Heard? Maybe. Understood? Doubtful. But he does have a certain antenna for terms people are suddenly talking about on social media and/or Fox News, so of course it popped into his brain as something about which he could claim special knowledge and expertise.
His first though on the subject was probably, “What, there’s a shortage of chains?”
Exactly. This seems very very common among know-it-all types with asymmetric insight. It’s funny ( and/or infuriating ) because I’ve been hearing the younger MAG-hats throwing RW boilerplate talking points around as though they’re sharing newly found secrets with the world. Too bad for them ( and us ) that these talking points were trite and dis-proven back in the 1990s…back when they were still in Pampers.
Which reminds me of this:
“You know what the supply chain is? It’s the chain I go and get, and beat you with until you give me some ruttin’ supplies!” /JanyeCobb
That pig fucker is still drawing breath.
Please don’t demean the pigs.
Unions for Trump - just another scam - another paid performance act.
I’m sure this will be a headline and talk show item on Faux, Newsmin, and QAnon.

Potemkin Pumpkin President.
…offering only an immature amateur’s imprimatur
I might have posted it here, but right after Putin invaded Ukraine after Loser 45 lost, I said:
Extortion, blackmail, traps. Goddamn it pisses me off every time he says this shit. This kind of behavior was never even considered in US presidential politics until this hateful, vengeful, greedy piece of shit got involved. I hate what he has done political discourse in this country. He’s trying to normalize every vile and evil impulse known to man for his own benefit.
Did it occur to Trump that extortion and blackmail are already illegal? Is a senator going to come into the Oval Office and attempt to extort the president of the United States?
And they’re already threatening (and incompetently trying) to impeach an official for FUCKING DOING HIS JOB.
So of course they are going to pull this shit in the future. It’s what they do.
“Protect Presidential Immunity” — how can you protect something that doesn’t exist?
(Silly me, of course the idea is to convince the MAGAsses that the Evil Deep State is trying to take something away from their God-Emperor so that he can’t use it to Fight For Them™.)
Donald Trump’s entire life experience has taught him that a fundamental truth is: do illegal stuff, and nothing will happen to you.
In a way you can’t blame him for generalizing what to him is an essential principle of human existence.
And I don’t blame a cockroach for scuttling across my kitchen floor. It’s a cockroach having an essential principle of cockroach existence.
Doesn’t keep me from trying to step on it.
I’m with you there.
I just note that Trump is unlikely to base any of his pronouncements on a realization that extortion and blackmail are illegal. Those are words utterly without meaning to him (except as they can be employed to smear opponents).
Got to run the country like a business. Or the Mob. One of those. 
Note that he’s here explicitly promising to violate the law: Article 6, Clause 2 states:
This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.
