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.

Oh lord. IBT “it’s just a cute name”/“it’s racist” remarks!

Which means, everyone will pile on you to answer.

Coco Chanel was a Nazi agent, a traitor to France, so yeah maybe an insult.

It’s Trump’s shorthand for “nanny nanny poo poo nyaaaah”.

If you saw the tweet, and I did, the word was supposed to be “conference” but the tweet was sent before it was completed or corrected.

Trump has dirt on Mitch and his sellout of America to the Chinese. It’s only a matter of time before the whole world knows about this man.

It was shorthand for I know who’s at the other end of your leash.

I also think it’s a riff on Coco Chanel. It’s an insult to her wealth.

It’s not breakfast cereal.

Neither one is racist.

Either he misspelled her last name, which is a homonym of Chow, or it’s a hint about where a lot of the McConnells’ wealth came from, and it makes no difference to me either way. It’s a piddly matter.

Who cares about that? I’ve been wanting to know for years about China Mitch’s and wife’s billion dollar Chinese shipping company connection. How much of Mitch’s backstabbing destruction of MAGA was motivated by his pro China business interest? ALL of it, I’d ventured to say.
