Donald Trump Programming Language Seeks to Make Programming Great Again

A team of software engineers at Rice University has introduced a new programming language called TrumpScript. Based on Python, the new language is designed to be “the programming language Trump would approve of,” using a variety of syntax and commands particular to the bombastic comb-over candidate.

No floating point numbers, only integers. America never does anything halfway.
All numbers must be strictly greater than 1 million. The small stuff is inconsequential to us.
There are no import statements allowed. All code has to be home-grown and American made.
Instead of True and False, we have fact and lie.
Only the most popular English words, Trump’s favorite words, and current politician names can be used as variable names.
Error messages are mostly quotes directly taken from Trump himself.
All programs must end with America is great.
Our language will automatically correct Forbes’ $4.5B to $10B.
In its raw form, TrumpScript is not compatible with Windows, because Trump isn’t the type of guy to believe in PC.
