Brian Williams' 11th hour - trump's rules of phraseology

* While feeling victimized, trump says, "Nobody thought it was possible"

* Anything trump is promising for the future is, "In a short period of time"

* When trump wants credit for something, "it's something the likes that nobody has ever seen"

----
This was part of Brian's lead in on the Tuesday night show. It's spot on with the way trump speaks.

trump always speaks in hyperbolic manner with no facts whatsoever

Especially since he's been feeling more and more able to voice his opinion. I love his sense of humor; it's not quite sarcastic, it's more of a dry "can you believe this shit?"

about seeing detailed data about the virus was disproportionately affecting minorities. He's used this "couple of weeks" incremental reference on many previous occasions, when trying to put something off in the hope of burying it completely.
