I think he lacks the mental faculties to do something like this. He’s a simpleton.
Pretty sure a 3rd grader could figure out that "riggers" sounds a whole lot like a really naughty word for black people, which is about where he's at mentally.
It's exactly what a 3rd grader would do...
Say a word that sounds real close to a word they can't say. Then when called out say that it's not the same word and no one can be mad they said it.
So yeah, probably intentional
Yes, but you’re attributing forethought to trump’s choice of words. That is not his forte.
Regardless of whether he intended the visual/spelling similarity, I guarantee that his image of election riggers is exactly as racially coded as his image of "urban" Americans.
You aren't far off in your assessment of Trump's mental maturity. He by his own admission has the temperament of a first grader
He’s definitely deficient as a human but never mistake the fool act for actually being a fool. More than anyone else in contemporary American society, Trump truly understands how to play to the lowest common denominator of his base
