We know that the president of the United States isn't afraid of courting controversy, or of what other people think of him. However, his latest Twitter rant is leaving people utterly confused.

The 45th president of the United States has started 2019 by taking to the social networking site to deliver a rant entirely in caps lock.

On Twitter, Trump wrote:

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE, INCLUDING THE HATERS AND THE FAKE NEWS MEDIA! 2019 WILL BE A FANTASTIC YEAR FOR THOSE NOT SUFFERING FROM TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME. JUST CALM DOWN AND ENJOY THE RIDE, GREAT THINGS ARE HAPPENING FOR OUR COUNTRY!

Needless to say, people have been very taken aback by the abrupt message, as well as the manner in which the president chose to deliver it.

Some told him to just calm down. We're tempted to agree.

And others were left feeling bamboozled.

Is this the real president of the United States' Twitter account, or a parody?

Yes, it really was from the president.

Some haters were appreciative of the message.

And others thought it might signify things to come.

Another made a very valid point.

While others noted the irony of being told to 'calm down' by someone using caps in this manner.
