<Proofreader>Trump's offer
Say what you will about DJT, he has contributed a new word in the English language. He recently defended his so-called support for gays and asnnounced he "would prove it bigly."

goofy"Bigly" is not a new word. But it's likely Trump is saying "big league".

KallehSpeak of the devil, I loved this
article about the 100 ways to describe Trump's hair.
I like "mound of cotton candy."

KallehYes, I had read that article. I loved it too.
I did notice a reference to that word "bigly," here too:
quote:
“Be quiet, let me talk,” he snapped at Marco Rubio. The shouting, the eye-rolling, the repetition of nonsensical pablum, the odd words (“bigly” when he meant hugely) — it was all there. And again, the delusions: “I will do really well with Hispanics.”
