Everyone knows he's trying to say "big league" but it comes out "bigly".

Trump's defenders will adamantly insist that he's trying to say "big league" and technically they're correct. But we'll continue to throw it in their faces that it sounds like "bigly."

I'll put it this way: I'll stop using "bigly" when they stop referring to the "Democrat party."
