Official campaign video says "unified reich" to describe Trump victory.

Campaign blames the intern.

I guess we should be happy they aren't just doubling down and saying "what's wrong with unity" or whatever.

The Intern.

That doesn't explain anything!
Why do you have lil nazi interns? (we know why)

It's like the scene in Dr. Strangelove where he can't control his arm.

    Between that and the fluoride freak out club Dr. Strangelove is MUCH more relevant of a movie than I'd like it to be.

    Sorry. Probably not appropriate to joke about that.

    Peter Seller was a treasure in that movie.

    @futurebird Accurate description of the current American right-wing political zeitgeist.

    @futurebird The claim from Trump’s campaign is that they didn’t create the video but rather just shared it. With the sheer volume of content they post, I can see that as at least somewhat plausible, and if that is what happened then I could see an intern sharing it without noticing what the text in the background actually said.

    It’s definitely a stretch, but it’s admittedly more believable than a lot of their other excuses for this sort of stuff.

    @futurebird And if they win who will be actually in charge in the White House? Those interns will be hired as staffers and they will be the ones putting in place this extremist vision.

    The intern did it
    The wife did it.

    Sounds familiar.

    @futurebird Have they taken it down yet?

    All the fingerpointing means fuck all if they continue to use it.

    @WhiteCatTamer

    They took it down. They do seem to think this one was a bit too far to double down on.

    Just.

    @futurebird Ah yes: “why are you complaining, I stopped blowing the dogwhistle!”

    @futurebird At least they didn't blame their wives.

    @futurebird i've got this whole fake intern character built in my mind. hard up for cash, takes the job, puts in as much subversive trolling as possible. but yeah it probably was someone who genuinely thought it was cool along with whoever did the direction and whoever else signed off on it...

    @spacegeck

    It was just Trump. He liked it and shared it. He's attracted to that stuff.

    @futurebird nod. 😩

    It's never just Trump. It's Trump, it's the ppl in the GOP allowing him to, it's the ppl voting for him. If it would be just Trump he'd go bankrupt like he did with Taj Mahal casino.

    @futurebird It's absolutely not an accident, or an incompetent intern. They know what they are doing.
