The Pattern of ‘Tippy Top’: An Unmistakable Inside Joke
For those unfamiliar with the term, it refers to an online phenomenon that gained notoriety during the early stages of internet culture. This started in April 2018.
During a White House Easter Egg Roll event, President Trump addressed the crowd and said:
> “Our country is doing great… Nothing’s ever easy, but we have never had an economy like we do right now… Our military is at a level… that it has never been before. Thank you all…”
Later in his remarks:
> “…think of $700 billion because that’s all going into our military this year. So I want to thank you all for being here.”
He emphasized the phrase “tip-top shape” twice, with notable emphasis.
This was not a random occurrence. The origin story begins on an anonymous online platform in January 2018. An unknown individual wrote: “Maybe Q can work in the phrase ‘tip-top’ into the State of the Union address as a shout-out to us.”
Months later at the Easter event, President Trump delivered that exact line, saying “tippy top” – or variations thereof.
The significance lies not just in his public statement, but in the context provided by those familiar with online communities like r/Anonymous. The phrase “Tippy Top” became code for Q’s presence and influence during this time period, serving as a direct confirmation to Anons (anonymous posters) that their belief was validated, even without explicitly addressing the movement.
The individual responsible for highlighting this connection noted: “So Anon wrote on January 29th, 2018… ‘Maybe you can incorporate ‘tippy top’ into Trump’s State of the Union address…'”
This event transpired in April 2018. Following that, President Trump has reportedly used similar phrases or variations strategically at various public appearances to signal his awareness and perhaps support for these theories.
The individual added: “He even says it after this moment…” referring to a subsequent rally where he stated:
> “Our nuclear deterrent is getting very tired. They hadn’t spent the money on it. And now we have it in, as you would say, tip-top shape.”
Again using “tippy top”.
This pattern continued into later events, including references around Christmas time, reinforcing the idea of a deliberate nod to an online phenomenon that emerged nearly seven years earlier.
The conclusion drawn by many is clear: these instances represent repeated, intentional acknowledgments and signals directed towards specific internet communities.
