Come on Tim Apple. Do it. You know it’s the right thing to do
Actually, with Google recently losing in court where Apple had previously won because Google was exempting some developers from its App Store rules; Apple might be actually inclined to actually enforce its rules in X’s case lest they suffer the same fate
Tim Appleis like the only positive thing that came out of Trump's mouth/presidency, except forFormer President Drink Bleach was a source of many quips or words, good words for those reading along at a 4th grade level...
Look, he's got a couple pithy keepers, I'm secure enough in my political orientation to admit that. I always joke about perfect phone calls now lol
Edit: also, thuh BEST/most POWERFUL wordz
He did restore faith that George W Bush decision to finish reading a children’s book when the planes were crashing into the trade centre was the best choice.
FTFY
Idk man.
Trump was easily the most comedically entertaining president. Like, not in a good way. Like, cofveve or whatever wtf?
I'll present you with Shane Gillis doing a bit
K I still need someone to sit down with me and explain the whole "Covfefe" thing
Edit: in homeopathic sized doses, he is objectively hilarious and tolerable. But his word salads make me ~~wanna~~ needa self-cannabinalize
It was a tweet. He tweeted this absolute nonsense and everyone was like "wtf is he on drugs?"
That's it.
But like has anyone tried to explain or postulate what was meant specifically by covfefe, like what was the context?
Edit:
He probably just fat-fingered his phone with a half-written tweet open. If he'd just followed that up with "...coverage I'm actually the awesomest president ever blah blah blah" nobody would've noticed.
But instead it turned into this whole thing about how the tweet was meaningful and people were just too dumb to get it. Which just made him look ridiculous as usual.
I'm so glad I have male-ballerina fingers 😊
Yes. Many people have tried to explain it. Parts of the qult are claiming that it's a cure for the covid vaccine, (Co)Cobalt, (V)Vanadium, and two (Fe) iron.
Nah, its simple and I literally just explained it (as evinced by [the context of] his tweet)
That's what actually happened, yes. That doesn't mean that many people who worship him have not tried to find an explanation that means it was completely intentional, and I think it's worth knowing about how far people will go in his defence, even when it requires them to twist themselves into pretzels to defend something that would have been completely fine if he had just laughed it off.
I will never understand. Like how does anyone seriously politicize something that random and banal
Trump is a narcissist, he is incapable of admitting any flaw or fault, be it in an accidentally sent typo tweet, or letting the experts address a public health issue rather than pushing himself to the forefront and suggesting putting sterilizing lights into the body.
He actually did in his ShoppingChannel commercial today, the one with the Trump trading cards or whatever.
He referred to all the muscles the "artists" gave him that he definitely doesn't have IRL.
I was like "Holy Shit, did he just like self-deprecate for the first time in his life?!". I almost fell off my dinosaur!
Yeah, I caught that in a video from a content creator I watch. Not sure what to make of it, still thinking about it. Actual personal growth would be pretty surprising from the guy who kneecapped the pandemic response because he was worried he'd smear his makeup.
I mean it was midnight. So, I think he was trying to say something about despite a day of bad press coverage, coffee? Has allowed him to...
Fall asleep face first on his keyboard?
Idk.
Sometimes when you're getting up of the john you get that Vagus nerve thing where you 1/2-passout when getting up. Maybe that was it

He was on episodes of WWE wrestling, im pretty sure he just spelled "kayfabe" wrong
Bush Jr's asinine ramblings were funnier IMO. "Now watch this drive" lives in my head rent free.
Fool me twice … can’t get fooled again
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
I'm pretty sure he was referring to "kayfabe" and didn't quite get it right
Meatball Ron is pretty funny. Normally his nicknames for people are fucking stupid.
Please...Im gunna need a list of his greatest "hits"
Edit: Ron DeathSentence, I'm officially deceased 🤣
Covfefe has been a pretty fun word, as well as referring to "Mooch" as a unit of time.
Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.
U got me, but thats nitpicky lol
Edit: i like how its set up so he can easily chunk it together
Person = woman or man Camera = tv
Very stable brain
Like where voluminous bullshit and horseshit are generated on the daily. I'd say even when he's constipated he always REGULAR lol😎
While you may be right, it’s more likely to be the optics of being associated to this… person that will be the deciding factor.
LOL Apple doesn't give a single shit about "the right thing to do", all they care about is money, and Apple is happy to not whack that hornet's nest that's actively stuffing their pockets, meanwhile they can continue to (rightfully) blame Twitter for what happens on Twitter.
Apple doesn't give exemptions, it's just a carte blanche ban
