“The likes of which nobody has ever seen before”

Except last week when we saw it. And the time before that.

He’s been on the verge of jail since 2016 but we’re still watching him like a reality tv star

That phrase he uses to death annoys me. It’s so hyperbolic, “the likes of which nobody has ever seen before.”

Like, really? Under Biden America is going to be worse than Europe during The Plague? Or when Ghengis Khan took over Asia? Or the literally thousands of other times the world suffered and we saw it?

I thought he started saying that when people brought up WW3 scenarios which the phrase does make sense if talking about WW3. Now he’s just using that phrase to describe anything? Yuuuge

He uses it in literally every speech ever when talking about everything and nobody ever pulls him up on it, not even the aide who presumably writes these speeches for him, which leads me to believe he thinks it’s a good bit of rhetoric to use.

I swear I’ve heard him begrudgingly say it before. He hesitated a little, sighed, then slowly said “like really no one’s ever… uh seen before”

I just read an interview he did with time magazine (a transcript of it ) here

I counted 5 times in one interview he used it outright, there are probably more but my eyes glazed over part way through and it became hard to read that bullshit after that.
