Poles everywhere: Don’t drag us into this.

Of course, Trump was referring to the “polls,” as in polling booths, not natives of Poland, Santa’s home or what you might find in a strip club. He deleted the initial tweet, but that didn’t stop Twitter’s TWTR, +2.46% peanut gallery from making “Poles” a trending topic:
Trump put up another tweet with the correct spelling, and it was quickly flagged by Twitter as “disputed” and potentially “misleading” about the election.
