Here is the extended version. This is the first time this seems to show up in an internet search:

A comprehensive guide to “Trumpspeak” – A.K.A: Trump Translator:

"He's a great guy" = I will deny ever knowing this person after they begin to tell the truth about me.
“He’s the perfect man for the job.” = He’ll be great at obliterating the department he’s heading.
“He’s doing an incredible job.” = He works for me, and he’s a terrific liar.
“He’s done an incredible job.” = He doesn’t lie as well as he used to, and may soon be fired.
“He’s a disappointment.” = Due to his slavish devotion to ethics, he’s been fired.
“He’s somewhat disappointing.” = I don’t like his beta-male looks and behavior, and, besides, he’s low-energy.
"Loser" = someone who makes me feel inferior due to their talent or accomplishments.
"Liar" = Someone telling the truth about me
“He’s a good kid.” = I don’t like his beta-male looks and behavior, but both Ivana and the paternity test say he’s my son.
“He’s a good man.” = I don’t know the guy, but he’s right here in front of me, smiling.
“He’s an excellent man.” = He may be smarter than me, but that does not make me dumber than him.
“I’m hard at work.” = I’m golfing alone.
“I’m working hard.” = I’m golfing with others.
“Experts say .?.?. ” = Sean Hannity said . . .
“Everyone’s saying .?.?. ” = Someone in the Fox News comments section said .?.?.
“I’ve been hearing .?.?. ” = Barr told me .?.?.
“I’ve been seeing .?.?. ” = Ivanka showed me .?.?.
“A lot of people.” = Me.
"Nobody knew" = Everyone knew except me.
"Many People have told me" = Voices in my head and fictional people have complimented me.
"A lot of people don't know" = I just learned something most people already knew.
"Believe me" = I just lied.
"In Fact" = I'm about to lie.
"The likes the world has never seen" = I have no idea what I just said but it sounded good.
“It’s gonna be incredible.” = I haven’t thought about it—it’s in the future.
“It’s gonna be fantastic.” = I briefly thought about it, but will forget about it once my circadian rhythm resets.
“It’s gonna be terrific.” = I’ve passed it along to Congress, so blame them when it fails.
"Policy Briefing" = Turning on Fox News.
"MAGA" = Making my pockets fatter off the American taxpayers.
"Huge" = moderate to below average in size.
“It’s gonna be huge.” = It will be flashy and tacky.
“It’s gonna be so huge.” = It will be flashy and tacky, with gold lettering.
“Facts.” = 1. Statements not yet verified by conspiracy theorists. 2. Statements—often from scientists—with no profit motive.
“Lies.” = 1. Statements about me colluding with Russia. 2. Un-airbrushed facts.
“Sad” = 1. All-purpose, monosyllabic expression of distress, remonstration, condemnation, anger, frustration, pique, or calumny. If tweeted, “Sad” appears as a single-word sentence fragment, followed by an exclamation point. As an utterance, it is shouted as if one is an umpire. 2. Rare, archaic: sorrowful.
“Only I can get it done” = “If you think this country’s bad off now, just wait till I get through with it.” (re: Groucho Marx in Duck Soup – 1933)
“I have all the best words.” = I cornered the market on some top-of-the-line monosyllabic words in a leveraged buyout.
“I’ve always been a good student.” = I attended school (sometimes).
“I have the best memory” = Do I have another rally today or am I going golfing?
“I’m not being investigated.” = It’s not an investigation if the detective isn’t wearing dark glasses and a fedora.
“Women.” = Blondes.
“Nasty women.” = Women whose blondness has been revoked due to: a) childbirth; b) middle age; c) policy knowledge and/or general knowledge; d) court settlements; e) high-heel abstinence.
“Americans.” = People in states that voted for me.
“People.” = White people.
“Fine people.” = White supremacists.
“Those people.” = People in countries that I’ve never heard of.
“Those ungrateful people.” = Black people.
“Those happy people.” = People on islands surrounded by big water who are claiming to be Americans, yet complaining to me about something.
“Paris.” = Europe.
“Europe.” = An entire continent of blue states.
“Angela Merkel.” = German Hillary.
“Justin Trudeau.” = Canadian Emmanuel Macron.
“Emmanuel Macron.” = Young, French, non-Kenyan Obama.
“Liberal Elite” = Anyone with more than a third grade education.
“Socialist” = Anyone except me and my Klavern.
“Globalists.” = All non-Jared Jews.
“Thugs.” = All non-Ben Carson black people.
“Illegals.” = All non-Ricardo Montalban Mexicans.
“Terrorists” = All non-Saudi Muslims.
“White mass shooter” = Troubled young man playing video games.

AND FINALLY…………the truths about Trump:

The “billionaire” who hides his tax returns.
The “genius” who hides his college grades.
The “businessman” who bankrupted 3 casinos and lost over $1B in 10 years.
The “playboy” who pays for sex.
The “Christian” who doesn’t go to church.
The “philanthropist” who defrauds charity.
The “patriot” who dodged the draft.
The “innocent man” who refuses to testify.

In all the hundreds of negative things he gets out of bed to do you’d think one or two good ones would have happened just by accident.
