Donald Trump said “titties.” The candidate was delivering a major economic policy address before the Detroit Economic Club today, a speech intended as a major reset of his campaign after a week plagued by major GOP defections and declining poll numbers. Mr. Trump almost definitely meant to say “cities.”
But he didn’t. Not quite.
See for yourself:
Of course, this is America, and the freedom of speech is one of the hallmarks of our wonderful democracy. That includes the freedom to pounce on a simple mistake and, through the magic of social media, to amuse oneself and one’s followers on a Monday afternoon.
For instance:

Pretty sure Trump already had Bill Clinton’s vote. Why is he working the “titties” angle? ¯_(ツ)_/¯ https://t.co/1dl806FYoX
