Real reason Donald Trump uses random capitals in his social media posts revealed
If you've spent any time at all on the internet you've probably come across some of Donald Trump's social media posts, which are definitely not communicating in the same style as most other world leaders.
While others put out fairly standard statements, Trump does things like declare Iran 'will be hit by the United States of America TWENTY TIMES HARDER than they have been hit thus far'.
Sometimes he writes in ALL CAPS and makes up insults for his enemies, while he also has a habit of signing off his posts with 'thank you for your attention to this matter'.
According to the Daily Mail the reason behind Trump's social media posts being the way they are is because he's got a team helping him, and only a select few get the password to his phone.

They say his executive assistant Natalie Harp is the one writing many of the posts as Trump 'dictates to her'.
Meanwhile, the various social media posts full of AI slop Trump puts online are done by another member of his team, Dan Scavino, who used to work as a golf caddy.
Communications director Steven Cheung is responsible for 'trolling the President's enemies online', according to the Mail's source.
So when you see something from Trump on social media there's a good chance it's come from his mouth but not from his twiddling thumbs, and he's got someone to make those AI creations he shares.
When he was called out for sharing a racist AI generated video of Barack and Michelle Obama depicting them as apes Trump said he'd only seen the first part of the video before 'giving it to the people'.
"Generally, they look at the whole thing but I guess somebody didn't and they posted it," he said, indicating he doesn't do all of his own posts personally.
"We took it down as soon as we found out about it."
The White House denied claims that Harp had gone outside the chain of command for posting on social media, with posts needing to be cleared before the go, saying that she does what Trump asks of her.
The Mail claims that the final decision on what goes on the feed is '100 percent Trump', and that 'he mostly dictates, and then you just shut up' so once he's done talking it's ready to go online.
They also say Trump is 'very particular' about how his feed looks, so if you see punctuation or capital letters out of place with the proper rules of grammar it's because he wants it that way.
If it's there then it's because he wants to put a particular emphasis on it, and words in all caps will jump out to the eyes scanning the walls of text his profiles put out.
"We don't discuss internal deliberations of how the process works, but no other social-media tool has been more effective than Truth," Cheung commented to the Mail.
A psychologist suggested that when Trump used one of his more popular phrases, 'thank you for your attention to this matter', while Cheung said it made the messages 'final and forceful'.
The White House communications director said Trump authors all of his posts, even if it's someone else writing the words out, and there's 'no ambiguation' to what the US president is saying.
