Alyssa Farah, who served as Trump's Director of Strategic Communications, accused her former boss of using a racial "bullhorn" with his rant against "riggers".
Yall know rigger is a real word right? Like, I work with a group of people explicitly called riggers. They rig stuff up. Use cranes, chain falls, shit like that?
He is racist, but not clever in any way, I think he meant a made up word in his bullshit accusation, I donāt think he was trying to be racist here.
Someone else said it and he repeated it, or someone else wrote the tweet. It was absolutely intended to be racist.

Trump is using a dogwhistle though.
Yeah itās also a common term in the bdsm community for people who like tying people up. But he definitely isnāt referring to them.
Some people donāt get the benefit of the doubt when it comes to dog whistles.
Fair point, but I guess I meant, itās a word that doesnāt have a definition attached to it that has anything to do with how he used it.
It is probably something he heard somewhere and he liked how close it sounds.
