The Atlantic's Charlie Warzel recently spent a significant amount of time exploring former President Donald Trump's posts on Truth Social — and came to the conclusion that the American media is not conveying just how dark and disturbing they have become.
In his latest article, Warzel noted that while the occasional Trump post breaks through into mainstream coverage -- such as his instantly infamous all-caps rant about hating pop star Taylor Swift -- the sheer volume of QAnon-style posts that Trump throws up on his page on a given day overwhelms the media's ability to sufficiently convey their contents.
"On their own, each of these posts is concerning and more than a little sad," he notes. "But consumed in the aggregate, they take on a different meaning, offering a portrait of a man who appears frequently incoherent, internet-addicted, and emotionally volatile—even by the extreme standard that Trump has already set."
Warzel goes on to argue that Trump not only seems content on spreading MAGA propaganda, but on consuming it as well, to the point where he suggests some kind of intervention would be appropriate were he anyone else but the former president of the United States.

"On his own website, Trump doesn’t just appear unfit for the highest office in the land; he seems small, embittered, and under the influence of the kind of online outrage that usually consumes those who have been or feel alienated by broad swaths of society," he writes.
"It’s not (just) that Trump seems unpresidential — it’s that he seems like an unwell elderly man posting AI slop for an audience of bots on Facebook. Imagine that, instead of Donald Trump’s, you were looking at the feed of a relative. What would you say or do? Whom would you call?"
The bottom line, concludes Warzel, is that "the election is 41 days away, and Trump appears as unstable as ever."
