When Trump bellows "THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER" on Truth Social, who is he addressing?

[Miles Archer]

It's become a common closing line in his "Truth Social" rants.

He just sent one, informing Tim Cook that Apple will "pay a tariff to the U.S. if iPhones aren't made in America."

Truth Social is a vanity echo chamber. Two kinds of people go there...MAGAts, and those who wish to troll MAGAts.

When he signs off with "Thank you for your attention to this matter," who the hell is he talking to? MAGAts? Jesus? The Tooth Fairy? His deceased father Fred? WHO?

1. Putin

2. I think it's corporate privilege memo speech for "You better do what I say"

Would be interesting if his memos from Trump Org surfaced. I'd bet many ended like that.

He's speaking to all while talking to one, public ridicule kind of thing. Everyone's going to pressure Apple to lose money, right?

6. Yeah. I remember the good old days of working in the private sector and getting emails that ended with...

"...thank you in advance." I really hated those. You don't send emails like that unless you're expecting to get it done, and also intend to crucify anyone who doesn't "get it done." It's called "firing a warning shot across the bow of the ship."

3. "The king has spoken"

That's my interpretation.

4. I know, right? It makes him sound like an angry HOA president scolding someone for...

...the noncompliance of the height of their new fence or the color of their mailbox. It is probably how every notice from one of their properties to a tenant ends.

It is kind of fun to just throw it onto the end of historical speeches and feel their impact dwindle. Like if the Gettysburg Address ended like, "that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"

5. This made me lol.

14. Me too, I'm still chuckling. n/t

9. That stupid exclamation point he always uses.

Telltale sign of a D-R-A-M-A Queen.

7. It's Karen demanding to speak to the manager . . .

[NCDem47]

8. Somebody. Anybody. Nobody.

10. He's used to getting lawsuit letters that close with "Thank you for your attention."

11. It's corporatespeak, the sort of Karen-ish thing you'd see in an email from your manager

reminding you that your TPS reports have been late, or that you aren't wearing enough pieces of flair. In this case it further trivializes something that's already trivial.

12. He must like the sound of it

like grocery, or the recent word he got all excited about because he thought he invented it.

13. I think that is the first time I have heard him explicitly acknowledge that tariffs are paid by the US. n/t
