What does the phrase "type shit" mean ?

Let me use it in a sentence.

Trump is some type shit!
 
Lol, I have a bunch of late teens/college age grandkids in my family, and I hadn't heard that one yet. But, right now, nearly everything is either lit or low key something or other.

I recently heard a new one from one of them right after the Trump assassination attempt. They were talking about the picture of Trump with the blood, flag, and fist up. They said - "that's cold". I asked what that meant and their parent said - I was wondering the same thing. My grandchild explained and it seems it kind of means the same thing as wow or cool or impressive?
 
I've seen plenty of people type shit, especially since the invention of the intertubes.
 
Give an example of a sentence with it.

Sit down at a keyboard. Press the "S" key. Then press the "H" key, then the "I" key, then the "T" key. This is not rocket surgery.

Maybe you can ask them if they know "type shit" ...

I know "lit".

Or "that's fire".

Low key is something placed on the lower part of a shelf, right ?

That's the problem ... they say any sentence and then they add "type shit", "type shit".

You're claiming they might say "Ah, it's a nice day, the weather has warmed up" is followed by that phrase? Can you link examples of people using it?

Which, for a German speaker, is completely confusing and ghetto slang.

It typically means “type of thing”, but uses profanity for rhetorical emphasis.

I saw it in English-speaking Youtube videos (to improve my English), maybe I can find one again ...

And yes, they said a sentence like yours ... followed by "type shit."

And I thought to myself: what did these people just say ?

Often, extraneous words are added to conversation without intending to mean anything. Examples include (frequently) adding “um”, “like” or “you know”.
