It's so weird that this is the statement that makes some of his supporters question his sanity or ability to form and communicate coherent thoughts...I would say there's a trail of breadcrumbs of much more damning statements going back as far as you're willing to look, but it's more like a trail of roach-infested bakeries.

When the road is made of breadcrumbs, you can't really make them out anymore

Where are you getting this from?

[–] seth@lemmy.world 18 points 7 months ago (1 children)

From this, but maybe I'm inferring wrongly by connecting the "comments were negative" with the headline?

The former president said earlier in the day that people throughout his life have compared his looks to those of the King of Rock and Roll. Even on Truth Social, the ex-president's own social media network, the comments were negative in some instances.

Oh I see. I guess I figured these were plenty of non supporters on truth social. Even if just these to troll. So I didn't read that as supporters attacking him for it.
