"And then somebody -- I don't remember who it was -- turned and said, 'You know what? What about Gibbs' tie? What about Gibbs' tie? That might look good.' And, frankly, Robert didn't want to give it up because he thought he looked really good in the tie. But eventually he was willing to take one for the gipper, and so he took off his tie, and I put it on. And that's the tie that I wore at the national convention."

He meant “gripper” as in what he does to himself.

He meant "gypper" as in what he does to the rest of us.

"...take one for the gipper..."
I wonder though if this wasn't an indirect quote of something he used to hear Frank Marshall Davis say.

The Zipper maybe, but not the Gipper. Even that is opposite, literally. 0h0m0llah's zipper is always in the back. The one in front is a fake. Its a closet zipper, if you will.
