MAGA Furious After iPhone Voice-To-Text Glitch Briefly Transcribed 'Racist' As 'Trump'

After users noticed a bizarre "glitch" for Apple's voice-to-text feature in which the word "racist" briefly appeared as "Trump" before changing to the correct word, Apple confirmed that they've deployed a fix—but MAGA is crying foul.

MAGA doesn't like it when they—or their hero, Republican President Donald Trump—are referred to as racists, especially if it's coming from a huge multinational tech company like Apple.

Apple came under fire recently for a glitch reported by several iPhone users who use the voice dictation feature. When saying "racist," the text result briefly displays "Trump" before it's replaced by "racist."


"I almost didn’t believe my eyes," said TikToker @celestialhippy, who shared a video of her husband demonstrating what happened when he pressed the mic feature in messages and said "racist" into the phone.

"It literally changes to #trump 😂" said the TikToker.

The video showed the iPhone screen with "Trump" visible in the field above the keyboard and quickly changing to "racist" as the husband intended at the beginning of the video.

"That's crazy!" he said to the camera.

I almost didn’t believe my eyes. It literally changes to #trump 😂 Edit to add- when you realize that I’m not lying and this is legit atleastttt give me a follow 😩lmaooo

After being alerted to the glitch, Apple said they were working on fixing the problem.

Apple said the speech recognition models behind its dictation feature would occasionally display the wrong word with phonetic overlap before switching to the correct word.

The company didn't comment further to explain how the voice-to-text feature would have interpreted "racist" as "Trump."

They issued the following statement on Tuesday.

“We are aware of an issue with the speech recognition model that powers Dictation and we are rolling out a fix today.”

While the problem was being addressed, MAGA conservatives were in an uproar over the political bias gaffe, and they bashed Apple for it.







Meanwhile, proponents of the snafu cheered for its accuracy.





Trump's actions and remarks have long prompted accusations of racism and sexism, and the people who support him or are in his inner circle have been known to be bigoted, like White nationalist Stephen Miller, his former top advisor.

On day one of his second term inauguration, Trump cracked down on his anti-immigration stance as he said he would by calling for the mass deportation of illegal immigrants.

He signed an anti-discrimination executive order that rejected policies tied to DEI (diversity, equity, inclusion), a coded racist term used by conservatives to undermine qualified department head candidates.

He also parroted baseless claims steeped in racism when he said during the presidential debate against his then-challenger, former Democratic VP Kamala Harris, that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, were eating people's pets.

Trump's reputed racism goes back to 1973 when the Justice Department sued him, his father, Fred, and Trump Management for racial discrimination.

The federal lawsuit alleged they told Black people who were interested in renting apartments in their buildings that they were not available, while units were rented to White people.

The case was settled two years later.
