    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 itā€™s also a common term in the bdsm community for people who like tying people up. But he definitely isnā€™t referring to them.

      Some people donā€™t get the benefit of the doubt when it comes to dog whistles.

      Fair point, but I guess I meant, itā€™s a word that doesnā€™t have a definition attached to it that has anything to do with how he used it.
