SAN DIEGO –I know I said I was taking a vacation for a week, but when Donald Trump invents a new word, I can’t resist jumping in.
(Extreme Vocabulary by Donald J. Trump)
Extreme Bedding: Courtship.
Extreme Debting: Business strategy of borrowing more than you can pay back, declaring bankruptcy, and not paying your bills.
Extreme Fretting: Hillary will take your guns. Mexicans will take your jobs. Muslims will take your lives. China will take your trade. The media will take away my victory.
Extreme Jetting: Air Force One is a Greyhound Bus compared to my plane.
Extreme Netting: I will build a net around Miami to prevent the spread of Zika.
Extreme Setting: Whether it be Trump Tower or Mar-a-Lago, make sure the backdrop illustrates that I’m really rich.
Extreme Sweating: Little Marco’s perspiration problem.
Extreme Vetting: If you believe Allah is God and Muhammad was his last prophet, you ain’t getting into the United States.
Extreme Weddings: Lavish is too modest to describe my weddings. They make the weddings of my wealthy Jewish accountants look like City Hall ceremonies.
Extreme Wetting: No, low-energy water boarding when I am president. Tie a cinder block around the neck of the terrorists and toss them in a well. They either divulge or drown.
