== The Phrases == I'm leaving out the classic ones like [[wikipedia:Make America Great Again|Make America Great Again]] that are just references to Trump himself. === Build The Wall === {{Tweet | name = Donald J. Trump | username = realDonaldTrump | text = Big day planned on NATIONAL SECURITY tomorrow. Among many other things, we will build the wall! | date = Jan 24, 2017 | ID = 824083821889015809 | ref-name = Tweet_824083821889015809 | block = true }} "Build the wall" is now just general rhetoric for "keep those guys out". It will probably be used even after Trump leaves. === Deep State === {{Tweet | name = Donald J. Trump | username = realDonaldTrump | text = ....Where is the DNC Server, and why didn’t the FBI take possession of it? Deep State? | date = Jul 14, 2018 | ID = 1018072081676865536 | ref-name = Tweet_1018072081676865536 | block = true }} The [[wikipedia:Deep state|Deep State Conspiracy Theory]] has existed for a while, even [[wikipedia:Deep state conspiracy theory in the United States|specifically in the US]] but its general public use for "the government bureaucracy who secretly make decisions" is definitely a result of Donald Trump popularizing it. === Fake News === {{Tweet | name = Donald J. Trump | username = realDonaldTrump | text = FAKE NEWS - A TOTAL POLITICAL WITCH HUNT! | date = Jan 10, 2017 | ID = 818990655418617856 | ref-name = Tweet_818990655418617856 | block = true }} Technically, this one was first used by Hillary Clinton<ref name=hc-fn/> but there's no doubt that Trump telling a CNN reporter "You are Fake News" and his subsequent repeated use of the phrase are the ones that made it popular. === Many People Are Saying === {{Tweet | name = Donald J. Trump | username = realDonaldTrump | text = Many people are saying that my challenge to Obama is having a huge negative effect on his poll numbers --- I agree. | date = Oct 28, 2012 | ID = 262558532757487616 | ref-name = Tweet_262558532757487616 | block = true }} {{Tweet | name = Donald J. Trump | username = realDonaldTrump | text = Thanks- many are saying I'm the best 140 character writer in the world. It's easy when it's fun. | date = Nov 10, 2012 | ID = 267286471172562944 | ref-name = Tweet_267286471172562944 | block = true }} {{Tweet | name = Donald J. Trump | username = realDonaldTrump | text = Many people are saying it was wonderful that Mrs. Obama refused to wear a scarf in Saudi Arabia, but they were insulted.We have enuf enemies | date = Jan 29, 2015 | ID = 560839957426999297 | ref-name = Tweet_560839957426999297 | block = true }} {{Tweet | name = Donald J. Trump | username = realDonaldTrump | text = Many people are saying that the Iranians killed the scientist who helped the U.S. because of Hillary Clinton's hacked emails. | date = Aug 8, 2016 | ID = 762781826549030912 | ref-name = Tweet_762781826549030912 | block = true }} Obviously a phrase in widespread use already but maxed out by Donald Trump. Hard to give him credit for this one, and I think it's more in the mockery category, but it's so widespread now that I'll include it. === Many Such Cases === {{Tweet | name = Donald J. Trump | username = realDonaldTrump | text = Healthy young child goes to doctor, gets pumped with massive shot of many vaccines, doesn't feel good and changes - AUTISM. Many such cases! | date = Mar 28, 2014 | ID = 449525268529815552 | ref-name = Tweet_449525268529815552 | block = true }} This is used either on purpose or ironically. But it is used often without Trump being mentioned. Easily the top one where people use it without knowing it's a Trumpism === Thank You For Your Attention To This Matter === {{TruthSocial | name = Donald J. Trump | username = realDonaldTrump | text = ISRAEL is not going to attack Iran. All planes will turn around and head home, while doing a friendly “Plane Wave” to Iran. Nobody will be hurt, the Ceasefire is in effect! Thank you for your attention to this matter! DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES | date = Jun 24, 2025 | ID = 114738104789842114 | block = yes }} This one started out as mockery but has rapidly become a referential closing joke. So I think it counts. === Thank You, Very Cool === {{Tweet | name = Donald J. Trump | username = realDonaldTrump | text = Thank you Kanye, very cool! https://x.com/kanyewest/status/989179757651574784… | date = Apr 25, 2018 | ID = 989225812166696960 | ref-name = Tweet_989225812166696960 | block = true }} Used often to dismiss someone pulling a "lady doth protest too much" or in a generally dismissive way.
