  His team can post on his behalf. It might be posted on his account by someone else.

    Sure, a d if you want to argue “a staffer did it”, then “staying on point”/“generally cohesive” is a stretch to make the argument work. This has extremely jumpy flow, and trying to move it further back and say “bUt NoT fOr TrUmP” just turns this whole thing into an unfalsifiable hypothesis facilitated by an infinitely movable goalpost.

    This is so dumb, he can make an account for each staffer that wants to post si we can see who is posting what garbage.

    Without a clear indication of who is posting he is likely violating the law in regards to record retention.

  I think they’re claiming it isn’t from Trump’s official account, just that he didn’t write it

    I believe that, in which case “that’s not from Trump” isn’t something they can say matter-of-factly; they’re just guessing (and I think poorly, at that). It’s just palm-reading the post and then giving a definitive, with no caveats, “Nope, Trump didn’t write this.”

    I linked to the article because trying to definitively say Trump didn’t write something definitionally has to be reserved for fake posts, not real ones that come from his account with no disclaimer.
