The other day I wondered if Trumps substitution of Islamic for Islamist was intentional or just a senior moment. The White House is saying it was due to exhaustion.

From the Times:

President Trump mixed up the wording of some of his speech in Saudi Arabia Sunday because he was “exhausted,” a senior White House official said.
“He’s just an exhausted guy,” the official told reporters on background, explaining why Mr. Trump didn’t say “Islamic extremism” in his speech to leaders of more than 50 Muslim-majority nations.

"Islamist" was always a manufactured propaganda-word that had little use in English before 2001/09/11. The words

Islamic and Islamist

make no more sense than the following artificial words, all contrasted against the more common form:

Christian and christianist
Communian(!?) and communist
Capitalian(!?) and capitalist

A christianist is a christian that wants to impose christian rule upon the world
A communist is a communian (?) that wants to impose communism upon the world
A capitalist is a capitalian(?) that wants to impose capitalism upon the world

Why did a special propaganda word have to be invented only for islamic? I guess it was convenient, and it was lexicographically easy to do, since the existing word islamic did not already have the dreaded and loaded -ist suffix.

I bet most people never even blinked an eye in surprise when the new word "islamist" was introduced by the news media on a grand scale.

He used "Islamic" quite deliberately IMHO. Watch the speech on YouTube.

If you want the facts, do not trust the papers.

I do think he intends to fuck over the Saudis in a major way. But he's being sneaky about it for now, encouraging them to go all in before revealing his hand. Donald trump does not love him some Muslims, certainly not how he loves him some Hispanics(taco bowl quote LOL)!

It's amazing how the Legacy MSM is now reporting remarks by anonymous officials are assumed to be basically true and the sole basis for stories.

He's really got to stop using Caesar Tactics with NeverTrump Skunks.
