Trumpanese, Again

Washington, D.C. - If you haven't done it by now, buy that Babbel app so that you can learn Trumpanese, the foreign language spoken only by Don.

Last week, Trump told us, "I have probably done more in the first two years than any President, any Administration, in the history of our country." Translation? "I've done more. More harm, that is, and I'm proud of it."

Trump's favorite word these days is the "wall". "Wall" doesn't mean a physical barrier. It means, "I'm going to get my way come hell or high water or I'll throw a tantrum and make everyone suffer."

Recently, Trump has taken to naming "acting" staff to fill vacant positions. Today, he proudly claimed, "I like 'acting'."

When Trump says "acting" he means, "I've hired some actors who will pretend to do the job" or in some cases, "I'm putting the fox in charge of the hen house and there's not a thing you can do about it".

Do you want to survive the Trump Administration? Become fluent in Trumpanese.
