"Many such cases", "bigly", "very, very large brain", "good genes", "This has been the worst trade deal in the history of trade deals, maybe ever" and "and some, I assume, are good people" have involuntary become part of my vocabulary.
I'm sorry for your loss.
"And some, I assume, are good people" has entered my vocabulary, but in mockery of that attitude
MEXICANS.
He lives in Mexico’s hat and can only make an ASSUMPTION that there are at least two Mexican-born persons in the US who are good people.
Glad y’all also remember this one b/c it’s mind numbing.
I just love how the last part parses.
They're rapists. And some (of those rapists?), I assume, are good people.
It's ridiculous, but also he probably does think some rapists are good people.
Surely he knows he isn't a good person?
I don't he ever thinks about goodness as a concept, other than to mention it performatively while grifting people.
My favorite is "to a lesser extent Tiffany" I add that shit to everything
"Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes....."
I use that almost every day.
Doesn't he say "nukular"? He seems like the type that would mispronounce that.
We use covfefe a lot in our house, as well
China pronounced as “jina”
“Fake news” (ironically)
“Worst blank in the history of blank, maybe ever”
Also fuck Trump. Should’ve been 3 inches more accurate.
“It is what it is”
i don't think he coined that one, though he is terrifically old, so maybe he did 75 plus years ago, idk. i'm sure he would happily take credit for it if it got people to pay attention to him.
According to the New York Times, the phrase it is what it is appeared as early as an 1949 article by J.E. Lawrence in The Nebraska State Journal. Lawrence used the phrase when describing the difficulty faced during frontier-era life in Nebraska:
“New land is harsh, and vigorous, and sturdy. It scorns evidence of weakness. There is nothing of sham or hypocrisy in it. It is what it is, without apology.”
It is what it is picked up steam in the 21st Century. A 2004 USA Today article by Gary Mihoces, titled “It is what it is,” pointed out that the phrase had become popular in sports about losses. Mihoces cited over a dozen examples of athletes and coaches using the phrase in that year alone.

I also use Jina now and it really bothers me, but I can't pronounce it correctly anymore. He ruined me.
✊😔
I often say “it’s yuge” 😔
"Tested negatively, that is, positively towards negative, tested perfectly"
It's funny because I remember being confused by the terms when I was a kid. To see a president worry about it was bonkers.
Admiral general aladeen fixed this problem by standardizing terminology.
We do a little trolling.
I regularly say "Art of the deal" ironically when I observe someone win in a low stakes negotiation. I guess that's also kinda it's always sunny but it's definitely trumpian as well
"more and more people are saying it"
+1 for "bigly"
-
very legal very cool (how he describes his business dealings with Russia)
-
so amazing + will never forget (what he wrote in the Holocaust museum visitors book)
I call myself a stable genius on a regular basis
Covfefe

Trump's only contribution to humanity, change my mind
This has got to be the worst use of a Venn diagram I have ever seen.
Sad!
XXXTENTACION got you covered
And Dubya of course... Misunderestimate, "how is our children learning", "put food on your family", "mission accomplished"
Fool me once, shame one you. Fool me twice, never get fooled again.
fool me once, shame on you, but teach a man to fool me, and i'll be fooled for the rest of my life.
The following poem is composed of actual quotes from George W. Bush.
MAKE THE PIE HIGHER by George W. Bush
I think we all agree, the past is over. This is still a dangerous world. It's a world of madmen and uncertainty and potential mental losses.
Rarely is the question asked Is our children learning? Will the highways of the Internet become more few? How many hands have I shaked?
They misunderestimate me. I am a pitbull on the pantleg of opportunity. I know that the human being and the fish can coexist. Families is where our nation finds hope, where our wings take dream.
Put food on your family! Knock down the tollbooth! Vulcanize society! Make the pie higher! Make the pie higher!
God he felt like he had the Simpsons writers doing his PR. How did he come up with such brilliantly wrong material.
Big talk about hidden nucular weapons in those days.

There should be a third circle with The Simpsons.
I think it might be Hitler who coined "fake news" and a couple of the others.
They said lying press, but yes, same bullshit playbook.

I don't often get to say "weed wide enough to wrap a fairy in." Sad.
