If Trump's Sitting in His Hush-Money Trial, Who the Heck Is Posting?

Donald Trump fired off an all-caps rant on Truth Social Friday about his presidential immunity Supreme Court case - despite sitting in the courtroom for his hush-money trial as the posts went up.

Trump complained bitterly about the importance of presidential immunity to protect sitting and former presidents, one of his go-to lines of argument as insists that he should be shielded from criminal prosecutions.

Trump simply can't stop posting, despite having been warned by the judge presiding over the trial to stay off his phone, both inside and outside the courtroom. And it's starting to hurt his case: On Thursday, Judge Juan Merchan refused to provide Trump's lawyers with a list of the prosecution's first three witnesses.

This isn't the first time Trump's account has mysteriously posted while the former president himself was indisposed. During his defamation trial in January, his account made 30 posts disparaging E. Jean Carroll while he sat in court without access to his phone.

If it's not Trump behind these morning social media screeds, then who is it? It may be Dan Scavino, former White House deputy chief of staff and current adviser to the Trump campaign. Scavino ghostwrote many of Trump's tweets during his time as president, and even though Trump no longer posts on X, formerly known as Twitter, the two maintain a close relationship that may include sharing access to Trump's social media accounts. Trump recently joked that Scavino "could say, 'I don't like you voters, I don't like you at all. I'm fed up with you. I can't stand you.' And that's the end of my political career."

That sure explains the uptick in his use of the English language. It's easy to tell those that are legit. He can't even spell his name correctly.

Can't you schedule a tweet? He probably queues them up from the golden crapper that morning
