Trump doesn’t like the term ‘woke’: ‘Half the people can’t even define it’

BY JULIA SHAPERO - 06/02/23 9:16 AM ET

Former President Trump said Thursday that he doesn’t like the term “woke,” claiming that most people “can’t even define it.”

“I don’t like the term ‘woke’ because I hear, ‘Woke, woke, woke.’ It’s just a term they use, half the people can’t even define it, they don’t know what it is,” Trump said at the Westside Conservative Breakfast in Urbandale, Iowa.

The idea of “wokeness” has been a central theme in the career and campaign of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, Trump’s biggest competition in the race for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.

“We reject this woke ideology,” DeSantis said in his inaugural address in January. “We seek normalcy, not philosophical lunacy. We will not allow reality, facts, and truth to become optional. We will never surrender to the woke mob. Florida is where woke goes to die.”

So now he doesn’t like the term. Never mind he himself has used that term in the past

Trump himself used the term just last weekend, claiming that “Disney has become a Woke and Disgusting shadow of its former self” under DeSantis in a Truth Social post on Sunday.

"Woke" is a benign word that has been appropriated a controversial alternate definition.

"woke" is euhpemism for DEI and LGBTQ+.  It's vaugue dogwhistle on purpose so it can't be strictly connoted as "hate speech", "homophobia", "racism", "white supremacy", etc.

... it's similar to Anti-Semites using the term "New Yorkers" to refer to Jews to avoid being called out as Anti-Semites.

Language can inform thought; language can also disguise thought.

He's on the wrong side of this issue, and he is setting himself up to be budlighted.
