Wait, what Trumpian phrases are you using?
"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
lol hadn’t seen the clip
"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.
yep, which is why i said more than 75 years ago. he'd've had to have coined it prior to the publication of that article.
Yeah, I was agreeing with you, just adding further info for anyone else who's curious.
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” 😔
Don't worry, you can just say you got that from Bernie.
Wow, that’s yuger! Shoulda thought of that
"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.
"more and more people are saying it"
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
+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
(Note that every answer is someone intentionally using a phrase to make fun of him, not unknowingly using a phrase because of "how much he impacted the language" )
(Okay now that I think about it, I guess people who don't know wouldn't be answering the question, but I still think that the premise is silly)
"We need to shut thing down until we figure out how it happens."
