Twitter bots have the power to make or break your timeline; sometimes bots take text and post the most hilarious nonsensical phrases that coincidentally make sense when put together, and other times, it's just nonsensical phrases. On the look for the former type of bot, I found @DeepDrumpf-- a Twitter bot that takes phrases and words from Donald Trump's actual Tweets, rearranges them, and makes new Tweets that are-- dare I say-- moving.
Just like all bots, not every single one of his "Drumpfed" Tweets will change your life or necessarily emotionally touch you; however, when looked at within the context of what's going on in the world and the United States, this Twitter bot creates a highly entertaining and satirical look at Donald Trump and his opinions.
For example, he says "[Forget Pence, Ken Bone is the] very best of America. He and I will bring the nation peace. He's very innocent company, folks;" if you watched the most recent debate on Sunday night, Ken Bone became a social media icon almost immediately for what he was wearing. Within the same debate, Donald Trump also admitted to disagreeing with some of his vice presidential candidate's policies. Because of the context that this Tweet is placed in, it is made all the more humorous.
Another example that is less obvious and more ironic on Trump's part is, "[Women love] me. I'll make them great again, like in Iran. We have to have that suppression, it's good for my business." Although Trump may have not said any of this verbatim, he has alluded to most of the content in this Tweet, if not all of it. With his recent statements regarding women and sexual assault as well as his notorious foreign policies, this Tweet sticks out like a sore thumb because Donald Trump
has this blinder pulled over his eyes, and is somehow at the front of a race for the reins of a country.
