    The overall structure and generous use of Oxford commas here tells me this was most definitely not written by Trump.

    It’s hilarious that whenever he needs to write something serious and/or remotely articulate, his team calls upon a slightly smarter, marginally more competent person to write it up and post it.

      I just assume anything remotely coherent, albeit still insane, was written by Stephen Miller.

    The Murdochs don’t own Fox News / NewsCorp. They have control over it, but don’t own it.

      Fox News is owned by the fox corporation. You’re correct, they don’t have majority ownership but

      The company is controlled by the Murdoch family via a family trust with 39.6% ownership share, and by Rupert Murdoch himself to the effect of almost 40%.

      It’s a pretty big portion of that big old shareholder vote

      I think he wants to impose certain level of legal authority this way. Like, his words are the official words of the USA or something. He then promptly interjects his own message with capitalized words, abuse of commas, and like others point out, toddler language, so his base still can recognize the bigger parts. The final result is, as expected, shit. Is the inconsistency what really bothers me in his style.

    Is the letter circulating anywhere that isn’t behind a paywall? Or a summary of the content?

      His website calls tweets “truths” so the person posting the pic changed it to lies since nothing from the orange turd is ever a “truth”.

    This is way too articulate to have been written by Trump.
