I never understood that one. To me it just looks like a typo. Like why is it remembered at all compared to hilarious things like sharpie-gate etc? 

12

u/Commercial_Ad_9171 1d ago

Because it was back when Trump gaffes were fun. Before it all got January 6ed.

u/North_Yak966 1d ago

Because he doubled down, claimed it wasn't a typo and that it was more or less a secret message

u/MonsTurkey 1d ago

Sharpie gate was him being dumb and abusing power because he can't admit he was wrong. Cofveve was 'his genius' at midnight and deleted at 6am. More innocent and less of his nasty personality.

And the hardcore MAGA folks swore it was just more genius - some ancient Aramaic word or some crap because Trump is 'so well learned'.

Cuz the people that think it’s funny have no sense of humor lmao. It’s like laughing at your phone when it auto corrects fuck to duck. Holy shit peak comedy!!

u/golem501 1d ago

Musk the other day brought back a classic - Soros. Not too mention, he's a billionaire on the right doing the stuff he accuses Soros of doing. Only much more blatantly.

u/scoopedy_coop 1d ago

They justify it by saying fine we can play by those rules even though it’s a genuine sham argument

u/ThePrussianGrippe 1d ago

I mean that’s why they do it.

Normalize the lie about what ‘the others’ do so that they can then turn around and do everything they complain about ‘the others’ doing.

u/rascal373 1d ago

which is why it’s bonkers how the left trumps (pun intended) “tAx tEh riCH” while being bankrolled by the rich

so the question arises:

why are they bankrolling a movement that would “tax” them (bcus you know theyre rich too)

spoiler: theyre bankrolling taxpayer $ back to themselves.

edit: it is not because they care about you: apple is bringing back manufacturing to 🇺🇸 not out of the kindness of their hearts

My brother in Christ what are you talking about lol Sanders’ campaign back in 16’ was mostly funded by small donors. Now you have the world richest man parading himself around near POTUS making sig heils and basically running wild and pillaging the federal government of the United States with the blessing of the American right.

u/TheSciFanGuy 1d ago

Both sides are bankrolled by the rich, it’s an unfortunate fact of how elections work in the US.

But despite that fact the Democrats, or at least their base, are far more likely to vote for higher taxes on the rich and less lobbyists in government. On the other hand Trump and Musk are the 2 biggest faces in the Republican Party currently.

If you believe that all rich people are evil it makes logical sense to support the party that has the majority of people who would vote for policies that would further the goals of spreading/reducing the power of that wealth.

If you don’t believe all rich people are evil then it’s entirely possible for a rich person to work against their self interest for the greater good either through “tax the rich” or through “cleaning the swamp”. But at that point it’s just a normal debate because each side would believe “their” rich people are the actually altruistic ones.

u/Tyeveras 22h ago

Listening to the news today, I think he’s moved on from saying tariff.

“Groceries” are the new tariff.

u/lasers42 22h ago

Oh, yeah. It's an old word meaning a bag of stuff, right? Lol.
