Trump Campaign Rally's Psychological Mishap Attributed to Sarah Palin
In August 2025, a tweet from Matthew A. McIntosh, the administrator of a publication, sparked controversy when it was misattributed to Sarah Palin. The tweet, posted on an unspecified date, expressed skepticism about Donald Trump's awareness or decision-making abilities.
The tweet read, "I can see President Trump getting the wool pulled over his eyes from my front porch," which was interpreted as suggesting Trump might be misled or manipulated, especially in the context of his upcoming meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska.
This meeting, held on August 15, 2025, at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, focused on discussions to end Russia's war in Ukraine. The event drew significant media attention and fact-checking scrutiny, reflecting its geopolitical significance and the contentious context surrounding the US-Russia relationship.
The misattributed tweet added to the controversy by publicly questioning Trump’s judgment ahead of a diplomatically sensitive meeting. However, it was later clarified that the tweet was not a slip of the truth as per the information provided, and that it did not refer to Trump's actions but was posted by Matthew McIntosh himself.
The public reaction to the tweet and Trump's actions was mixed. While some supported Palin's critical stance, others mocked Trump for his apparent confusion or gaffe about Alaska and Russia. Social media users sarcastically highlighted this mistake, calling it embarrassing and an excessive favor to Putin, indicating widespread skepticism about Trump's judgment and intentions.
Despite the initial misattribution, it is important to note that Sarah Palin is not currently working for Donald Trump's election, contrary to some reports. Palin has not tweeted about condoning Trump's actions, and the original tweet in question was later corrected to state that she condemned Trump's actions. The original tweet was eventually deleted.
Matthew McIntosh, the administrator of the publication, has profiles on various social media platforms, including Facebook, LinkedIn, X, Bluesky, Threads, Tumblr, Mastodon, Reddit, Pinterest, Messenger, Snapchat, WhatsApp, and Pocket. However, he does not have a profile on Pocket Messenger or Snapchat as per the list provided. His website is available for viewing.
In summary, a misattributed tweet from Matthew McIntosh added to the controversy surrounding Donald Trump's Alaska-Russia summit. While the tweet was initially interpreted as a criticism of Trump, it was later clarified that it was not a slip of the truth and did not refer to Trump's actions. The public reaction to the tweet and the summit was mixed, with some supporting Palin's critical stance and others mocking Trump's handling and statements about Alaska and Russia.
