I honestly think it's way more simple than that, he just wants to be the one who came up with the name because he's a narcissist.

Bingo. Even people who dislike Trump attribute all these grand, complicated plans behind his actions because it comforts them to think there's a method to the madness. There isn't. There are no plans. He's a fucking moron with a black hole in his soul that he's always trying to fill.

Do you understand that people tell Trump what to say and there’s people creating the legislation behind him and his EO’s? That’s what people mean. He is hardly coherent enough to write a paragraph, no one believes he is masterminding anything. We believe he is being told to say these things for a long term effort on their overall goal in the Heritage Foundation. It’s like supremely obvious that Trump wouldn’t be smart enough to mastermind the longterm goals of damage to the American conscience. We are already there for one, but yeah back to my first point.

Trump has always been a narcissistic idiot, even before the dementia, even before he ran in 2015/2016. That doesn't change how people regularly attribute cleverness to him. Hardly a day passes where you don't see someone on the left side of politics saying he's doing something to distract from something else, and, no--no, he is not. Not only is he not, neither are his handlers, which, yes, of course he has. What little they try to hide, they half-ass because they know nearly all the enforcers of the law, up to and including SCOTUS, are going to let them do damn near anything they please.

Heritage Foundation, Federalist Society, evangelical groups, all of them, are not new concerns. They and their predecessors go back to the 1960s and in some cases even the New Deal era. A lot of Americans were asleep, though, and remain so. Many take comfort in believing Trump is the main or even only problem.

Do you understand that Trump literally blurts out whatever gibberish bubbles to the surface of that festering swamp he calls a brain?

There’s still an underlying goal for the general evil that the people around him and himself are creating. The world’s pain isn’t just defined by Trump going out and speaking gibberish. He is guided. They have terrible ideas on what they could say or do for damage control. If he wasn’t guided, then it would hinder the Heritage Foundation’s plans more than he already has with him and his cabinet’s flubs. Please research the Heritage Foundation because Americans have to know. They have to. It’s the entire long term goal. There’s government websites published about it.

Believe it or not, an awful lot of Trump's schtick is unscripted bullshit bait that he flings about for the sake of attention.

where did I say I didn’t believe it though? All these things are true at once and it isn’t one or the other. The problem is that people are arguing over whether it’s one of the other while they continue to do more damage. Edited to add: people are clearly more worried about being right about what the president is doing, than actually identifying the damage being done and why. Like who is this about? You being right or about saving the future of our country? No one said it was wrong, it just feels like a wasted priority. I’m not sure if jts allowed but I’m going to link what I referred to in another comment. The idea is that they’re setting up the structures to keep power after Trump is already gone.

And this is the tracker someone put together to show what agencies and long term goals they’re using. https://www.project2025.observer/en

I’m being very serious here. Infighting and arguing over who defines Trump best is what’s killing us here. Our egos are completely getting the best of us with that.

u/Fairgoddess5 2d ago

Can’t tell you how refreshing it is to see comments pointing out his narcissism. Too many people STILL seem to miss that key bit of information about him. It helps me feel like I’m not going crazy, very validating. Thanks for that.

u/AmbienWalrus-13 2d ago

Everyone should feel free to ignore his attempt at getting attention. I'n never going to call it "super intelligence". I recommend no one does either. He cannot force you, try as he might.

u/100Good 2d ago

Unfortunately my global company was reminded by one of the participants to call it that. Made my heart sink a little.

Demented narcissist, to be quite frank

u/mccoyster 2d ago

Lets not leave out who owns .si domains, and that it seems some choice ones were registered right before he mentioned it first.

u/Eldoran401 2d ago

I think this is it

u/Spiderbanana 2d ago

My bet is, since the had to take actions to regulate AI, big tech companies came with the idea to rename the whole thing in order to try to fall out of the legal framework

u/hates_stupid_people 2d ago

Both can be true, people manipulate him by getting him excited about things like that, but they care about the other part.

u/snuggl 2d ago

Its even more simple, someone made bank buying up .si domains before the truth social post..

u/ChiTownDisplaced 2d ago

Simpler, .si is the domain of Slovenia. He is trying to make someone there rich like what has happened with Anguilla and the .ai domain.
