He’s still got the best words.
President Donald Trump’s statement on deregulation on Thursday is getting plenty of attention, but not just for his claim of killing off 22 regulations for every new one implemented.
It’s this quote from the president at the top of the White House news release:
“We will get rid of the redundancy and duplication that wastes your time and your money,” Trump vowed.
The redundancy and duplication in the statement didn’t go unseen or unnoticed on social media.
Even Dictionary.com chimed in with a few words:
Duplications are redundancies. Redundancies are duplications.#OneMoreTimeForthePeopleInTheBackhttp://www.dictionary.com/browse/redundancy … https://twitter.com/freddoso/status/941417408480317440 …

Department of redundancy department. My favorite government office.
This is funny and also amusing (hat tip @AndrewBeatty)
There is also a redundant “your”. Can’t make this stuff up.

“We will get rid of the redundancy and duplication that waste your time and your money” – @realDonaldTrump being, unintentionally, really funny
Wait. Wait. Wait. Not only will he eliminate redundancy, but duplication? #savior #maga https://twitter.com/freddoso/status/941417408480317440 …
Trump is getting rid of not just the redundancy but also the duplication that wastes your time and also your money.

“We will get rid of redundancy and duplication” deserves a seat alongside “only a Sith deals in absolutes.” https://twitter.com/freddoso/status/941417408480317440 …
Let’s have a double funeral for irony.
