Donald Trump's foray into Politics was always going to be—"Arrive. Raise Hell. Leave."
Many mistakenly thought his campaign would last for just one election cycle. A look back at 5yrs of the Donald Trump Show.

"Freedom 250 is Trump's sport on Trump's lawn on Trump's birthday. Hosted by the man [Dana] who helped Trump get reelected...
So this is private interest, public office and political identity collapsing in one spectacle."

Don’t get distracted by the cage on the White House lawn. It isn’t just a spectacle- UFC Freedom 250 is a microcosm of American politics in 2026 👇🏼

"(2m 37s) It makes sense. Because peace in the Middle East is one thing, but a UFC fight is obviously more important.
It's like how Franklin Roosevelt missed the end of World War II to be at WrestleMania."

"He must be earning $100K... Why bother getting a degree? Why bother becoming a lawyer or some white-collar professional when you can just sit on Twitter for 15 to 20 hours a day, having fun?"

🎙️ "He identified a gap in the market."
On Curtin's Cast, @Dyrenfurth reflects on the sad trajectory of a former left-wing activist who reinvented himself as a right-wing social media grifter.
💥 "He must be earning $100,000 a year from tweets and Facebook. Why bother getting a degree? Why bother becoming a lawyer or some white-collar professional when you can have a lot of fun and make money?"
@EdCoper agrees.
📱 "It's similar to young women setting up an OnlyFans page. You can make $120,000 a month, let alone a year. There's all sorts of rewards out there for people to do whatever the internet rewards."
Algorithms don't reward truth or virtue. They reward attention.

How would you change the incentives so this platform wasn’t like this?
I found this @noUpside episode with @sineadbovell really informative. On the different buckets of influence and the gaming of communication.
