Now maybe this Politico report of a break-in at a local Trump campaign office in Virginia is just a one-off and simply a case of a junkie kicking in a door to find drug money or at worst some lone wolf leftist kid screwing around. But just in case there’s any more to it, we need a catchy media shorthand like “Teapot Dome” or “Iran-Contra” or our homemade “Hunterghazi” and “Clustertruck.”
Ready? Okay, here goes: “TRUMP” + “WATERGATE” = “TWATERGATE.” Awesome, right? Like we can jump right into an article with “New developments in the Twatergate Scandal as investigators probed E Michael Hunt’s CIA history blah blah blah” and “President Trump was being a total Twat-ergate truther again Thursday in an all caps Truth Social post” and so on. Think we nailed this one.
It’s always good to be ahead of the curve in this business especially in this day and age of short attention spans where readers might be too easily distracted by – oh hey did you see this tweet about Trump telling Elon that nuclear energy needs to be rebranded as “Musk energy”?
