You’ll hear it said that some guys are butt guys, and other guys are breast men. Well, we now know which one Trump apparently is, and you can thank me later for whatever mental image is inspiring you to reach for the brain bleach.
See, there’s a bit of an argument brewing on Twitter over whether or Donald Trump had a bit of rhetorical slip and dropped the word ‘titties’ instead of ‘cities’ while he was giving an economic policy speech in Detroit.
Except it’s not much of an argument at all, because the man totally did.
Karmic Payback
So, here’s the clip:
Look, the man said titties. There’s no way around it: https://t.co/Sb37bKP0A8

It was posted on Monday by Andrew Kaczynski from BuzzFeed. It’s pretty clear that Trump is screaming “titties” in his statement, and a number of people seemed to agree, and wondered what implication that had for his speech:
@BuzzFeedAndrew @BastardKeith @vine is he implying boob jobs for people living right here in Detroit?

This lead to some suggesting that he crossed his wires somewhere:
@BuzzFeedAndrew maybe he short circuited?

Others were suggesting it was a form of karmic payback after he mischaracterized Clinton’s words last week:
I’m guessing this “Trump said ‘titties’” story is karma payback for the Clinton middle class taxes thing. #trump

In a speech Clinton gave last week, she said she wasn’t going to raise taxes on the middle class. However, the boobs behind Trump’s campaign apparently heard “are” instead of “aren’t,” and the campaign ran with it.
Personally? I think the term Freudian slip applies here. I mean, “titties” seems to fit the full depth and scope of his thought process.
Everyone else, though, is laughing — because let’s facing it, laughing at Trump’s ineptitude never gets old:
Shorter Donald Trump speech. https://t.co/gZ1YovOgwU

Trump really did follow the teleprompter beautifully up until he screamed the word “titties”https://t.co/OjOljdKy1S

If Trump were running on rebuilding titties, he’d probably stand a good chance of getting a lot of women voters to take a 2nd look.

Just when you think 2016 couldn’t get any weirder, here we are, with Trump screaming “titties” on national TV — and mistake or not, it doesn’t make it any less hilarious.
