Trump's favorite verbal tic is now 1,000 pages of legislation
The verbal tic of President Donald Trump that has always most fascinated me is his predilection for the word 'beautiful.' North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un 'wrote me beautiful letters and we fell in love.' On the cover of Time magazine, Kamala Harris looked 'like the most beautiful actress ever to live' (this quickly devolved into an anti-compliment). On Trump's first day back in office, he signed an executive order titled 'Promoting Beautiful Federal Civic Architecture.' Golf courses are beautiful, but so are White House telephones, farming, fighter jets, notes from the Chinese president, chocolate cake, the Supreme Court, Harambe the gorilla and Christians. Do you know who doesn't need 30 dolls? 'A beautiful baby girl that's 11 years old.'
