Lots of fact checkers, including Merriam Webster, have already pointed out that Trump did not invent the phrase “prime the pump” last week or at all since the phrase has been in use since before he was born.
But this is much better (or worse?). He himself used the phrase last year in his Time Man of the Year interview. And last year was definitely before a few days ago.
This is beyond egotisticalky taking impossible credit for something. It's obvious dementia is a serious problem for him. I predict he will give fewer and fewer interviews and only highly controlled ones.
Remember the old days when if you said you had invented something which you had not literally, you became the target of endless mockery, your credibility was trashed, and it could spell the death of your political career? This will hardly merit a mention beyond Twitter and maybe a few late night jokes. It is truly Unfathomable, and beyond irresponsible how low the bar has been set for Trump
Oh and look at those well dressed people having their religious liberty out there in the Rose Garden!
