Former President Donald Trump, who bragged about knowing lots of words, the best words, apparently couldn’t find more than three words in his repertoire as he released a random statement, with no context or explanation behind it.
“BULLIES NEVER FIGHT!” read Trump’s statement promoted by spokesperson Liz Harrington on Twitter, triggering a slush of mockery across social media.
Many people said they were confused about what Trump even meant. Others simply mocked the former president for his incoherence, with one writer suggesting we need to create a “sad, old man shaking a fist at the sky” translator to understand his rants.
Others trolled the former president for being reduced to communicating through this medium, now that he has been banished from nearly all major forms of social media.
New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman speculated that Trump’s statement was a reference to Andrew Cuomo, who is resigning as governor of New York over sexual harassment allegations.
Check some of the reactions:
Trying and failing to comprehend this very short sentence, which just seems like a random collage of English words. "CASSEROLE HOUNDSTOOTH KICKFLIP!" https://t.co/LUwWFuW8ZJ

No, Bullies bully others to fight for them.
Example: 6 January

Trump is guilty. He tried to overthrow the government. It’s a simple case. He stood to benefit. He lied for months. Gathered violent militias and hate groups and confederates in DC. Whipped them up with violent rhetoric and sent them to the Capitol to attack. And they did-for him

You know how Key and Peele came up with Luther, Obama’s anger translator? Can we get a “sad, old man shaking a fist at the sky” translator for Trump? pic.twitter.com/Dey07E5rs8

Wow. He finally confessed what a coward he is. And admitted he sent his supporters to the Capitol to do the dirty work for him. Progress!

@twitter @TwitterSafety @TwitterSupport since potus 45 had his account suspended, why do you let his spokesperson do his tweeting for him? #Suspend @RealLizUSA

LLLMFAO. He's right! Remember how he walked out, slump-shouldered and beaten, in Helsinki? With Putin preening alongside him? I mean, I thought someone was going to run up to him and offer a cane! Goodness! And then he was "right there with" his 'militia' terrorists on 1/6.🤣
