So Trump tweeted out (more likely not Trump himself but someone handling his account), a 14 word phrase with 88 characters.

There was also the recent FB ad buy that featured a symbol used in concentration camps and the first paragraph was also 14 words, and there were 88 ad buys.

This most recent tweet also included two words with capital Hs right next to each other.

This is clearly deliberate. For more context


Original trump tweet:

This is a battle to save the Heritage, History, and Greatness of our Country! #MAGA2020

We had a thread on this yesterday where the OP basically made the same argument.

It was rightfully locked because this is silly. He's an open racist. He isn't using secret messages.

He is an open racist and his admin consistently also uses coded messages. It's pretty well documented and there are too many instances for it to be fake, including straight up quoting nazi verbiage on official government sites.

well I missed it, but I don't see how it's silly. It's not a coincidence at this point but yes I get that he's openly racist so maybe it doesn't matter at this point.

It does seem like looking for patterns that aren't there and getting lucky when there are. But I think the imagery and such has been repeated enough times to have a conversation if its dog whistling

He's calling Black Lives Matter painted on the street a symbol of hate.

Do you really think he would care to code this stuff? He doesn't.

He has capitalized random incorrect words that shouldn't be capitalized his entire time as president. I think people are looking for messages and seeing them when they want to. The whole "two words with capital H's" is really a huge stretch in this specific tweet.

I'd also say this functions as signaling to hardcore organized hate groups, the rest of his open racism is targeted towards his more simpleton racist base.

it's pretty precise for it to be a coincidence, but I'd rather not dwell on this sort of signaling because his actions are much more loudly evil. people who still support him won't stop supporting him because of this

Trump is a white supremacist, but I think that Trump himself is too stupid and impatient to count out 14 words and 88 characters.

I could totally see someone on his team who has access doing it though.

There's very likely something to all of this. It goes back to that Fox blond lady whose name I have happily forgotten heiling the giant photo of Trump before turning it into an unconvincing wave at the 2016 RNC convention. There's been tons of coded behaviour since. For example, Stephen Miller would definitely be capable of this, and it's in-character. I wonder if he gets access to the twitter account.

But it's not Trump. Trump just types his racist shit out in all-caps with a '!' or '???' at the end.

I just don't think anyone around him is clever enough for this. Much less his idiotic vapid base. There's no need to try to play 4d chess here. There's not even 100% consensus he's not illiterate.

How much should be looked into this all comes down to if he himself wrote out the text as it is or if someone else did.

Eh, that ghoul Miller might as well have a doctorate in white supremacy.

Edit: There is 0% chance Trump did this. But again, maybe someone like Miller. But again again, hardly matters.

Yes? He does both. He is openly racist. He uses coded language/dog-whistles as well.

What makes him racist isn't using dogwhistle terms. It is the fact that he thinks there is nothing wrong with the terms. He isn't doing it to be 'slick' as people say. He just doesn't think there is anything wrong with it. He wouldn't mask his true intent. He's the type of guy who is never wrong about anything. It would be an affront to him to censor himself to the degree of using coded language on purpose like what is being suggested.

Funny how trump picks 3 losing and terrible groups to become a member: confederate losers, Nazi losers, gop losers. The Shitty trifecta, if you will.

All fucking trash heaps that will continue to lose for as long as they are around.

Don't be so patronizing. The 14 words in the context of what he's actually saying:

"We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children"

"This is a battle to save the Heritage, History, and Greatness of our Country! "

Are the capitalized G and C just to throw people off?

He's posting pro white supremacy shit. Openly. He isn't sending secret H H codes out to people while tweeting people shouting White Power!

14 words is a really common number of words in a sentence.

Trump can barely read.
