1. Hearing disorder possibly?

My brother has had a hearing deficiency all of his life. In younger years he would foul a baseball off a bat and describe it as a "kick" rather than the customary "tick." Trump may have had a similar circumstance in his youth.

3. In Philadelphia, it would be Biglig

Long "e" going into "g" gets turned into a short "i" in Philly

"Iggles" instead of "Eagles"

"Liggle" instead of "legal"

"Lig" instead of "league"

(meanwhile, Fluffians (Philadelphians) wonder 'what do you mean 'instead of'')

2. And all along I have been saying Duck Trump nt

[MANative]

4. As I've been saying since the first time I heard it. His diction is terrible.

5. Gotta give him credit

He's being more careful to edunceiate lately.

6. What the heck does big league mean?

Trump seems to have mashed 'big time'
and 'major league' into a nonsensical
word salad smorgasborg.
He was more right with Bigly.

8. big league is, uh, bigger than little league.

completely legitimate term.

7. as much fun as it is, i have to agree

if you listen closely, you can hear a very faint "g". it's hard to hear because he emphasizes the "big" and is very soft on the "league". if you miss the "g", it sounds like "bigly".

but that's not what he's saying, and given that he clearly *does* say "big league" a lot, it's hard to argue that he's making a very similar-sounding grammatical mistake instead of merely swallowing the "g" that he already under-emphasizes.


in any event, there's no mistaking things like "bad hombres" and "such a nasty woman" or any of the hundreds of other crazy, rotten things he's said....
