"Which one is Eric?"

In response to Trump's tweet, DeGeneres explains, "if you know me at all, you know I don’t pay attention to politics, but unfortunately, politics pay attention to me.”  "Which one is Eric," DeGeneres quips. "Did he kill the elephant or the cheetah? Second, what is Deep State? Is it near Dollywood? Because I’m in if it is.” "This is the craziest thing I've seen all week," she added.

“Apparently, Eric Trump thinks Twitter is trying to trick him into following liberals,” DeGeneres continued. According to the Trumps, the "Deep State" is a secret branch of the government conspiring to “undermine” the president. "That "is ridiculous, because no one has undermined Donald Trump more than Donald Trump,” DeGeneres joked. "Maybe you should follow me," she continued. "Because I post a lot of cute videos. We might not agree on politics, but I think we can both agree that this is cute.”

Degeneres wasn't the only person left confused by Trump's tweet.

Twitter users had some suggestions.

"You should follow Hillary. The exposure to intelligence might be beneficial to you," wrote one Twitter user.

Other onlookers were a bit less nuanced, going right for the jugular: "Hi Eric, I know you’re not the smart one, but Twitter’s algorithm looks at who you searched for most recently when making suggestions. It looks like you might have recently searched for a Democrat, buddy," said another.

Newsweek's Kurt Eichenwald chimed in too, never missing a beat: "Um...you dont know how twitter works do you? Yes, better to think there is some massive conspiracy of unseen cabals than to think "oh, this fell into the algorithm based on other people I follow."

He added: "No wonder they call you the dullest knife in the Trump drawer."

To be fair, Trump's supporters had their fun too:

People Who Smashed Wedding Cake In Their Spouse's Face Reveal How Their Relationship Is Going Now

According to The Knot wedding resource magazine and website, smashing cake into the face of a spouse after tying the knot is a tradition tied to medieval England. To celebrate the marriage, the bride would toss a piece of piece of cake over her shoulder for good luck.

This evolved into newlyweds feeding a piece of cake to one another, then taking frosting or a small bit of cake and rubbing it gently onto each other's faces—usually the cheek or tip of the nose.

U.S. Army Vet Goes Viral With Blistering Speech Ripping Trump For Deploying Troops To L.A.

A U.S. Army veteran went viral after she spoke out to encourage other current and former military members to publicly condemn President Donald Trump for using them as "pawns" to suit his own ends after he deployed the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles amid ongoing protests against his administration's immigration raids.

Trump has activated over 4,000 National Guard members and 700 Marines, despite opposition from city and state leaders. He has painted a bleak picture of Los Angeles—claims that Mayor Karen Bass and Governor Gavin Newsom say are wildly exaggerated.

She and her older sister, Malia, now 26, spent their formative years in the presidential residence, growing up there throughout their father’s two terms, until the family departed in 2017.

Trump Dragged After Hilariously Flubbing Insult About Biden's Mental Acuity

The term malaphor means when two or more colloquial phrases or idioms get confused and combined to create something nonsensical. According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), malaphors are a common symptom of frontotemporal dementia or other cognitive impairments.

So when a person seeks to accuse someone of being unintelligent, their use of malaphors is ironic and possibly very telling—narcissists will always accuse others of their own faults and failures.
