Incredible. Pathetic. Hilarious.

Former President Donald Trump is as addicted to Being Online as the rest of us. But he also happens to be a 76-year-old with an army of sycophants and hangers-on aides and supporters who can do the dirty work of logging on for him.

To wit: Trump's aide, Natalie Harp, reportedly follows him around on the golf course to show him positive articles and posts online. She even sometimes has a printer on-hand for the president, reports The Washington Post.

Harp, a former host with One America News, "often accompanies Trump on his daily golf outings, riding the course in a golf cart equipped with a laptop and sometimes a printer to show him uplifting news articles, online posts or other materials," writes the Post.

If that weren't enough, Trump also has a constant incoming array of positive reinforcement. The Post reports that on quiet days another aide "called around to Trump’s network of allies across the country requesting that they dial the former president to boost his spirits with positive affirmations."

The details came in a much larger piece on the early days of Trump's 2024 presidential run. Basically, the story details the lack of guardrails and organization surrounding Trump and his team these days.

But my goodness, there's nothing funnier than bringing a PRINTER to the golf course. You can imagine an aide scurrying around to show Trump a print-out of a tweet from @trumplovr42069. That's a new level of absurdity.

A right-wing media personality tails Trump in a golf cart, printing out uplifting posts. It's perfect and hilarious.

Things are taking a weird, pathetic turn for the former reality star-turned-president. He's hawking hideous NFT trading cards. He's dining with antisemites and white supremacists. He's having aides read him nice posts. And he's running for president, again.
