Donald Trump Speaks ‘Americanese’: All the Memes You Need to See

During a panel appearance on CNN's Anderson Cooper 360, President Donald Trump surrogate Jeffrey Lord claimed Trump didn't lie about Obama's wiretapping, but that he was speaking "Americanese." Lord told Cooper, "He says, you know, 'We speak Americanese out here, and we know what he meant... What he meant was the FBI was — or somebody else was — surveilling him. That's what he thinks." During a hearing in front of the House Intelligence Committee on March 20, FBI Director James Comey said that there was no evidence that that former President Barack Obama wiretapped President Donald Trump during the election cycle. Watch that here. Since Lord's comment on Cooper, "Americanese" has become the latest word to add to the Trump dictionary, like joining the ranks of "alternative fact" and "fake news." (Twitter)
