You see how he assault womanhood ’s right field ? Not very demure . Not very aware .
If you’ve been online this week, you’ve likely noticed a new value has entered the space: being very demure, very mindful, and very cutesy.
Word of the hebdomad : Be very demure . Very aware . Very cutesy .
The phrasing was popularized by TikToker Jools Lebron — otherwise known as@joolieannieon the app — who emphasizes the importance of being “demure,” aka acting appropriately in a given setting, being respectful to others, not doing “too much,” and generally remaining humble, modest, considerate, and classy.
Every clock time I see “ Very demure . Very mindful ” this is who I think ofpic.twitter.com/eSZVby1HRV
A video labeling Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris as the essence of demure and former president Donald Trump as the antithesis has recently gone viral online:
Voting .. very overmodest 🤭 🤭 🤭 🤭 heard y all want a @Kamala HQ cut#uspolitics#vote#demure#verydemure
To investigate Trump’s true demure level, we looked at times when he wasn’t very cutesy, very mindful, or very demure. Here’s what we found:
1.Did you see how Trump seemed to brag about his role in reversingRoe v. Wade? Not very demure. Not very mindful of women’s bodies and basic healthcare.
On Truth Social , hewrote , " After 50 geezerhood of unsuccessful person , with nobody come even close , I was able to kill Roe v. Wade , much to the ' shock ' of everyone … Without me there would be no 6 weeks , 10 week , 15 weeks , or whatever is eventually concord to . Without me the pro Life movement would have just kept losing . "
Now , accord to the Center for Reproductive Rights , less than one-half of all US states have laws protect abortion rightfield , and women are subsequentlyforcedto travel through state of matter to receive decisive , lifesaving concern when medical interference is needed to hold launch the life of the mother or the foetus from contiguous , painful human death post - birth .
2.Did you hear Trumpsayhe wants to eliminate the Department of Education and have state governments individually “run the education of our children?" Not very demure. Not very sweet-sy. Not very mindful of how school districts upholding different metrics will disrupt standard milestones and students' ability to keep track with peers in their same grade.
Dismantling the Department of Education is supported and endorsed by the far - right conservative design Project 2025 . harmonise toEducationWeek , a non - partisan newsworthiness organisation , fix or removing the department pave the way for dour possibilities , let in the disappearing of Title I , “ the $ 18 billion federal fund that supports low - income educatee , ” and the “ federal government ’s power to enforce civic right law in school day would be scaled back . ”
3.Did you hear Trump say he wants to pardon the Jan. 6 rioters who stormed the Capitol to stop the certification of the results of the 2020 election? Not very demure. Not very mindful of the140 Capitol officerswho were assaulted by rioters or the over$2 million in damagesthey caused.
During aninterview at the 2024 National Association of Black Journalists league , Trump was asked if he would excuse rioter who storm the Capitol on Jan. 6 . “ My dubiousness is on those rioters who assaulted officers , would you excuse those masses ? ” a journalist require . “ Oh , absolutely I would . If they ’re innocent , I would pardon them , ” Trump said .
“ They ’ve been convict , ” the reporter respond .
“ Well , they were convicted by a very , very tough system , ” Trump said .
4.Did you see how Trumpsaidhe lowered insulin copayments to $35,claiming“Kamala and Joe tried to take credit?” Not very demure. Not very mindful. And a lie — it was Biden-Harris whosignedinto law the Inflation Reduction Act which capped insulin costs at $35 a month for all Medicare Part D plans. Trump implemented a temporary, voluntary model that capped insulin to $35 for only some Medicare Part D plans and a subset of insulins.
In comparability , Biden ’s Inflation Reduction Act is available to all insulin users with Medicare Part D plans and cover all insulins . Additionally , while Trump said his lower insulin pricing extended to ‘ millions of Americans , ’ the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Servicesestimates800,000 insulin users had accession to $ 35 co - pays versus 3.3 million Americans under Biden ’s provision .
Further , Project 2025 need to revoke the Inflation Reduction Act , which wouldincreaseprescription drug costs , let in the protected $ 35 jacket crown for insulin , for millions of Americans .
5.Remember when Trump became thefirst president in United States history to be tried and criminally convicted?Not very demure. Not very mindful of the American legal system.
After debate for 10 hour , a jury found Trumpguilty of falsifying job records to cover up an alleged involvement with grownup celluloid sensation Stormy Danielsahead of the 2016 presidential election . Hefacespossible fines , probation , or even jail time . In response to being found hangdog on 34 count , ABC Newsreportedthat the former president “ cod ” against the judge , call in the trial “ set [ and ] scandalous . ”
In the wake of his conviction , Trump go on the defense during aninterviewonFox & Friends , where he denied ever using the phrase “ Lock her up ” in relationship to Hillary Clinton — which , obviously , is a lie . Here ’s acatalogBuzzFeed maintain of the multiple times Trump urged Americans to aid in “ interlock up ” Clinton .
6.Did you see how Trumpsaidif elected, he would give police officers “immunity from prosecution?” Not very demure. Not very mindful, and frankly, pretty ironic coming from someone who routinelyclaimsthat the justice system is corrupt.
In aninterview with NABJ , Trump severalise a journalist : “ We require to have our police officeholder have the esteem and dignity back … If I felt , or if a radical of people felt that someone was being unfairly prosecuted because the person did a good job , peradventure with crime , or made a mistake , an impeccant error , there ’s a large difference of opinion between being a bad individual and take in an guiltless mistake . If someone made an impeccant mistake , I would want to help that mortal . ”
7.Did you see Trumpsay thatif reelected, he will reinstate his2017 transgender military ban? Not very demure. Not very mindful of the transgender Americans who sacrifice to serve our country and protect our freedoms as citizens.
During his four - yr rill as president , Trump issue a ban on transgender citizenry serve in the US military — apolicy change of mind that affected K of soldier .
In response , doc and medical students within the American Medical Association , the declamatory physician affiliation in the US , send out aletterto then - Defense Secretary Jim Mattis say , " There is no medically valid reason — include a diagnosing of gender dysphoria — to boot out transgender mortal from military serving . "
Trump ’s rationale leaned heavily on " tremendous medical costs " that " transgender in the armed forces would fee-tail . " …
After consultation with my Generals and military expert , please be advised that the United States Government will not accept or allow ……
…. Transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in the U.S. Military . Our military must be focus on decisive and overwhelming …..
…. triumph and can not be burdened with the enormous aesculapian toll and disruption that transgender in the armed forces would entail . give thanks you
… However , as American Medical Association CEO Dr. James Madara write in the AMA varsity letter , " The financial toll is negligible and a rounding mistake in the defense budget . It should not be used as a grounds to deny patriotic Americans an chance to dish out their country . We should be honoring their service . "
Side annotation : The announcement was seen as wry come from someone who deferred theVietnam military draftnow banning other Americans uncoerced to serve their country .
8.Do you see how Trumpkeeps referencing“the late, great Hannibal Lecter” in his speeches? Not very demure. Not very cute-sy, and honestly,very weird.
Most of the time , it ’s laughable , and manypoint outthat Trump might just be stick in the ‘ eighty ( The Silence of the Lambscame out in 1991 , but it ’s a point evocative of Trump ’s famous person heyday ) .
Why does Trump keep riffing on Hannibal Lecter , a fictional serial grampus who 1 ) never died , so not sure why Trump call him “ tardy ” and 2 ) is inarguably not corking ? Well , no one really knows , but he often brings Lecter up when disparaging immigrant .
I guess by referencing a killer while making baseless claims about migrantsemptying their " harebrained asylums,”he wants to dehumanize and stereotype migrants . But there’slittle evidencethat undocumented immigrants commit more crime than US citizens , and only about 1 % of mass arrested at the southerly border have criminal sentence , according to the Washington Post .
9.Do you see how Donald Trump discredits the existence of biracial people by suggesting Kamala Harris cannot be Black and Indian? Not very demure. Not very considerate of an experience shared by over33 million Americans who identify as multiracial.
When verbalize at an NABJ conference in July , Trump was amaze with thisquestionfrom a moderator : " Some of your own supporter , include Republicans on Capitol Hill , have labeled Vice President Kamala Harris — who is the first Black and Asiatic American woman to serve up as Vice President or be on a major political party tag — as a ' DEI hire . ' Is that acceptable spoken language to you ? And will you tell those Republicans and those patron to halt it ? "
The motion appears simple , as Harris ’s identity as the daughter of the late Shyamala Gopalan , an Indian biologist whohelped progress breast Crab inquiry , and Donald J. Harris , a Jamaican economics prof at Stanford University , can not be denied . However , instead of answer , Trump ab initio skirt around the head and ask , " How do you define DEI ? Go ahead . How do you specify it ? " And when the horde answered , " Diversity , equity , and inclusion , " Trump push back , " Ok yeah , go ahead . Is that what your definition is ? Give me a definition … You have to set it . "
After more pressing from the moderator , the 78 - class - old answered the question by saying , " I ’ve known her a farsighted clock time indirectly , not directly very much . And she was always of Indian heritage , and she was only advance Amerindic heritage . I did n’t lie with she was Black until a numeral of yr ago when she happened to turn Black . And now she desire to be known as Black . So I do n’t have it off . Is she Native American , or is she Black ? "
He double over down on this possibility , suggesting people can not belong to two raceway on Truth Social , where hewrote , “ Crazy Kamala is saying she ’s Amerindic , not Black . This is a large wad . rock cold phony . She uses everybody , including her racial identity ! "
10.Do you remember when Trumpdeclaredthere were some “very fine people on both sides” after thedeadly white nationalist protestsin Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017? Not very mindful of victims.
One such victim was Heather Heyer , 32 , whowas killedby a bloodless supremacist who deliberately plowed his car into a crowd of counter - protesters .
After an onset ofcriticismthat Trump was endorsing white supremacists , Trump and his supporterslike to point outthat Trump also condemned neo - Nazis and white nationalists in the instruction . But no matter how you slice it , pointing out that there is “ inculpation on both sides”downplaysthe antiblack intention of the protesters that daylight . As the Washington Postpointed out in a 2020 assessment , it ’s not clear any objector were n’t rallying with white nationalist intentions .
11.And finally, do you see how Trump uses artists' music, seemingly without authorization? Not very demure. Not very cute-sy.
Aclipof Trump play Celine Dion ’s “ My Heart Will Go On ” at a rally latterly went viral , and Celine has since claim he take away her work without say-so .
Astatementreleased on Celine ’s Twitter account reads : “ Today , Celine Dion ’s management team and her criminal record label , Sony Music Entertainment Canada Inc. , became cognisant of the unauthorized usage of the video , transcription , melodic performance , and similitude of Celine Dion singing ‘ My Heart Will Go On ’ at a Donald Trump / JD Vance campaign exchange in Montana . In no mode is this use authorized , and Celine Dion does not indorse this or any like use . … AND REALLY , THAT SONG ? ”
extra artists such asPanic ! At the Disco , Ozzy Osbourne , and Rihannahave also pointed finger’s breadth at Trump for using their songs without permission .
Today , Celine Dion ’s direction team and her record label , Sony Music Entertainment Canada Inc. , became mindful of the unauthorised usance of the video , transcription , melodious performance , and likeness of Celine Dion vocalizing “ My meat Will Go On ” at a Donald Trump / JD Vance campaign…pic.twitter.com/28CYLFvgER
