Here is your laugh of the day! There was a massive surge of online searches for the definition of ”deplorable” after Hillary Clinton used the word to describe some Trump supporters:
To just be grossly generalistic, you can put half of Trump supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right? Racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic, you name it.
People were spitting mad. I mean, gosh darn it, how dare she … wait, what does that word mean? A lot of people had to look it up:
Donald Trump is trying to capitalize on Hillary Clinton calling “half” of his supporters “deplorable," but according to Merriam-Webster, some people had to find out what the term meant first.
The online dictionary reports that searches of the word “deplorable” increased by nearly 50,000% over the weekend
Of course there is no way to be certain Trump supporters were the ones looking up the meaning of the word. Let’s just call it an educated guess.
