CHICAGO – When it comes to political conversations, you might expect topics like the economy, healthcare, or immigration to take center stage. But on day one of the Chicago DNC, one name kept popping up like that one song you can’t escape on the radio: Trump.
According to stats from the Trump War Room, here’s how the word count broke down:
- TRUMP: 147 times
- ECONOMY: 27 times
- BORDER: 8 times
- CRIME: 6 times
- PRICES: 5 times
- INFLATION: 3 times
Yes, you read that right. Trump’s name was dropped a whopping 147 times, which is more than five times as often as the word “economy.” The issues that people are constantly tweeting about? Barely a mention. “Crime” and “prices” were almost afterthoughts, and “inflation” might as well have been a footnote.
It’s almost like the DNC was hosting a roast instead of a convention—except instead of jokes, it was more like a relentless Trump talk show. Meanwhile, the actual pressing issues facing Americans, like inflation and crime, got the sidekick treatment.
At this rate, by the end of the week, we might need a bingo card to keep track of how many times the former president is name-dropped. Stay tuned—day two might just turn into the Trump Olympics.
