I love that Roberta Kaplan is such a classy lady that when he tried on the "c u next Tuesday" it flew right past her and she was simply puzzled instead of offended like he wanted.
Literally, her own classiness robbed him of the pleasure of seeing his infantile joke land.
Nothing wrong with understanding the phrase, and plenty of classy ladies do, I'm sure, but I am really just enjoying how his own incredibly low gutter character itself robbed Trump of all the reward of trying to call Roberta Kaplan a cunt: it was literally too low for her and sailed right by.
In the moment he tried it and it failed to land he probably just seemed stupid and confused. Which, to be fair, might be his superpower at this point. He's turning out to be the Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi of own goals.
I don't get it, what is c u next Tuesday?
Wait am I trump
First letter of each word spells out "cunt," a rude term in the states for a "terrible woman."
"see you next tuesday" phonetically spells it out, and is a passable normal phrase. Its also a sexist joke that a 12 yr old would tell. The fact that it qualifies as humor/spite for a 77yr old ex president is sad as fuck.
To be fair I'm surprised he still has enough mastery of the written word to come up with that all by himself. This may be his crowning intellectual achievement.
Its not an original. It's been around for a very long time.

If you don't understand the phrase, wouldn't that make you Roberta Kaplan, not Trump?
No no I think he believes that Tuesday is just the naughty day for some reason
Like I didn't know why 69 was the "sexy number" until I got a girlfriend
