Like a lot of people, I often get confused by news reports expressing different interpretations of what President Donald Trump allegedly said. Even when you hear it yourself, it is not uncommon to read or hear a different interpretation altogether from the press. At first, I thought it was nothing but spin by the main stream media, but it finally occurred to me, Americans speak two different languages based on English, Liberal and "Trumpese." It is a simple matter of translation. In studying the lexicon of both, I have discovered how Liberals translate Mr. Trump's comments and vice versa. For example, when liberals say something is "backwards," it is translated to "forwards" for everyone else. Other examples, "disabled = strong", "disgruntled = happy," etc. For a more complete list, see the bottom of this article.
