OMG. Trump says he just invented a new word (Psst! Don't tell him it's been around for 400 years)
https://www.nj.com/politics/2025/05/trump-says-he-just-invented-a-new-word-psst-dont-tell-him-its-been-around-for-400-years.htmlRemember when Donald Trump discovered the word “groceries” and then felt he had to teach us what it meant?

“The rest of the world is going to have to pay a little more and America is going to pay a lot less,” Trump said. “Again, because it’s a much smaller population than when you think of the whole world. Basically what we’re doing is equalizing. It’s a new word that I came up, which I think is probably the best word.
“We’re all going to pay the same. We’re going to pay what Europe is going to pay, what we’re all going to pay. There may be some countries in dire need and I would be willing to sacrifice that, to help them. But it’s called ‘most favored nation.’ We’re going to pay the lowest price there is in the world.”
According to Webster’s dictionary, “equalize” was first used in 1599. The derivation, equalizing, arrived sometime during the early 1800’s.
