    Yes. Many people have tried to explain it. Parts of the qult are claiming that it’s a cure for the covid vaccine, (Co)Cobalt, (V)Vanadium, and two (Fe) iron.

      Nah, its simple and I literally just explained it (as evinced by [the context of] his tweet)

        That’s what actually happened, yes. That doesn’t mean that many people who worship him have not tried to find an explanation that means it was completely intentional, and I think it’s worth knowing about how far people will go in his defence, even when it requires them to twist themselves into pretzels to defend something that would have been completely fine if he had just laughed it off.

          I will never understand. Like how does anyone seriously politicize something that random and banal

            Trump is a narcissist, he is incapable of admitting any flaw or fault, be it in an accidentally sent typo tweet, or letting the experts address a public health issue rather than pushing himself to the forefront and suggesting putting sterilizing lights into the body.

              He actually did in his ShoppingChannel commercial today, the one with the Trump trading cards or whatever.

              He referred to all the muscles the “artists” gave him that he definitely doesn’t have IRL.

              I was like “Holy Shit, did he just like self-deprecate for the first time in his life?!”. I almost fell off my dinosaur!

                Yeah, I caught that in a video from a content creator I watch. Not sure what to make of it, still thinking about it. Actual personal growth would be pretty surprising from the guy who kneecapped the pandemic response because he was worried he’d smear his makeup.
