Another day, another conservative getting self-owned on social media.
This time around it's Ohio Republican Representative and accused sexual assault enabler Jim Jordan, one of former Republican President Donald Trump's most ardent supporters.
So ardent, in fact, that he posted a one-word tweet adulating the former President. So Twitter did what it does best—turned it into a meme and a Twitter game.
It all began when Jordan tweeted the following:
Trump.— Rep. Jim Jordan (@Rep. Jim Jordan) 1646845330
Just, "Trump." Apropos of nothing. No context, no commentary, just: "Trump." Okay then!
Now, to be fair, this is a whole lot better than some of the other stuff Jordan has been saying lately, like blaming Democratic President Joe Biden for gas prices (over which the President has almost no control, which is why gas prices have soared all over the world, not just the United States).
Or like when he said a couple weeks ago that he agrees with former President Trump that campaign aides to his 2016 election opponent, former Democratic Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, should be executed.
And, of course, there's the recent trove of incriminating information about Jordan's lengthy phone call with Trump on the morning of January 6. (Wonder what they talked about? Probably just sports or whatever.)
So in the grand scheme of things, a weird, sort of pathetic, definitely sycophantic tweet cheering for Trump is probably the least of our worries when it comes to Jim Jordan. But you know Twitter wasn't about to let it go.
Instead, they used Jordan's brown-nosing tweet as a sort of Jeopardy-style prompt to take digs at Trump, and a roast of the former President quickly ensued.

Jordan seems to be unfazed by his face plant and has been hard at work posting tweet after tweet of disinformation about all sorts of things. But his last Twitter face-plant was only two days before this one, so just give him time.
