The living brain dead are rotten at the core. At least sometimes they identify themselves with clothing and hats.

They have no idea what "the transcript" is, or why they should be telling people to "read it" (considering it was released publically weeks ago, and isn't a transcript, and most of us anti-Trumpers already read it and in fact it jump-started the impeachment-- that is, the transcript isn't good for him).

For them, everything is a 'signifier'. Nothing means what it says anymore. It could be "read the transcript" or "pet the dog," and to them it means something like "own the libs" or "lick Trump's boots."

This is getting to be like the 8-channers and Qnon people, where they communicate almost entirely in dog-whistle code and are sure that makes them cool because no one else "gets it."

The rest is even more illegal, threatening and treasonous and is being hidden along with his traitorous calls to PUtin, Edrogan, MBS, etc. He is a criminal for life and a traitor since 2014 when PUtin approached him with an offer.

They were given those t-shirts and deliberately posed for a photo. It's propaganda, designed to engage the hind brain: Trump supporters think 'Yay! I wish I had a t-shirt!' while people who can't stand him think, 'I can't stand him and his stupid t-shirts and his stupid t-shirt wearing crowd.'

Mission accomplished. *sigh*
