Actual wall will be built even morebiglybig league. America can't agree on much of anything during this Cromforsaken election, but at least now there is a definitive answer to one of the great mysteries: Donald Trump is saying "big league," not "bigly,"
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, "bigly" is an actual word, although Drumpf does not use it in the correct sense:

What I gather from this is that the Republican Party's primary voters decided that the best person to hold the nuclear launch codes is someone whose most basic utterances require months and a team of linguists to decipher.
Get out of my head Dok Zoom, I was thinking about this earlier ( the things that rent space in my head...) and pondered it during the last debate and posted about it : bigly, big lead, big league. " My love is in league with the freeway"
In the old days, when The National Enquirer was worth reading, they carried stories about homicidal dwarves, rampaging homicidal teenagers, dwarfish homicidal maniacs and pregnant teenage brides of killer dwarves.
They would also include stories featuring scientists who explained everyday phenomena in unique ways. They always had some graphs and grainy photos which were the PROOF of their truthiness.
It's good to see that these traditions remain with us.
Now lets get UC Berkeley linguistics professor Susan Lin to work on that homicidal teenage dwarf that's been inhabiting Donnie's body since the 50's. Enquiring minds need to know how that little guy got stuck inside such a giant asshole.
He enunciated more clearly at the 3rd debate and then immediately went back to his usual st00pidity.ETA - I too am sad and FML.
Now I am confused because the Fake Trump tweets are indistinguishable from the Real Trump tweets. Or does it even matter at this point?
Bigly is a word entered there too. Internet Official.
I don't think he has that great a grasp on reality so either way works.
We did some further analysis on what comes out of Trump's mouth and this is what we found: https://uploads.disquscdn.c...
Trump is Greg Stillson.
His former ghostwriter says his vocabulary consists of only around 200 words.
These linguists are WRONG. Bigly.

So... Kelleyanne is working for the Democrats now, I guess?

Trump used the word " corny" at the Al Smith dinner. It made me laugh. His look isn't the only thing dated.
One thing: With big'ly, accent is on first syllable; with big league', it is on the second. They sound different.
That second [g] is there, but the fucker isn't enunciating, so it ends up lost in the noise of the next syllable, or his overly-loud exhalations.
