While I was browsing through POTUS tweets, I saw the inevitable trolls responding. One of them was mocking him for not being able to pronounce “anonymous” correctly.
I remember hearing him stumble on that word during the Montana rally. Anyone else remember that?
That got me thinking....
1. We all mispronounce words now and then. Sometimes your brain gets ahead of your mouth or whatever. So was this just one of those times?
2. Trump often does things which look odd, but have a definite purpose. Was this something more than a stumble over a word? I know that not everything is a secret message, but this one seemed interesting to me. Kind of like a verbal covfefe!
Those who think Trump is stupid do so at their own peril. I see a lot of scared progressives now, both in the political sphere and in the media, who were mocking Trump for his supposed stupidity two years ago. They know better now.

I noticed and I would like to think your explanation might be the case. As for myself I thought he looked very tired at that rally. And I thought the goof up was related to that. I remember praying later that he would get more rest.
Trump’s persuasion uses mispronounced words as a persuasion technique. Part of the elite code is being “well-spoken.” It’s a way to decide who is in or out with ridicule for those who are out. The shame is intended to drive people off the playing field (Dan Quayle). Enough people have been coded that it creates the potential for a backlash if someone finally stands up to it, a counter movement. Trump is a master at using this to get people to pay attention to what he says and creating sympathy within the counter movement.
I noticed POTUS mispronouncing anonymous.
I thought it was just a mental/verbal hiccup. I’ve had a few of those myself.
