Most people, on first seeing the design, immediately saw it as filth, and something that small children shouldn’t be allowed to view.

The logo, rolled out shortly after presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump announced IN governor Mike Pence as his running mate, is comprised of Trump’s “T” ramming into Pence’s “P”, a softcore messaging malfunction that sent Internet commentators straight to stroking their keyboards.
At Slate J. Bryan Lowder offers one possible interpretation, writing that the logo “very accurately conveys the attributes Trump wants associated with his political and personal brand-namely, that he has a penis and he uses it to screw people”.

Specifically, the charge is that the T looks kind of like a penis-and that it appears, as Trump might say, to be shlonging the P in Pence, at least symbolically. Others still have also pointed out that Trump and Pence’s initials are the same as an abbreviation for a popular home paper product. Journalist Mark Harris mused over Trump’s confusion on seeing the logo for the first time. This guy was more to the point in his tweet. He may be forced by convention to choose a running mate to occasionally share the stage, but in this relationship, Trump is on top.
