To be fair, I'm not entirely sure Trump doesnt think they are brought by actual coyotes, while white children are brought by storks.

This is why twitter was a mistake.

the first second after he said coyotes it may have sounded weird, but the fact that no one even questioned it should have said that it was probably an actual term. And a google search confirms it's an actual term.

But that doesn't matter when people post their instantaneous reactions on twitter.

"coyotes" are people who are hired by others to help them traverse between Mexico and the US and cross the border, since they're often familiar with the environment, patrols, officials who can be paid off, etc., from what I remember.

if you're not familiar with the term, then it sounds weird

I remember a million years ago when Trump had this weird fixation on the word coyote and we would, only half-jokingly, say that he was thinking of the animal.

when it comes to Trump, that's not really a reliable method of determining whether it's shit ot not.

Honestly, this is the issue here. Sure, they probably should have looked it up, but Trump has also worked really hard saying things that dont make sense to lose a lot of credibility.

Meh. I had never heard the term used either, but after hearing Trumps word vomit and insanity over the last four years its really not surprising that people thought he meant literal coyotes.

I mean hell, he also doubled down on his nonsense about wind mills killing birds and didnt address the fact he said wind mills cause cancer when Biden brought it up

Do people even need to look this up? I mean, even if you werent familiar with the term, did you really think Trump meant that animals were kidnapping kids and dragging them over the border?

Did you hear that Trump said his campaign had a mole? Does he think those little animals can talk now???

It's funny because these people are actually dumber than Trump, despite constantly calling him dumb. And they get to vote about important things. Its actually scary.

They just assume it's nonsense simply because Trump said it. If anyone else said it they probably wouldn't question it as much, or phrase their tweets as "I've never heard that term until today. The more you know."
