Trump tells us what the most beautiful word in the dictionary is - tarrifs.
I wouldn't have known that Trump said this if I hadn't seen it in this HuffPost article:
DETROIT (AP) — Donald Trump paced his rally stage in silence for nearly 20 minutes Friday night in Detroit after his microphone cut out.
The Republican nominee and former president was about to wax on about one of his favorite subjects, tariffs, working up to naming it by first teasing “the most beautiful word in the dictionary.” Very quickly afterward, the sound went down.
I assume he was going on to say that the most beautiful word in the dictionary is "tariffs."
Webster's Third New International Dictionary, Unabridged, together with its 1993 Addenda Section, includes some 470,000 entries. I found it telling that of all these words, some of which by no stretch of the imagination can be called beautiful, Trump selected the word tariffs.
I assume that if Trumpism was in the dictionary he would say that this was the most beautiful word. It isn't there. I expect that within a year it may be added.
Hitlerism is there.
There are those who would consider this a beautiful word, and since Trumpism isn't there by default they might say this was the most beautiful word in the dictionary.
If I had to chose one word as the most beautful in the dictionary I'd chose this one:
Others might select God. You say tomatoes and I say tomatohs. Both words are a far cry from tarrifs although taxes are referenced at least 30 times in the Bible, for example: "But the tax collector, standing some distance away, was even unwilling to lift up his eyes to heaven, but was beating his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, the sinner!’" (Luke) "And when he came into the house, Jesus spoke to him first, saying, 'What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth collect customs or poll-tax, from their sons or from strangers?' ” (Matthew) I think this is yet another glimpse into the disordered mind of Donald Trump. This goes beyond his usual grandiose narcissism. We know Trump speaks in absolutes and hyperpbole. He has the biggest brain, he's the smartest person on any subject. To everything good he wants to brag about about himself he adds an "est" to. Not a big brain, but the biggest brain.
He does this with his enemies as well. For example on the Dan Bongino show he referred to Judge Chutkin this way: "the judge is the most evil person." According to Trump she's not just an evil person, she's the most evil person.
As for the traffis, Trump could have said that he was going to talk about one of his favorite words in the dictionary. Instead he said he was going to talk about the most beautiful word in the dictionary.
If this was merely a one-off comment it would be irrelevant. It isn't. He shows signs of congitive deterioration not only whenever he goes off a teleprompter with his words and his so called "weave" way of Mexican jumping bean way of talking, but a few says ago when he saw him sway and awkwardly dance for a half hour . Below: Does this look like someone who is cognitively together?
We also saw this yesterday when he paced around the stage and turned his back to the audience as if he was lost for 20 minutes. He, for example, could have gone off-mic and talked to members of the audience. If he was thinking strategically he would have realized that this would have made the news. Whether or not there's time prior to the election for voters who intended to vote for Trump to realize, perhaps with sadness and sympathy, that he has dementia and that a vote for him is really a vote for Vance remains to be seen. It seems that it would be easier for people to accept this than to admit to themselves that they were sold a false bill of goods, that they were gullible, by someone who conned them.
Of course many, perhaps most, of the voters who realized this would vote for him anyway because they like Vance. There's not much time but they need to be convinced that if Trump is elected and continues to deteriorate Vance is in position to play Judas to Trump's Jesus through the 25th Amendment. Vance should be portrayed a an opportunist who knew Trump wouldn't make it through his term and enable him to, like Brutus, summarily get rid of Ceasar.
Addendum: Here's an article from PRIDE about Trump dancng to the gay anthem YMCA. Scroll down to see this uncensored animated X rated version of him dancing to YMCA.
