Trumpisms

Trumpisms or Trump-speak are the mannerisms, rhetoric, and characteristic phrases or statements of former U.S. President Donald Trump.[1][2] They have been described as colorful comments that "only Trump could get away with".[3][4] By 2016, Politico observed that what used to be called gaffes by Trump now had the official designation of "Trumpisms".[5][6] They have become well known and are the subject of numerous comedic impersonations that imitate Trump's confident exaggerations and general lack of detail.[7][8] An MIT student built a Twitter bot that used artificial intelligence to parody the President with "remarkably Trump-like statements".[9] Artificial intelligence has also been used to analyze Trump-speak.[10] Trump's children have poked fun at his speech patterns, with both Ivanka and Eric Trump stating that they share some of their father's Trumpisms.[11]

Emily Greenhouse noted in a Bloomberg article that Trump may be most quotable man in politics and highlighted the following example:[12]

I'm the most successful person ever to run for the presidency, by far. Nobody's ever been more successful than me. I'm the most successful person ever to run. Ross Perot isn't successful like me. Romney—I have a Gucci store that's worth more than Romney.[13]

Trumpisms frequently come in the form of insults directed at his critics, labeling them "dogs", "losers", and "enemies of the people".[14][15]
