From this, but maybe I'm inferring wrongly by connecting the "comments were negative" with the headline?

The former president said earlier in the day that people throughout his life have compared his looks to those of the King of Rock and Roll. Even on Truth Social, the ex-president's own social media network, the comments were negative in some instances.

Oh I see. I guess I figured these were plenty of non supporters on truth social. Even if just these to troll. So I didn't read that as supporters attacking him for it.

Biden is on Truth Social. And, at least at one point, he had more followers on it than Trump.

And yes, Biden uses it to troll Trump.

So, basically, interpreting that comment as saying supporters are attacking him for this doesn't hold water.

I mean it may be true. That person who asked where Ivanka is and why she isn't doing anything about it sounds like a Trump supporter.

How so? I don't see it.

“OMFG [Ivanka Trump where the hell are you?!?!?!? Politics aside do something FFS,” the user, Jil, wrote.

Does that really sound like someone who isn't planning to vote for Trump?

No, not at all. "Politics aside" is used when you disagree with someone on politics.

So you think a Biden voter would want Ivanka to step in to make Trump a better candidate?

Why would she want that?

So you think a Biden voter would want Ivanka to step in to make Trump a better candidate?

No, I think it's just an insult.

So a Biden voter is insulting Trump by begging his daughter to help him with his campaign?

She didn't say anything about his campaign. If we're talking about him having dementia, which is what this whole thing is about, then Jil is probably telling her to get help with that. But the reality is that Jil probably doesn't care and this is just an insult.

I just don't understand how asking Ivanka to "do something FFS" is either an insult or a request for medical help. Neither of those claims make any sense to me.

The Trump fans mostly follow Trump’s personal account which is automatically added to your follow list when you sign up there, they don’t have much reason to seek out the Team Trump campaign account. Biden’s audience is tiny on that platform compared to Trump’s audience.
