- Donald Trump’s daily coronavirus briefings are starting to have a familiar ring
- How many times will the POTUS say his favorite words and catchphrases tomorrow?
- Absent real sports to bet on, have some fun with the most repetitive politician since Boutros Boutros-Ghali
When President Donald J. Trump finds a word or phrase he likes, he puts it on repeat.
His phone call with the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was “perfect”. His letter from Kim Jong-un was “beautiful”. And now, in his daily coronavirus briefings, he’s hammering some new personal favorites.
SBD’s politicos decided to have a little fun and count up the number of times he said certain words and phrases over the last few days. Based on those calculations, we have come up with a multitude of over/unders for future briefings.
Depending on what part of the world you live in, the briefings may happen at an appropriate time for this to be a drinking game.
