think there is such a thing as a "perfect" phone call. (Because there is no such thing.)

His word choices are the same ones over and over, has anyone done a collage of them, recently?

He has such a limited vocabulary he uses inappropriate adjectives over and over because he can't come up with any others.

Perseveration
Perseveration according to psychology, psychiatry, and speech-language pathology, is the repetition of a particular response regardless of the absence or cessation of a stimulus. It is usually caused by a brain injury or other organic disorder. Symptoms include "lacking ability to transition or switch ideas appropriately with the social context, as evidenced by the repetition of words or gestures after they have ceased to be socially relevant or appropriate", or the "act or task of doing so", and are not better described as stereotypy.

Okay when is he going to have another rally, to see his cult supporters cheer him and kiss his ass. We all know that is coming.

or maybe what'about'ism.

Bible thumpers are jumping on the same meme; Bob Dutko on WMUZ in Detroit pointed out yesterday that Obama talked to foreign leaders many times, so Mango Mussolini is still pretty much the same glorious God-given leader we know an love.
