Alyssa Farah, who served as Trump's Director of Strategic Communications, accused her former boss of using a racial "bullhorn" with his rant against "riggers".
Pretty sure a 3rd grader could figure out that “riggers” sounds a whole lot like a really naughty word for black people, which is about where he’s at mentally.
Regardless of whether he intended the visual/spelling similarity, I guarantee that his image of election riggers is exactly as racially coded as his image of “urban” Americans.
He’s definitely deficient as a human but never mistake the fool act for actually being a fool. More than anyone else in contemporary American society, Trump truly understands how to play to the lowest common denominator of his base
I think he lacks the mental faculties to do something like this. He’s a simpleton.

It’s exactly what a 3rd grader would do…
Say a word that sounds real close to a word they can’t say. Then when called out say that it’s not the same word and no one can be mad they said it.
So yeah, probably intentional

Yes, but you’re attributing forethought to trump’s choice of words. That is not his forte.
