Look, I know a good prank when I see one. So when Apple claimed that the voice-to-text system had a “technical bug” that just so happened to replace “Trump” with “racist,” I’m calling BS. 

I mean maybe everyone in Apple didn’t know that the iPhone had a glitch in the matrix that had the voice dictation function spitting out the name of the king of all racists, but I’m sure at least one person did.

And that person is a hero!

“The company on Tuesday acknowledged the glitch that it said was causing its system to incorrectly suggest the word ‘Trump’ when users spoke words with “r” consonants and said it was rolling out a fix,” CNN reports. 

That fix, unfortunately, was rolled out Tuesday, as I spent the better part of my morning yelling “Trump” into the phone, and sadly, there was no conversion to his nickname. 

A reporter at NBC News was kind enough to capture video of the incident and post it on Elon Musk’s personal notepad (also known as X).

Apple’s explanation had way too many big words about why and how the mistake was made, but it sounds like this may not have been a manmade blunder. Apparently, the use of “Trump” and “racist” occurred so much that the algorithm began thinking that the words were interchangeable. 

But none of this stopped the world leader of the tin-foil golf hat association, Alex Jones, from being convinced that this wasn’t a mistake but rather the work of the deep state. Jones, the basement dweller, whose work can be seen on white-Tubi-like networks, claimed the changeupchange up was a “next level” and “deep subliminal attack.”

 

CNN notes that the synonyms (which they consider a mix-up) happened a day after Apple announced that they would be investing some $500 billion in “US facilities, projects and infrastructure, which Trump quickly claimed as a sign of success for his tariff policies.”

More than just being a “Trump” (read, racist), the president of people that wear beer cups attached to their baseball caps, took credit for Apple’s announcement claiming that his proposed tariffs force Apple to move their product making from China to the US. 

Trump posted on Truth Social — also know as “Way more racist Twitter” — that Apple’s investment showed “faith in what we are doing, without which, they would’nt (sic) be investing ten cents. Thank you (CEO) Tim Cook and Apple.”

Thankfully Trump got the CEO of Apple’s name correct considering he once called him “Tim Apple.”

In typical Trump fashion, it only took a day for “Racist” (read, Trump), to take back his love for Apple after the company shareholders “voted down a proposal to end its diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives at its annual meeting.”

“Apple should get rid of DEI rules, not make adjustments to them,” Trump said in his Tuesday post on Truth Social. 

And I wonder why Trump feels that way? Where’s my iPhone?
