Meaning

Trump has challenged President Obama to a vocabulary contest over Trumpcare.

Trump appeared on the Fox News Trump Infomercial, Fox and Friends, Sunday morning and claimed that Obama was playing fast and loose with the thesaurus while describing the healthcare bill.

“Well he actually used my term, ‘mean.’ That was my term,” Trump said. “Because I want to see — and I speak from the heart — that’s what I want to see, I want to see a bill with heart.”

Uh, well at least Obama isn’t playing fast and loose with the calendar.

Last Wednesday, Sean Spicer claimed that Trump’s use of the word “mean” was only rumor and speculation.  Trump didn’t confirm he used “mean” to describe the bill until this Sunday interview on Fox and Friends.

Obama did not use the word “mean.”  He used 939 words, 54 of which say

Simply put, if there’s a chance you might get sick, get old, or start a family – this bill will do you harm. And small tweaks over the course of the next couple weeks, under the guise of making these bills easier to stomach, cannot change the fundamental meanness at the core of this legislation.

That was on Thursday.

I think it’s highly improbable that President Obama steals words from Donald Trump and until I hear President Obama say “bigly” I will continue to believe that.
