There may be adequate contention over Donald Trump being the funniest politician in modern history. He is allegedly & arguably the most unacceptable candidate of any major Western political party in our living memory, let alone the leader of its most powerful state.
Brazenly dishonest at times, liking radical and impetuous rhetorics and haughty of most political conventions, he also stands to be the funniest politician in decades.
He seems to have possessed the wit of the schoolyard tormentor, and an exceptional proficiency to find an opponent’s frailty. He initially built a following not just as a self-promoting real estate agent but also through the world of wrestling, where he is told to have perfected the art of the heel.
However, he famously reached also the level of the presidency by being one of the all-time great posters, humorous and heartless to an identical extent.
Among the phrases he has popularised are “Haters and losers.” In one of his tweets, in 2014, he wrote: “Every time I speak of the haters and losers I do so with great love and affection. They cannot help the fact that they were born fucked up!”
He used the phrase again when he twittered “I would like to wish everyone, including all haters and losers (of which, sadly, there are many) a truly happy and enjoyable Memorial Day.”
Many such cases have also become a common phrase as a result of his 2014 tweet: “Healthy young child goes to the doctor, gets pumped with massive shot of many vaccines, doesn’t feel good and changes — AUTISM. Many such cases!”
He is said to have popularized the word “bigly,” presumably a mishearing of “big league.” GET THOSE LIGHTS OFF has also become one more example of a meme.
“Very very impolite” and “Very nasty” are also added notably in the box of Trumpisms, as in “Barney Frank looked disgusting — nipples protruding — in his blue shirt before Congress. Very very unmannered.”
Further, “Bad bombers” is another Trump popularization, used in one of his most controversial speeches, where he talked about unlawful immigration: “We have some bad bombers here and we are proceeding to get them out,” he said, bringing limitless Internet online chatter.
“Not sending their best” is another one of Trump’s phrases that has entered common parlance, after a similarly provocative speech, about Mexicans. Despite this, Trump did pretty well among Hispanic voters in the year 2020.
In an even more additionally controversial moment, he called for “a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what the hell is going on.”
The phrase has since been mimicked and parodied a thousand times.“Covfefe” was another Trumpism, after he tweeted out the typo “Despite the negative press covfefe,” which ended up being referenced in various television shows, appearing on T-shirts and dictionaries. This odd term was banned in Georgia.
As the Washington Post identified: “Personalized license plates bearing the [covfefe] typo were claimed across the country. Dozens upon dozens of applications for the word poured into the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
Linguists sought its pronunciation. A bill in the House was named after it, as was a racehorse. The bill failed; "the horse won.” “Who can figure out the true meaning of ‘covfefe’ ??? Relish!” Trump twittered.
