    I’m not sure what the difference between Trumpsplaining and sanewashing may be, but we don’t need it.

      Looks like I Trumpslained ya!

      Trumpslaining (mixed opinion here*):

      Sanewashing (naughty naughty):

      * rationalize, that’d silly. But why spend the mental energy trying to interpret this particular word salad once a quick glance confirms it’s gibberish?

      Faster to read the English version to conclude more quickly it’s the usual lies. When the lies get bigger there’s some cause for alarm b/c people get hurt (see Haitian communities). Big Orange’s gibberish is newsworthy but no need to pain ourselves staying abreast.

      Edit: didn’t mention the not-so-subtle diss of pretending no English speaker would understand the candidate
