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

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?
