That's four punctuation marks in between four characters, which is, aesthetically speaking, excessive AF.。

It's the grammar equivalent of this GIF:。

What was that punctuation conversation like:。

Period: "Brb, I gotta go help out the younger Donald Trump."。

。Oh, and in case you were wondering, yes, the article was a direct clap back at Michael Colton's initial tweet, as evidenced by the fact 。

The New Yorker。 literally embedded Colton's tweet at the top of the article. (。Writer's note: Yassss, New Yorker. A trolling!) 。

And, taking everything in stride,

The New Yorker。

also noted that the decision is likely to be as controversial as the publication's use of diaeresis (you know, those two dots that appear above the second vowel in words like “naïve”) and for its use of double consonants.。

"This styling doesn’t come up very often in the magazine, and its occurrence in a headline of sorts has brought it a weird kind of notoriety. Now it can comfortably stand alongside the diaeresis and 'focussing,'" writes Boynton。

---

At the end of the day, punctuation debate aside, the meaning is the same: The President of the United States' son said he would love a meeting with a Russian government lawyer to talk HRC dirt.

And while everyone is sorting out what that means, make sure you take a second and smell the commas. After all: hell hath no fury like a grammar nerd scorned.。
