(5,272 posts)out of a single word that doesn't do that, and cannot do that in and of itself. If I were to say to you, "you know, the other day Lieberman literally got on his hands and knees and thanked Trump for the pleasure" you'd probably say, "but did he at any point use the word 'delighted?'" (actually sorry for this crass scenario, and when I have the energy will change it).
In fact, in the context it was actually used, there's an implicit impression I get that there will be no such delight happening. Its the kind of over-exaggerated language people are more apt to use with their enemies than with their friends. Its like saying "I would like nothing more," or "please enlighten me." Seriously, I could see you doing the same thing if Sanders had used enlighten. "I look forward to Trump enlightening me on how he is going to bring jobs back to American workers." Then there'd almost certainly be a post about some anonymous congress person who used the word "enlighten," which empowers the groper in chief as somebody who could in-fact have the knowledge and legitimacy to "enlighten" someone on anything.
