I thought my sentence above the fake tweet would be enough to hint at the satire, but it is very close to what we have come to expect.

If it is, it sounds like his thought patterns are frightening if that's even possible.


I assume every tweet is basically one thought + 1 comment aimed at multiple.

This tweet
my son did good,
no one know where
Biglie–st son (big league est, WHAT?)
Russia Obama fault.
Obama is a loser.

That's 5 things mixed up in one, he's losing his mind

First thought was, he accomplished to get a lot into 140 characters, he doesn't have the brainpower.

But you nailed the thought pattern

And I kept thinking of one of your satire posts where someone took offense because you had neglected to mention it was fake.
