I don't think "hey everyone, let's make fun of a disabled 17-year-old tearfully expressing love for his father" is gonna play as well as they thought.
What a bunch of weirdos
It's funny(depressing?) to think that someone probably had to tell him that his explanation for the first tweet wasn't making anything better and that he did not get it by himself. And I'm sure he still doesn't understand what he did wrong
MAGA doesn't care. They were fine with Trump making fun of someone with CP in 2016, and they're fine with this.
..........does CP mean what I think it does? Because someone who has that stuff doesn't need to be defended. They need to be jailed.
Cerebral Palsy
I would have never guessed that. Cp and dp have very specific abbriviations on the internet. Its all I see when I see those abbriviations.
*in America
That's one of the reasons CSAM is taking over for that.
What is CSAM, and do I even want to know?
Stands for something like child sexual abuse material iirc. It's a more formal term for child porn, the kind you'd see in like Facebook moderator job descriptions or court filings against accused sex offenders
CP wasn’t comfortable with itself, so it prefers to identify as CSAM.
Ah yes Dr Pepper
Cerebral Palsy, iirc
Ambiguous acronyms aren't exactly a new phenomenon. A single google search for "trump making fun of someone with cp 2016" turned up plenty of results clarifying what it means in this case.
