      The texts:

      “My friend, We are totally in line on Syria. We can do great things on Iran. I do not understand what you are doing on Greenland."

      “Let us try to build great things, i can set up a g7 meeting after Davos in Paris on thursday afternoon. I can invite the ukrainians, the danish, the syrians and the russians in the margins. let us have a dinner together in Paris together on thursday before you go back to the us. Emmanuel.”

        There’s no way Trump understands screenshots. So at minimum, if true, the posting of these are a collaboration with a handler.
