Trump says a lot of phrases that I get the gist of even if I recognize they’re surreal word-salad.

I’ve turned “I’m a legitimate person” over and over in my mind, in context, and I keep coming to: Trump wanted to say “I’m an honest person” but couldn’t, like he realized how phony it would sound, or that it would be some kind of tell.

He’s saying he’s one legitimate person, only 1 Legit by my count. Not 2 Legit, 2 Legit 2 Quit. 1 Legit means he can and should definitely still Quit.

Does he mean he’s actually a human being? Because I never questioned that until he said it…
