Trump's Statement On Redundancy Is Hilariously Redundant
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.#OneMoreTimeForthePeopleInTheBackhttps://t.co/qlTwf2oLkq https://t.co/pMqFh3uUXJ

There is also a redundant "your". Can't make this stuff up.

"We will get rid of redundancy and duplication" deserves a seat alongside "only a Sith deals in absolutes." https://t.co/2AIuk4Ap9x
