People Are Super Confused Over A T-Shirt On Sale In Trump Tower




http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/t-shirt-trump-tower-confused_us_58da19ffe4b0f805b3233be3?

A T-shirt that’s for sale in the Trump Tower gift shop in New York City has set Twitter users abuzz because of its nonsensical slogan.

Politico’s chief Washington correspondent Edward-Isaac Dovere posted a snap of the garment bearing the slogan “Shut The Fake Up Media” online Monday:

The t-shirt slogans are an apparent nod to President Donald Trump’s complaints against the mainstream media ― which he’s labeled “fake news” whenever he’s disliked a report ― and a play on words that’s supposed to mean “shut the fuck up.” But it doesn’t quite work, as many tweeters were quick to point out.


The replies and comments are well worth a look at the Huffington link.
