Obamunist

Did you have the audacity to suggest ObamaCare seemed like a bad idea? Then you're a “typical wingnut douchebag.” Were you foolish enough to point out something the Obama administration did right? “Keep drinking that Obamunist Kool-Aid, dipshit.”

2011, Brian Sack, The B.S. of A.: A Primer in Politics for the Incredibly Disenchanted, page 25:

An anonymous commenter wrote into Carender's blog: "Success is yours, the Obamunists are on the run."

2012, Michael Grabell, Money Well Spent?: The Truth Behind the Trillion Dollar Stimulus, the Biggest Economic Recovery Plan in History, page 87:

The Traditional Values Coalition called for a stop to “Obamunists'” attempt to destroy private health care.

2018, Clyde Wilcox, Onward Christian Soldiers?: The Religious Right in American Politics, unnumbered page:

Bidenworld

As Dems’ fortunes appeared to sag after a summer burst of excitement, Bidenworld began to tamp down expectations.

2022 November 9, “POLITICO Playbook PM: Biden takes a moral-victory lap”, in POLITICO, archived from the original on 2022-11-09:

(informal) Joe Biden’s circle of associates, employees and appointees.


Obamaworld

Heading into 2016 and 2020, if you told the hotshots from Obamaworld that you thought Biden would be a good candidate, they would uniformly offer a look of infinite patience, tolerance and condescension and say something like, “Well, I could understand how someone would think that.”

2021 March 20, Maureen Dowd, “Old Pol, New Tricks”, in The New York Times:

(US politics, informal) Barack Obama's circle of associates, employees and appointees.


Trump bump

Named after Donald Trump, and chosen for the rhyme.

(informal) The increase in news media consumption associated with the United States presidency of Donald Trump.


QAnonsense

Will our next president need to replace Trump’s appointees with people who are loyal to our Constitution rather than Trump’s deep state swamp Qanonsense? Probably the sooner we find out the answer to that the better.

2020 June 5, Don Galloway, “After Trump is gone”, in The Press Democrat, Santa Rosa, California, Friday’s Letters to the Editor:

Those who subscribe to QAnonsense are too far gone, and the relatively sane Republicans will call you a socialist no matter what.

2021 January 20, Garrett Snedaker, “Letters to the Editor”, in The New York Times, page 26:

We would be wise not to laugh at the antics of Marjorie Taylor Greene, who has spouted QAnonsense and compared mask mandates to the Nazi treatment of Jews, or else she could ride similar waves of derision to even greater political heights.

2021 June 9, John Feffer, “We’re not out of the woods yet”, in The Nation:

Green New Deal

The right rallying call is for a “Green New Deal.” The New Deal was not built on a magic bullet, but on a broad range of programs and industrial projects to revitalize America. Ditto for an energy New Deal.

2007 January 19, Thomas L. Friedman, “A Warning From the Garden”, in The New York Times, →ISSN:

The claims are outlandish. The Green New Deal is, among other things, a plan to tightly regulate and upgrade the energy system so the United States gets 100 percent of its electricity from renewables in a decade.

2021 February 21, Naomi Klein, “Why Texas Republicans Fear the Green New Deal”, in The New York Times, →ISSN:

Nixonette

The entrance to the hotel was flanked, as if it were the doors of a potentate’s private suite, with two bands and the high-kicking Nixonettes.

1969, David English and the Staff of the London Daily Express, Divided They Stand, London: Michael Joseph Ltd, →ISBN, page 285:

At the Republican convention the nominee was staying in Key Biscayne, but you could not get in the Doral because you might assassinate a Nixonette.[…]I wanted to tell a Nixonette that it was a well-known fact that McGovern is anti-music and his advisors are still trying to decide his stand on the love question … but she’d probably just grin and nod and say “that’s right” in a positively Nixonette manner … and I’d get the grues again.

1972, “August 1972”, in Patty Newman, editor, Perched Like a Weather Vane, San Diego, Calif.: World Research, Inc., pages 89–90:

But, while I was still the girl my parents expected me to be, I was asked to be a Nixonette, and I merrily, unthinkingly donned my white dress and red, white, and blue banner. One of our Nixonette duties was to stand on the curb in front of the San Marino Republican Headquarters and welcome the candidate to town.

2007, Janet Mason Ellerby, “Richard Nixon and Me”, in Following the Tambourine Man: A Birthmother’s Memoir, Syracuse, N.Y.: Syracuse University Press, →ISBN, section “San Marino, 1962”, page 24:

Primarily coined because Trump's rapprochement efforts with North Korea were positively compared to the emperor's extensive mobilization of Chinese forces to support Korea during an immense Japanese invasion, but for some people, it may also sarcastically allude to the Wanli emperor's notorious incompetence in governing his own country.

Cannonism

(US politics, historical) Dominance over the House of Representatives and its discussions and debates, like that exerted by Joseph Gurney Cannon (1836–1926), Republican politician.


Trumpologist

Trumpologists will recall that Ivana first confronted Marla about her relationship with Donald on the slopes of Aspen.

1993 December 18, “Trump prepares to play wedding card”, in The Sacramento Bee, volume 274, Sacramento, Calif., page A2:

The big question this week among Trumpologists – practitioners of the new science of trying to decipher Donald Trump’s sequences of half-sentences that pass for speeches – is whether he has softened his rhetoric on immigration.

2016 August 31, Andrés Oppenheimer, “Donald Trump’s latest farce: ‘Humane’ mass deportations”, in The Fresno Bee, Fresno, Calif, page 2A:

When he fails to tweet for even a few hours, Trumpologists search for meaning in the silence.

2019 January 17, Ted Koppel, “Don’t expect Trump to go quietly”, in The Spokesman-Review, Spokane, Wash., page 3:


Trumpology

Perhaps, as Eugene Robinson stated in his column (TNT, 3-15), the Chicago protest may very well be noted as “the dawn of the resistance” to this caustic Trumpology.

2016 March 21, Sam Chandler, “We’re complicit if we don’t denounce Trump”, in The News Tribune, Tacoma, Wash., page 9A:

Like Kremlinology, Trumpology cannot provide definitive explanations. But it does enable us to lay out intelligent alternative interpretations of what the hell is going on.

2016 December 7, Gabriel Schoenfeld, “Could Trump’s advisers play him on Taiwan?”, in The Salinas Californian, Salinas, Calif., page 2A:

Everybody used to have an old uncle like him, and Trumpology is simply that old uncle with better lighting.

2017 March 1, Garrison Keillor, “Your crazy old uncle is now president”, in Chicago Tribune, Chicago, Ill., page 17:

In the jargon of Trumpology, the president has tossed a sop to his climate-change denying chief strategist, Steve Bannon, and disappointed his green daughter, Ivanka.

2017 June 2, Simon Jenkins, “Trump wants to shut out the world. Ditching the Paris deal proves it”, in The Guardian, London:

Here’s our guide to Trump’s Trumpology.[…]But Trumpology defies ridicule. Critics have been forced to swallow their pride and address the creeping influence of the President’s authorism in the English language, a “post-literate” style that has inflected discourse and internet hot-takes indiscriminately.[…]The Bloomberg editor Joe Weisenthal once, rather flightily, located the providence of Trumpology in Orality and Literacy, the work of 20th-century historian Walter J Ong. “Oral culture rewards redundancy, because when an audience can’t go back and consult a text, speakers must guard against distraction and confusion. Repetition is one useful technique, and Trump is a master of it.”

2020 October 21, Samuel Fishwick, “Covfefe? It’s ’uge. Donald Trump’s linguistic legacy”, in Evening Standard, London, page 7:

This is not, however, merely another addition to the annals of Trumpology.

2021 January 10, Talia Lavin, “Author examines what strongmen like Trump have in common”, in St. Louis Post-Dispatch, St. Louis, Mo., page B7:

Further, American and Christian concepts of love, caring, respectfulness and selflessness are trampled upon, and replaced with Trumpology, a hateful, egotistical, selfish and bullying way of dealing with others. Trump trumps everything if we allow him to. Please start standing up to the lies and deceitfulness so our nation can move to a place of healing rather than be lea^([sic]) into destruction by Trumpology.

2021 January 21, Greg Hegman, “Trump Trump’s everything if we allow him to”, in Times-News, Twin Falls, Ida., page A11:

Reports related to Trump’s second impeachment very well reflect the Trumpology of the last four years – lie as much as you find tolerable (and the tolerance levels have been moved out extensively), and cover the truth with more lies and deception.[…]Lies, deceit and corruption – the core of Trumpology.

2021 February 11, Greg Hegman, “Same old Trump”, in Times-News, Twin Falls, Ida., page A9:

Trumpdom

(Clue to today’s quiz: In her introduction to the Esquire profiles, to whom is Nora Ephron referring when she writes: “Look how happy he is in his Trumphood; look how merrily he floats in his Trumpdom; look how brightly he wallows in his Trumpness”?)

1989 June 2, Bob Sipchen, “Covering an Identity Crisis”, in Los Angeles Times, Los Angeles, Calif., page 11, columns 2–3:

As for being “Right here,” guest David Letterman was teleported in from New York, illusionists Siegfried and Roy were pretaped at their home in Las Vegas, and Donald Trump materialized on a TV monitor from somewhere within his crumbling Trumpdom.

1990 November 2, Tom Shales, “King’s variety show a failure”, in York Daily Record, York, Pa., page 1D:

Having for all intents and purposes conquered official Trumpdom, the truth also appears to be gaining a small foothold in the GOP grass roots.

2020 November 25, Scot Lehigh, “Biden takes his cue from Muhammad Ali as he copes with a dope”, in The Boston Globe, Boston, Mass., page A10, column 3:


Trumpness

[Ira] Bachrach adds: “The more you dilute the name, the more apparent it is to people that it is just a rubber stamp being used indiscriminately, and the less it is perceived to have a unique attribute of Trumpness.”

1989 February 19, Donald Woutat, “Don Trump: The art of the name”, in The Fresno Bee, Fresno, Calif., page D6, column 1:

And the most recent and disturbing example, Mike Pence, a devout Christian, abandoning his truthfulness, tainting his ability to stand above Trumpness, by saying Trump “did not mean what he said” in calling for the Ukraine and China to dig up dirt on Biden.

2019 November 10, Greg Hegman, “Letters to the Editor”, in Idaho Statesman, volume 155, number 108, Boise, Ida., page 11B, column 2:

Indeed, the very Trumpness of his speech is the key to the President’s appeal.

2020 November 4, Philip Collins, “‘Trumpness’ of Donald’s speech is key to his appeal”, in Evening Standard, London, page 14, column 2:

The property of being like Donald Trump.


Johnsonomics

Blend of Johnson + economics, equivalent to Johnson + -nomics.

With interest on the national debt at $100 billion annually, and the total debt at $1 trillion, these figures are not Reaganomics but Johnsonomics coming home to roost with an assist from Richard Nixon, Jerry Ford and Jimmy Carter.

1981 December 4, James H. Bolling, “Lundy column needs refuting”, in Tallahassee Democrat, number 338, Tallahassee, Fla., page 4A, columns 4–5:

This has been the going rate for as long as I can recall, and that goes back long before Reaganomics or Johnsonomics, or just about any nomics that can be mentioned.

1982 July 18, Jim Fox, “Weatherbird Is A Tradition That’s Hard To Buck”, in St. Louis Post-Dispatch, volume 104, number 196, St. Louis, Mo., page 1C, column 1:

The Eagle quotes Professor Shapiro as being “infuriated by Reagonomics.” Would he be less infuriated by Trumanomics or Johnsonomics, with another nice little war to drive the suicide rate down?

1982 November 2, John S. Kebabian, “Statistics on suicide”, in The Berkshire Eagle, volume 90, number 149, Pittsfield, Mass., page 8, column 5:

“Reaganomics and its failure is the same as Carteronomics, Johnsonomics and Nixonomics,” David W. Ring said at an hour-long faculty seminar at the college’s Hunt Union yesterday afternoon.

1983 April 14, Diane Boyer, “Reaganomics dubbed trend, not turnabout”, in The Evening Press, Binghamton, N.Y., page 1B, column 2:

I don’t understand Reaganomics and never have. Of course I never understood Carternomics, Fordonomics, Nixonomics, Johnsonomics, or Kennedynomics either. The best I have been able to figure out is that you just send all you can to Washington and hope to get a little in return.

1992, Bo Whaley, “Things I Just Don’t Understand”, in Why the South Lost THE War ...and Other Things I Don’t Understand, Nashville, Tenn.: Rutledge Hill Press, →ISBN, section “A Few Things I Don’t Understand”, page 20, column 2:

(US politics, rare) Economic policies associated with the administration of Lyndon B. Johnson, 1963–1969.


Trumanomics

Blend of Truman + economics, equivalent to Truman + -nomics.

WHY, in all the recent talk about the Man from Independence, didn’t we hear anyone mention Trumanomics?

1984 May 15, William D. Tammeus, “Starbeams”, in The Kansas City Star, Kansas City, Mo., page 10A, column 4:

When Dewey told Eisenhower that he wanted to limit the role of the federal government to merely underwriting the cartels, he was calling for the stabilization of Trumanomics: the preservation of the separation of government, the cartels, and the economy.

1986, H.R. Shapiro, Democracy in America: A Political History of the United States, 1620-1789/1984, page 456:

A closer look at Trumanomics is in order, since Kuttner praises the “crusty populist” and his economic adviser Leon Keyserling as friends of full employment and economic planning.

No, go for Trumanomics

1996 August 13, David Chaffey, “Letters”, in The Modesto Bee, Modesto, Calif., page A-9:

(US politics, rare) Economic policies associated with the administration of Harry S. Truman, 1945–1953.


Fire-Eater

(US politics) Alternative form of fire-eater (“extreme partisan for the South before the US Civil War”)


Lincolnomics

Blend of Lincoln + economics, equivalent to Lincoln + -nomics.

It’s little wonder the Republicans are always so anxious about midterm elections. They lost ground in the very first one — when Abraham Lincoln was in the White House, in 1862. The Democrats picked up 38 House seats in that election, and they might have won more if President Lincoln hadn’t used federal troops to intimidate the opposition in some of the border-state contests. Democrats even won a majority of the House seats from Lincoln’s home state of Illinois. Was it a signal to Washington that Lincolnomics had failed? Not at all.

1982 November 14, “The missing message”, in Craig Klugman, Larry J. Hayes, editors, The Journal~Gazette, Fort Wayne, Ind.: Richard Inskeep, column 1:

THE LITTLE boy next door reports that his class now is studying the Civil War and Lincolnomics.

1982 December 8, William D. Tammeus, “Starbeams”, in The Kansas City Star, volume 103, number 69, Kansas City, Mo., page 16A:

1984, John H. Hotson, Rooseveltonomics, Reaganomics, and Lincolnomics, or, How Come the Bankers Are Charging Ron 10 Percent, when FDR Got His Money at 2 Percent, and Honest Abe Got His for Nothing?, Waterloo, Ont.: Department of Economics, University of Waterloo, →OCLC

The only people practicing Lincolnomics these days are the Soviets, which may be why they can afford more missiles and tanks than we can despite a much smaller economy.

1987 February 2, Charley Reese, “Today’s civil-rights and welfare groups would jump on Lincoln”, in The Orlando Sentinel, Orlando, Fla., page A-10, column 2:

(US politics, rare) Economic policies associated with the administration of Abraham Lincoln, 1861–1865.


Team Facha

2021 September 18, D. P., “Ylenia, inesperada musa del 'team facha'”, in El Mundo:

Si el team facha —como se llaman a sí mismos los tuiteros de derechas en su afán por reapropiarse del término en clave de humor y orgullo— encumbraba al periodista no hace tantos meses por cuestionar al comité de expertos y la desescalada marcada por el Gobierno, por responder a Echenique cuando señaló a Vicente Vallés o por su brutal repaso a Pablo Iglesias cuando señaló a la prensa durante su campaña electoral, ahora ha ido contra él.

2021 July 13, “Furia tuitera contra Carlos Alsina por sus palabras sobre Miquel Iceta”, in El Español:

Lo han definido como “el cura del Team Facha”, pero él huye de las etiquetas.

2007 May 30, James Thorner, “Trump pulls out of project”, in St. Petersburg Times, volume 123, number 310, St. Petersburg, Fla.: Times Publishing Co., page 10A, column 2:

Former New Yorkers are our signature human resource. Without them, we’d be a Trump-less backwater, an oceanfront Bradenton, a place where full-contact shopping, recreational medical treatment and Liza Minnelli tickets would be unattainable fantasies.

2009 February 25, Frank Cerabino, “New Yorkers need to feel more at home”, in The Palm Beach Post, volume 101, number 18, West Palm Beach, Fla., page 1B, column 1:

In a normal (meaning Trump-less) campaign, Bush’s address at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in California would have made more of a splash.

Sandersism

But Sandersism could easily become a path for becoming as substance-free as where the Republicans are.

2015 January 21, Jonathan Bernstein, “Sanders's siren song in the Democratic debate”, in BusinessMirror, page A10:

[…] as noted by the rise of Trumpism and Sanderism in the U.S. presidential election of 2016.

2018, Rosemary Papa, Shadow W. J. Armfield, editors, The Wiley Handbook of Educational Policy, page 19:

It could be that the rise of Sanderism just after the withering away of those earlier movements is what makes the connection, in the minds of many, between the movements and his campaign so vivid, so strong.

2020 April, Jason E. Smith, “Life Comes At You Fast”, in The Brooklyn Rail:

let's go, Brandon

From a 2021 interview with racing driver Brandon Brown when a reporter incorrectly described NASCAR fans chanting "fuck Joe Biden" as chanting "let's go, Brandon".

When Republican Rep. Bill Posey of Florida ended an Oct. 21 House floor speech with a fist pump and the phrase “Let’s go, Brandon!” it may have seemed cryptic and weird to many who were listening.

[2021 October 31, Colleen Long, “How ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ became code for insulting Joe Biden”, in AP News, Associated Press:

“A sieve of a southern border, the supply chain massacred, food prices rising by the day, crime rampant in big cities and being browbeaten continuously by Beijing. Yes, he is a real success.” Flanagan then adds sarcastically, “One more thing, ‘Let's Go Brandon.’”

2021 November 11, Mark Bonokoski, quoting Steve Flanagan, “BONOKOSKI: ‘Let's go Brandon! Let's go Brandon!’”, in Toronto Sun:

State Rep. Dave Williams, who is challenging eight-term GOP congressman Doug Lamborn in an intraparty contest, sued Democratic Secretary of State Jena Griswold last week after her office rejected allowing his name to appear on the ballot as Dave “Let's Go Brandon” Williams.

2022 April 30, John Dorman, “Colorado Supreme Court says GOP lawmaker can't use ‘Let's Go Brandon’ nickname on congressional ballot”, in Business Insider:

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene visited a D.C. jail to check on conditions for the Jan. 6 defendants, with Republican lawmakers handshaking and high-fiving the prisoners, who chanted “Let's Go Brandon!” – a coded vulgarity against President Joe Biden – as the group left.

2023 March 27, “X, y, z: News from around our 50 states”, in USA Today, page B3:

It is not known who has coined the term, but it refers to a collection of right wing groups that do not fit into mainstream right wing categories. This can include White nationalism, Nationalism, National Socialism, Fascism, Neo-Absolutism and other ideas.

It’s a battle that’s both personality-driven and ideological, between supporters of Spencer and the “alt-right” more generally and supporters of the “dissident right” or the so-called “America First” movement, led in part by 22-year-old Nick Fuentes, a former conservative radio host and Unite the Right attendee who is growing in popularity with the white nationalist movement.

2017, “Archived copy”, in Vox, archived from the original on 2021-11-25:

Other groups identify as “mainstreamers” or the “dissident right” and attempt to move mainstream politics to accept white supremacist ideas.

(US politics) Far-right political groups who oppose mainstream conservatism, promoting more radical beliefs such as opposition to LGBT rights and non-White identity politics, anti-Semitism, white nationalism and white supremacy, and traditionalist nationalism.

From a phrase read from a ship's bell by a character in the 1996 movie White Squall. The phrase itself means "Where one of us goes, we will go together," or "We will go together with any one of our members."

But this particular image, posted in March by the Utah-based fashion, beauty, and parenting influencer Jalynn Schroeder to more than 50,000 followers, is accompanied by a series of hashtags that includes the initialism WWG1WGA—“Where we go one, we go all”—a motto used by adherents of the QAnon conspiracy theory.

2020 August 18, Kaitlyn Tiffany, “The Women Making Conspiracy Theories Beautiful”, in The Atlantic:

Their rallying cry is "where we go one, we go all," a line from the 1996 Jeff Bridges sailing adventure "White Squall" that they misattribute to President Kennedy. The phrase is frequently abbreviated to "WWG1WGA," which Roseanne Barr — one of several celebrity QAnon supporters — tweeted in June 2018.

“Where we go one, we go all,” erupted the crowd in a QAnon chant that’s frequently abbreviated to WWG1WGA in online messaging boards like 4chan, where the cult began.

2024 January 23, Ellie Quinlan Houghtaling, “A Creepy QAnon Chant Rises at Trump’s Rally—and He Nods and Smiles”, in The New Republic:

1988, The Illustrated London News, volume 276, page 102:

I saw him as a Reagan hangover, and unlike my fellow citizens, I had never cared much for Ronnie. Maybe I was just in a bad mood from being in prison, or maybe, by dint of being inside, I was immune to the raging Gippermania that hit the country.

From Reagan's role as George "The Gipper" Gipp (1895-1920) in the 1940 film Knute Rockne, All American, which lead to him acquiring the nickname "the Gipper," later popularized by the media during his presidency.

It took no more than a jaunty one-liner in the second presidential debate—"I refuse to hold my opponent's youth against him"—for large numbers of people to be reassured that if the Gipper had ever been out of it, he was now back.

1992, Michael Weiler, W. Barnett Pearce, Reagan and Public Discourse in America, page 137:

Over the eight years of the Reagan presidency, the Gipper asked Congress for $16.1 billion more in spending than it passed into law.

2007, Brian Doherty, Radicals for Capitalism: A Freewheeling History of the Modern American Libertarian Movement, pages 452–453:

Great Society

[W]ith […] your desire, we will build the Great Society. It is a Society where no child will go unfed [or] unschooled. Where no man who wants work will fail to find it. Where no citizen will be barred from any door because of his birthplace or his color or his church. Where peace and security is common among neighbors and […] nations.

1964 March 12, Lyndon B Johnson, Remarks in Athens at Ohio University, The American Presidency Project:

We built the campaign strategy around a progressive program, the program that formed the framework of the Great Society. The Great Society was never, in my mind, just a visionary Utopian ideal. I considered it a realistic outline of what this nation could achieve in a limited period of time if we marshaled our will and committed our resources.

[…] The Great Society was given a blank check. It bounced. While some of the poor advanced over the last twenty-five years, most who did so succeeded the old-fashioned way—by their own efforts. Most inner-city poor are worse off today than they were before President Johnson launched the Great Society.

boba liberal

A reference to boba tea, a drink popular in Asian American communities.

I am admittedly vocal about my obsession with bubble tea; in fact, the editors of the Grub Street piece had cut several other mentions of it, on the ground that it was boba overkill. I also write for a mainstream, left-leaning American publication, and it’s true that I once wrote a Profile of the “Crazy Rich Asians” star Constance Wu. It hadn’t occurred to me that such proclivities made me a quintessential boba liberal (much less an idiot queen)[…]

2021 January 29, Jiayang Fan, “Chronicles of a Bubble-Tea Addict”, in The New Yorker:

But just as we’ve seen with the co-opting of the word “woke” as a sarcastic conservative slur against progressive ideals, the term “boba liberal” has been subverted, too. Instead of merely critiquing shallow identity politics, the term is now weaponized against progressive Asian Americans deemed insufficiently committed to the Asian cause — and nothing has accelerated that quicker than the panic over attacks on Asian Americans on the street.

2022 February 17, Eddie Kim, “Is the ‘Boba Liberal’ Really a Race Traitor?”, in MEL Magazine:

Impose sanctions right now and when the FM, that Slavic-faggot Papandreou, gets on the Criminal News Network (CNN), he can explain the situation to the dumber Americans who really haven't a clue about anything other than the 400 kilogram gorilla the slut Britney Spears fucked the other day.

hamberder

From a 2019 tweet by Donald Trump, in which he misspelled hamburgers as hamberders.

Great being with the National Champion Clemson Tigers last night at the White House. Because of the Shutdown I served them massive amounts of Fast Food (I paid), over 1000 hamberders etc. Within one hour, it was all gone. Great guys and big eaters!

Donald Trump has bragged about serving a table groaning with McDonalds^([sic]) ‘hamberders’ to a football team visiting the White House. In a misspelt tweet issued Tuesday, the president wrote: ‘Great being with the National Champion Clemson Tigers last night at the White House. ‘Because of the Shutdown I served them massive amounts of Fast Food (I paid), over 1000 hamberders etc.

How many people were there that required 1000 hamberders? And he wasn't just serving those, there were chicken nuggets, pizza too I think.
So, two burgers per person, 500 people?
Anyone want to bet it's another gross exaggeration?

food should not be a problem for Trump, given how much he loves McDonald's "hamberders" as he refers to them in his tweets. McDonald's is inexpensive, provides plenty of coupons, and must not be unhealthy because Trump eats them daily, his doctor reports he is in flawless health in spite of having suffered covid. He eats McDonalds^([sic]) as he alleges that it is harder to put poison in fast food, because you do not know which hamberder will be handed to the victim.

Air Force One

Air Force + one. Coined after an incident in 1953 where the aircraft's call sign carrying the President of the United States coincided with another aircraft in the same airspace.

On the way to the airport, Agent Youngblood was in communication with Air Force One, to make sure it was secured and ready for us. When we arrived, we dashed up the ramp. Secret Service men rushed through the interior ahead of us, pulling down the shades and closing both doors behind us. The air conditioning was off and it was extremely hot inside the plane.
