Man, this guy's vocabulary makes me feel dumber for having read it. Everything is "like you wouldn't believe" or "never seen before".
And the worst part: I know I don't take him as seriously because of how he communicates, and I need to remind myself he's a genuine threat to our country.
"the likes of which this country has never seen before"
The most best threat folks. And I have the best most best threats.
It's organized crime talk. E.g. "Take care of it" can mean so many things. You talk in generalized words and let your underlings sort it out.
"They just hate me for political reasons, it's a witch hunt! They're corrupt!"..."Wait until I'm president again. There will be political witch hunts. I am corrupt."
SCOTUS: ”This is fine”
Not "this is fine", but more like "pssst, this is how to do it".
So…same ol’ same ol’, “Just say shit to keep my name on the front page”?
Donald J. Trump is weird and creepy. He’s like a zit the you pop and it just keeps coming back, except this one’s got wispy orange hair sprouting out of it.

Wait until you read "Mein Kampf".
Most stupid book I've ever read...
He also emphasized that his promised post-election crackdown would be sweeping in nature, claiming targets would include "Lawyers, Political Operatives, Donors, Illegal Voters, & Corrupt Election Officials." Hundreds if not thousands of people could ultimately be detained, he suggested, writing: "Those involved in unscrupulous behavior will be sought out, caught, and prosecuted at levels, unfortunately, never seen before in our Country."

I didn't speak up when they came for the journalists, for I was not a journalist...
I didn't speak up for the journalists because I was a pathetic hack that would do anything for money.
