I just saw someone try to argue that a passing Trump reference to "88" of something in a speech was _surely_ a reference to "88" as a white nationalist shorthand for "Heil Hitler."

Dammit people. We have hundreds upon hundreds of solid, legitimate, sane things to accuse Trump of that don't boil down to webkook apophenia. Do we HAVE to dabble in numerology? Does it SOUND like Trump to couch his racism in codes and riddles and not just blurt it out?

We've gotta be better than this.😾​

I mean, FFS, I could probably find an instance of Theresa May using "42" in a speech. Does that mean she's a closet Hitchhiker's fan? 🙄​

@zebratron2084 I respectfully disagree. I feel he does do dog whistles independently of him practically saying it out loud, he really is that gross.
