What is Trump meaning with his weird “Coco Chow” remark?
FR

Posted on 11/15/2022 11:50:46 AM PST by GulliverSwift

Lately, Trump has been calling Elaine Chao “Coco Chow.”

I have no idea why he thinks that's insulting. Has he ever given a reference for what it means?

I'm guessing maybe Coco Chanel but even then, why is that an insult? No one knows who she was nowadays.

I take it as something along the lines of Coco Chanel Chao.

As in Mitch’s CCP handler. The Chanel part likely said ironically, whose “lovely wife” was it he used to talk about?

Curious that he would’ve appointed her Secretary of Transportation with that background.

Not sure about "Coco Chow".

But I'm guessing the "Young Kin" Youngkin thing I believe is about Youngkin's days at Carlyle, offshoring and his deals with the Chicoms.

Coco Chanel created the Chanel suit. It’s iconic and expensive. Elaine Chao always looks like she’s wearing a Chanel suit.

It’s racist. Trump can act like a buffoon sometimes. Very embarrassing for Republicans.

My good FRiend, if Trump had dirt on Mitch and his sellout of America to the Chinese, he had a duty to fully disclose it years ago.

By not disclosing it, Trump would be no better than Mr Sellout.

Personally, I'm bored with winning the meme wars and losing the MAGA battle. This sophistry is akin to a 1-9 JV football team mooning the reigning champs before loss #10.

Coco Chau makes sense.

Why would he give a nickname to a politician’s wife? Has she done something illegal? Immoral?

Maybe Chao is a fashionista using her government money and bribes to live a lavish, stylish existence....like Coco Chanel did...

I believe “Coco” is her nickname and “Chao” is her maiden name, which she goes by in her professional life - Elaine Chao.

I have no idea why he thinks that's insulting.

Perhaps not an insult by a revelation...

Given the stunning wealth of her family (Dad owns Foremost Group), it’s not like she needs any more dough.

Her parents are logistics tycoons in China with very close ties to the CCP. As with all Chinese nationals, by edict; you will spy and act for China when China needs you to spy and act.

trump is the only president to have 3 of his cabinet members sanctioned by the CCP:

Pompeo
Bannon
Navarro
