Make Bash Great Again

“Absolutely DISGRACEFUL that Bash scripts use “set -eu” instead of “set -USA”! Who’s making these decisions? Probably the radical left. We need STRONG scripting, the BEST scripting. Make Bash Great Again! 🇺🇸”

A parody Donald Trump tweet complains that Bash scripts use “set -eu” instead of the fictional “set -USA,” blaming the radical left and calling for “strong” and “the best” scripting. The joke imitates Trump’s political rhetoric and slogan while absurdly applying it to shell scripting. It is shared as a reaction to overconfident political framing of a technical preference.
