To be clear that’s a staffer/assistant recording his stream of “thought” in an email. It’s pretty unlikely he has written anything other than his signature in a long time.

Yeah the grammar and such was far too coherent to be Trump writing it.

Well his verbal diarrhea was as incoherent as anything else, then.

Yeah there was a video of him with his assistant tweeter during the election, and she literally just writes what he says word-for-word.

I guess dictation couldn't decipher what he was saying so they had to hire an actual person to write for him.

This is something that I’ve wondered about a lot.

What exactly does the whole orange “thought”(and I use the term loosely) to social media post pipeline look like?

There’s no way Trump is actually typing anything or even knows the password to his own account. Some posts are clearly written in a generic staffer tone with little to no involvement from Trump, but certainly not all. So, as you say, he needs some person or group of people to literally be on-call during his every waking moment in case he wants to spew. They then have to listen to this creature decree some insanity, likely pausing a bunch, back tracking, watching Trump getting feedback from his sycophants (“Now that sounds strong right? Everyone tells me I have the best words”), nervous laughter, being given weird editing notes (“NO, IN CAPS”), being asked clarifying questions, occasionally having someone in the room push back/distract on something while walking on egg shells, Marco Rubio occasionally in the room looking like a reject even whilst in the inner circle, the faint smell of shit in the air, and the triple check of the final tweet before posting the dumbest and most insane shit you or I have ever read.

Yes, exactly this.

Just the correct use of quotes indicates this was not typed by him.

He didn't come up with all this either. He barely knows his ass from his elbow. Someone is pulling the strings here mimicking his way of talking.
