It's like when of his new words enters the vernacular and I hate it but also it's ugh actually great. Like covfefe. Or, "SAD!" though I know he's not the real inventor of that one.

wow, that I did not know! (about "Sad!") that's some deep lore! Goes back even before the first election I think.

The way I remember it is @joshtpm.bsky.social memeifying it at some point in 2015 or so but it may have come from elsewhere. I always figured Trump had to have actually used it at some point, but maybe it was just a "print the legend" kind of thing.

Wait, “Sad!” predates Trump?

Yeah I need more info too, heh. It was definitely a stock Trump utterance you'd use to mock him by the time he was president, whether he himself ever actually used it or not.

He's definitely made using, "Sad!" as an ending to a comment a thing. I can't attribute it to him entirely honestly because I think it's such a short, common utterance.

I feel like he popularlized it but I'm pretty sure my dad has been going, "Sad!" after a lot of my antics my whole life lol
