Donald Trump’s latest attack on migrants included an unexpected new twist: a reference to “phone apps” as if they are a little-known technology.
Speaking in Wisconsin on Saturday, Trump claimed that Vice President Kamala Harris has an app that allows a “virtually unlimited” number of migrants to enter the country.
“They have a phone app so that people can come into our country,” Trump said over the weekend. “These are smart immigrants, I guess because most people don’t have any idea what the hell a phone app is. But they do, these are very intelligent immigrants.”
Trump’s critics served up a fact-check:
I feel like most people know what a phone app is

How out of touch with reality do you have to be to believe most people don’t know what a phone app is? The 90-plus-year-olds at my father’s independent living community know what a phone app is. https://t.co/5Ty1OaoFYL

Narrator: “In fact, it was DonOld Trump that didn’t know what a phone app was… He didn’t actually know how anything worked.”

Shame on Republicans for propping up this lunatic.

If you don’t know what a phone app is, I’m actually impressed. My dad is 75 and knows what apps are, and he has a tech savviness rating of 1/10 https://t.co/xaMg7n1l9X
