Facebook.

[-] ripcord@kbin.social 5 points 11 months ago

But Facebook is still called Facebook

[-] shutuuplegs@reddthat.com 3 points 11 months ago

Originally it was “the Facebook” but yeah, x is stupid as a name.

The company, but we're talking about the site/app here

[-] HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 months ago

Company is, the product isn't.

[-] irreticent@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Meta is the company that owns Facebook, Instagram, Threads, etc.

[-] Pratai@lemmy.ca 0 points 11 months ago

Yeah. They’re still called Facebook to me. Don’t care what they changed their name to.

[-] irreticent@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

I'm that way about X. I still call it twitter.

[-] 11181514@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

You know, Twitter, the social media site later called X, the social media site formerly known as Twitter.

[-] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Oh, right. It's Xwixxer now.

[-] drascus@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 months ago

I think they mean ten

[-] Jeanschyso@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

It's a microblog social media platform that tried and failed to rebrand to "X". Unfortunately for Twitter leadership, the brand of Twitter is too strong to be suddenly changed like that.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
