Trump refers to Anderson Cooper as "Allison"

NOVI, Mich. (AP) — Former President Donald Trump has repeatedly referred to CNN anchor Anderson Cooper with a woman's first name in recent days as the Republican presidential nominee focuses his closing message on a hypermasculine appeal to men.

On a Friday morning post on Trump’s social media site Truth Social, the former president referred to one of the most prominent openly gay journalists in the U.S. as "Allison Cooper.”

Trump made the subtext even more explicit later Friday during a rally in Traverse City, Michigan, where he criticized a town hall Cooper hosted with Vice President Kamala Harris.

“If you watched her being interviewed by Allison Cooper the other night, he’s a nice person. You know Allison Cooper? CNN fake news,” Trump said, before pausing and saying in a mocking voice: “Oh, she said no, his name is Anderson. Oh, no."

On Saturday, Trump repeated the name during another Michigan rally, then followed it up during a nighttime reference in Pennsylvania. “They had a town hall,” Trump said in Michigan. “Even Allison Cooper was embarrassed by it. He was embarrassed by it.”

In referring to Cooper with a woman’s name, Trump appeared to turn to a stereotype heterosexual people have long deployed against gay men. Such rhetoric evokes the trope of gay men as effeminate and comes as Trump aims to drive up his appeal among men in the final stages of his bid to return to the White House.

The former president on Friday recorded a three-hour interview with Joe Rogan, a former mixed martial arts commentator whose podcast is wildly popular among young men. On Oct. 19, Trump kicked off a Pennsylvania rally discussing legendary golfer Arnold Palmer’s genitalia.

The Trump campaign did not respond to a request for comment. A representative for Cooper declined to comment.

Bruh if this man wins. I just don’t know how we can continue as a society like we currently know it. I knew I was correct in cutting off MAGA friends. It’s beyond disgrace at this point. It’s like an 11 yr old.

He is and always will be a disciple of the high empress of all self-hating gays, Roy Cohn. May his lonely death have been excruciating.

He's just lovely, isn't he? I think he belongs on Mount Rushmore. But on the back, with the assholes.

(Governor Walz, you are welcome to use that line if it helps.)

Remember when Obama slipped and called Michelle, “Michael” and Alex Jones & company said that was definitive proof that she was trans?

I wonder if the same logic will be applied here.

wasn't Anderson just being criticized by Charlamagne for being pro trump and hating on kamala?

Well, like Jaye Dee Vance, on the couch with the eyeliner pen.

R7 no not at all. That’s a big over simplifying. It’s not even accurate. He criticized Cooper but not for being pro Trump. You are what’s wrong with America btw. He criticized him for the false equivalencies and double standards.

r9, Anderson isn't able to have his tongue far up enough kamala's Indian ass for Charlemagne.

Anderson is the reason we have trump now. He normalized Trump's deranged behavior and laughed for the ratings. Plus he didn't stand up for Kathy Griffin when she was attached in the media. Fuck him.

R10 If you aren’t trolling then maybe you were just misinformed. Watch this.

I wonder what he calls his southern belle when she's in her knees blowing that mushroom dick?

Anderson was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He’s a nepo baby.

by Anonymousreply 19October 27, 2024 7:49 PM

R19 He is not a nepo baby; his mother wasn’t a journalist. Does nepo baby now just mean anyone who grew up rich or privileged?

Is he fifty feet tall?

Trump kept referring to me as a man in phone call. But, the media downplayed it.

Is there a thread for today's Nazi rally reenactment? Search not working.

For once, Trump and Kathy Griffin agree on something. It must be a leap year!

A lecture about morality from Princ—er, Queen Mafuckin herself is a laugh riot! Question: do you put on black face when you cosplay being black, Teafake?

R27 you claim you don’t like me. I’m so fraudulent right? But yet you KEEP interacting with me. I am black all day long. I NEVER indulge you first. You gon interact with me tomorrow and the day after that and the day after that and day after that. And I am going to screenshot this so I can remind you of it EVERY MOTHERFUCKING time you do it. Good bless. Happy Sunday.
