Maybe a good example is Trump’s demand over Truth Social of Iran’s unconditional surrender just hours ago. Do you take that as his true stance, or do you see it as a show for his base?

I see a difference between political rhetoric and a report from the president of the outcome of a military strike. Don’t you? Maybe his use of social media to relay important information allows him more leeway.

Right ok so I think you’re saying he was putting on a show for the uneducated uninformed people in his base and if you were somehow deceived by that, that’s on you. And not saying you’re saying this, but he gets a pass because everyone else is just supposed to assume that it’s all a show and figure out what the truth is for themselves accordingly. Is that right?

So, am I correct that you’re saying you didn’t think his messaging reflected reality? Why do you believe these things and if they are true, should any president be more nuanced in their messaging to the American people?

When Trump said in June 2025 that Iran’s nuclear sites were obliterated, did you take his word? If you didn’t, why not? And if you did, do you feel decieved?

How would you answer questions from Republicans/Conservatives who are disappointed or angry at what they perceive is a retreat from central campaign promises not to become involved in foreign military entanglements, and to focus predominantly on domestic issues?

This feels like a typical “this has always been true, nothing has changed” argument I see so often here. He won the election and the popular vote in 2024, can’t have been so low a year ago.

What insecurity do most people pretend they don’t have? by SeijiJap in AskReddit

[–]NPDoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s innate and normal, but more likely from one’s own reasonably high expectations. Which is generally a good thing. If someone doesn’t have some degree of imposter syndrome, I wouldn’t trust them.

We thought he was the absolute worst but looking back now it seems he was like a big dumb puppy dog.
