New York Times Piece Claims Trump is Deliberately Inserting Typos Into His Tweets as Secret “Code” to His Supporters
KEK!
A New York Times opinion piece claims that President Trump is deliberately inserting typos into his tweets in order to send a secret “code” to his supporters.
Remind me, who are the conspiracy theorists again?
“One of Trump’s tweets looked like it had a typo. In fact, it was probably code to his most extreme supporters,” tweeted the NYT, with a link to the article by Emily Dreyfuss.
The article claims that Trump’s mistakes in his tweets are “strategic” dog whistles to his “network of right-wing operatives and activists.”

Specifically, it suggests that Trump is deliberately misspelling words and hashtags in order to get around Twitter’s increasingly draconian censorship, including in stories that relate to the ‘Biden crime family’.
So, even if that’s the case, not really a secret “code” at all.
Respondents reacted by pointing out the irony of a publication like the NY Times engaging in such baseless conspiracy theories while accusing Trump supporters of doing the same.
“Good heavens. The is MAnon material (Media Anon). For as much as you make fun of so-called, conspiracy theories,” remarked one.
“I mean how on earth can this actually be an article… thought this would be something @TheBabylonBee would post,” added another.
