I feel like a lot of his pronouncements can be explained simply & directly by looking at who the last person he spoke to was, as he tends to just repeat whatever they told him, even if it completely contradicts what he was saying 10 minutes prior.
duxup•5h ago
He has outright said that he went home and Melania told him something so he decided to do a thing.

I suspect the same goes for whatever he runs across on Twitter. Some of his firings have been strangely specific and it seems like it's just whatever meme like thing that got traction with the right twitter troll at the right time ...

Heck his own comments in this story:

>I hear so many stories about ‘We’re not going to allow their students’” to come in

No apparent awareness that he is the source of the stories :P

Is it possible he’s getting paid by China somehow. They have unusually low tariff rates compared to what you might expect, and he keeps putting off the TikTok ban that is legally required.
xqcgrek2•4h ago
TikTok's algorithm favors him. The moment it doesn't, it's banned.
pavel_lishin•4h ago
I'm sure he's getting paid off by plenty of folks, but I think it's statistically more likely that someone on his staff is being paid off by China, and managed to corner him for five minutes to load this soundbite into his head.

I mean a bit egoistic I guess but can any of these students output such an amazing Chinese song (what im' listening to atm): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugVNDvnDDpA&list=RDugVNDvnDD...

^ Great singer, look up musicians reacting to her (i'm so killing my karma here lol...).

Boy's consistent. Just not consistent in the manner you're expecting. He's real good at profiting from the flow of events.
