Trump Roasted for Epic Freudian Slip on American Democracy
Donald Trump is either trying to make Pennsylvania sports fans hate him or send cryptic QAnon cues—or perhaps he just needs to hire a proofreader. In an email to his supporters on Monday night, Trump included a fun typo that caught the attention of many of his critics. “Working at McDonalds, a town hall, a Stealers [sic] game—no one is working harder than President Trump to Make America Great Again!” the campaign newsletter read. Trump is trying, and thanks to the typo seriously failing, to paint himself as a fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers, named for the city’s steel industry (an industry that Trump ultimately harmed through his tariffs in his previous term). He even went as far as to make a strange AI-generated photo of himself sporting the number 47 jersey. Though the number probably is supposed to refer to him being the forty-seventh president, for real fans it brought to mind ex-Steelers player Mel Blount, who endorsed Kamala Harris. Similarly, Elon Musk caught flack online after trying to root for both the Steelers and the Philadelphia Eagles. Trump’s “Stealers” flub was seized upon by Representative Adam Schiff, who Trump recently threatened, calling him “the enemy within.” The Democratic representative snarkily called the mistake an “authoritarian slip.” If the typo was in fact an accident, and not a call to “stop the steal,” perhaps Trump should reconsider his call to destroy the Department of Education, which helps make sure the nation’s children learn how to spell.
