“Someone else offered much more, so what? Now they come up with something called ‘disgorgement.’ I never even heard of the term. WITCH HUNT!!! ELECTION INTERFERENCE!!!” Trump wrote.

Disgorgement is a remedy requiring a party who profits from illegal or wrongful acts to give up any profits they made as a result of that illegal or wrongful conduct. The purpose of this remedy is to prevent unjust enrichment and make illegal conduct unprofitable.

Congratulations, both me, you, and Donald Trump learned something new today.

When you read "WITCH HUNT!!! ELECTION INTERFERENCE!!!" Think of this guy yelling it. It's hilarious.

I've seen Trump tweets read as Zapp Brannigan and as Gollum. Now, I need to see them read as Mr. Crocker.

I hope this'll work in a pinch. Can't seem to get rid of that annoying buzz in the background...

That's great! It's scary how well it works.

My vote for the next one is Bobcat Goldthwait.

Nothing tops the original.

[-] ArugulaZ@kbin.social 1 points 8 months ago

I just read that AS Mr. Crocker. Holy shit, it actually works!

[-] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 5 points 8 months ago

Lol now I can imagine Mr. Crocker contorting himself at every capitalized word of Trump's tweets...

[-] koolkiwi@lemmy.world 38 points 8 months ago

I highly doubt Trump learned something from this

[-] ArugulaZ@kbin.social 6 points 8 months ago

I'm sure Trump's familiar with engorgement, however...

You could have NOT put that in my head! 🤣

late 15th century: from Old French desgorger, from des- (expressing removal) + gorge ‘throat’.

He's smart enough to realize his own ignorance is probably shared by most of his cultists, so playing using his own ignorance to attack the the government is going to work perfectly every time. Basically, it's hard to sound like a fool if you're speaking to a bunch of fools.
