“Trump Sounds Off: Are Immigrants Stealing More Than Just Your Vanity Plates?”

Ah, the campaign trail—a place where policy discussions often take a sharp detour into the absurd! In a fresh twist on immigration rhetoric, former President Donald Trump recently ventured into the wild world of vanity license plates, claiming that undocumented immigrants are hijacking the savvy and sentimental plates that Americans rightfully deserve. Picture this: emotional citizens lamenting the loss of personalized plates that scream creativity—like “DOGLOVR” and “HOT ROD”—because they’ve been spirited away by families from south of the border. Can you imagine the outrage of being denied your coveted “JEEPERS” because it’s affixed to a non-Jeep sedan? It’s a bizarre blend of license plate envy and political theater that’s sure to have folks shaking their heads in disbelief. Buckle up, because this is a ride worth taking! LEARN MORE.

PHOENIX—Appealing to his base with a new line of attack against immigrants, former President Donald Trump took to the campaign trail Monday to warn that those in the country illegally were taking all the good vanity plates. “Every day, people come up to me to tell me they can’t get the very clever, personalized license plate they want because it has been stolen away by someone who came here from Mexico or Venezuela,” said Trump, who claimed without evidence that Americans visiting their local DMVs were unable to secure top-tier plates, including ones that read “DOGLOVR,” “HOT ROD,” and “CHILLIN,” because they had already been assigned to vehicles driven by immigrants. “These illegal drivers are taking all the best initials, the plays on words, the ones using the number ‘2’ to mean the word ‘to.’ And it’s so sad. I talked to a man, he had tears in his eyes, he said, ‘Mr. President, my wife has a jeep. I wanted to get her a plate that said JEEPERS. They said no, no JEEPERS, no JEEPER5, not even J33P3RS. It was taken by some Mexican family for their sedan.’ It wasn’t even a jeep—isn’t that terrible, folks?” Trump went on to speculate that if Kamala Harris was elected, she would make it illegal for Americans to register plates that use repeated consecutive letters to imitate vernacular pronunciations such as “DUUUUDE” and “GURRRRL.”
