Trump favorite words - "Disaster", "Wonderful", "Fantastic", "Huge", "Dishonest"

If he doesn't like something, he labels it as a "disaster". E.g. Obamacare (even though it is working fine despite his and Republicans' sabotage and saving lives)

If he wants to suck up to some one, he calls him/her "wonderful". E.g. "Our wonderful secretary of state.." (who is about to be unceremoniously fired)

If he really wants to get something really bad, may be something that will line his pocket, he will call it "Fantastic". Eg. "Fantastic tax plan, fantastic get together to pass tax cuts for the American people".

If he really wants to make something minor sound like it is a big deal (because he thinks it makes him look good to his gullible believers), he will call it "Huge". "This is going to be huge for the American people" (Just don't ask him what it is or what the details are. Just be happy it is just HUGE.)

If he really feels that the media are just exposing his lies left and right and seems like the people are waking up to it, he will just call the media "dishonest". (Dishonest media showing what I really said and what I really did to the American people)

so that he could say it correctly without a teleprompter. That's why during the ad libbing portion of his speeches, he sounds repetitive. He's too lazy to learn and introduce new words.

News he doesn't like is "fake." Yeah, this is a list that goes on for a while, but then it stops, utterly and completely. He doesn't have a very big vocabulary.
