In reply to the discussion: Doonesbury: "People come to me and say: Sir? you normalized rape so beautifully..." [View all]The fact that he brags that he knows the "best words" is an admission that he knows he has a very limited vocabulary.
Another time he used "strong" and "powerful" in a very odd way was in Helsinki in 2018. When asked if he believed U.S. intelligence regarding Putin's interference in the 2016 election, he answered, "I don't see any reason why it would be. President Putin was extremely strong and powerful in his denial today."
There are so many ways to describe a person's denial - vehement, emphatic, consistent, steadfast, etc. Strong and powerful sounded more like Trump's description of Putin the man and maybe an excuse for why he chose the Russian leader over his own intelligence community.

The Boston Globe left off the first two panels. So, thanks for posting this!

Yes, I knew that was a thing they do. But in this example, those missing panels were essential.
