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.

    By explicitly implied, you mean he laughed and didn’t explicitly deny it when asked, then changed the subject. Also keep in mind he’s been asked this question publicly probably once a week for the last 20 years.

    I mean, it’s possible. I’ll just wait until he actually confirms he’s exploring it.

      It’s weird that you’re implying you know he’s answered the question weekly(going hard with the hyperbole) but have obviously never seen him give said answer.

        He’s been asked all the time since the George W. Bush administration. Incidentally the comments sections for The Daily Show have been filled with comments about it since their videos were first put on YouTube. Here’s a random time he was asked. I found it in 5 seconds.

          Yes! And a whole movie was made and released based on the idea of someone like him running. Probally largely due to this strong, long present sentiment. It stars Robin Williams.
