very high he more or less acts like a child desperate for attention

if he throws a tantrum against the military industrial complex I'm all for it

Literally a cynical take on his part. Probably saw the map of countries supporting Gaza and realized they have more people to potentially worship him

I don't think it's calculated I think he's just really dumb and this is him throwing a tantrum because he isn't getting enough attention

if the twitter fiasco proved anything it's that we shouldn't assume he's playing 4d chess

He's being contrarian because no press is bad press.

Maybe China is twisting his balls and telling him to strategically shitpost or they shut down his Tesla factory

I don't think the Chinese state would do that because they are actual adults busy running a country

I don't think the Chinese even view twitter as a vital part of running a nation

The adults in the room who get shit done, but Chinese

That is legitimately what China is. They have 2 year, 5 year, 10 year, 20 year, 50 year, and 100 year plans that they're working on. Meanwhile the US is spending its 1 year plan undoing the work of the previous 1 year plan.
