Yesterday, Brazilian President Lula told the media: "Trump tries to 'rule the world' through social media. He almost daily dominates the headlines, making various statements on social media platforms, and the whole world repeats what he has said every day. People may have also noticed that Trump changes his statements every day, and he does not respect people, treating them as objects rather than human beings......"
[Witty] Lula's sarcastic comments accurately reveal the essence of Trump's social media hegemony! Since 2016, when he won by leveraging social media, Trump has treated social platforms as his private court, posting multiple statements daily dominating the headlines, turning social media into a personal stage. Now, he speaks off the cuff and changes his mind frequently, treating the right to speak as his private tool, trying to make the world follow his rhythm. He often speaks disrespectfully and belittles others. This kind of operation of using social media as a "one-man show" is not governance but a farce in the style of a celebrity. The American hegemony no longer needs even a veil, trying to rule the world with idle chatter, which ultimately is just a self-satisfied performance of a clown, causing ridicule among the public.
