This is totally normal, particularly on the day before Thanksgiving. Nothing of the vain or egotistical, let alone deranged in this latest suggestion by Donald Trump. Trump is evidently bored and so he decided that he needed to spice things up a bit and suggest that the Grand Old Party, the Republican party, be named after himself. And no, Trumpublican is too obvious. Even Don Junior came up with that years ago and he’s not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Trump wants it to be a little shorter. Here’s his idea.
My vote is “Tubpublican,” which would capture Donald’s fine physique in the name of the party. And let’s face it, the pronounciation is going to be TUBpublican anyhow, so why not put in the U and make it look right? Unless U Really Don’t Care how it looks and we get that as well. The Daily Beast tells us this is linguistically profound.
The last of these options would require MAGA supporters to master an impressive feat of pronunciation known to language experts as the “voiceless labial-alveolar plosive.”
They say that to utter a “t” and “p” sound simultaneously, without any intervening vowels, those identifying as “Tpublicans” would need to press their lips together and place their tongue against the ridge behind their teeth.
It requires blocking off the flow of air through the nose and pushing the breath forcefully outward, without activating the vocal chords.
This is very hard to do. Perhaps accounting for why the “voiceless labial-alveolar plosive” is ordinarily only heard in the high mountains of the North Caucasus, certain parts of rural Ghana, and on a remote island off the coast of Papua New Guinea.
The MAGAs will be cutting off their air saying “TUBpublican?” All the better. Maybe the MAGAs should say Tubpulican twenty times fast and see who remains standing and breathing, if anybody.
Just another normal day in the era of Trump. Expect these episodes to become more numerous and closer together. That’s the way it is with dementia.
Trumplican
the magas have been cutting off their air since long before they were magas. which explains alot.
Repugnantans.
“People say” Putin is pushing for it to be TASS – Trump’s Asshole Sucking Sycophants which let’s face it sums up what the GOP became under his rule.
There are plenty of existing words.
Morons, idiots, imbeciles…
Trumpty-Dumpty’s claim that he has ‘the very best words’ is of course bullshit, especially since all the WORST words apply to him!
Trepublicans.
