Wait, what Trumpian phrases are you using?
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.
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”
“more and more people are saying it”
-
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.”
Covfefe
CHINA
JINA
GHINA
Trump’s only contribution to humanity, change my mind
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.
God he felt like he had the Simpsons writers doing his PR. How did he come up with such brilliantly wrong material.
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!
Big talk about hidden nucular weapons in those days.
There should be a third circle with The Simpsons.
That circle is coincident with Shakespeare.
I just realized that’s the root word of coincidental but pronounced differently because?
English, you’re dumb.
Is it pronounced differently? I have always pronounced it the same (but without the -al, obviously)
I’ve always heard it as co-in-sigh-dent as the root, but that could also be a regional thing.
That’s how I’ve heard coincide pronounced, for sure. Language do be like that.
I bite my thumb at you.
cur!
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.
many such cases
