    Yall know rigger is a real word right? Like, I work with a group of people explicitly called riggers. They rig stuff up. Use cranes, chain falls, shit like that?

    Trump is using a dogwhistle though.

      Yeah it’s also a common term in the bdsm community for people who like tying people up. But he definitely isn’t referring to them.

      Some people don’t get the benefit of the doubt when it comes to dog whistles.

      Fair point, but I guess I meant, it’s a word that doesn’t have a definition attached to it that has anything to do with how he used it.
