White House Invents New Word to Cover for Trump: Transcript Claims He Said 'Oringes,' Not 'Oranges'

Millions of Americans heard Donald Trump substitute the word “oranges” for “origins” three times at a photo op, but rather than accurately reflect that embarrassing reality, the White House invented a new word.

-snip-

But according to the official White House transcript, released almost five hours later at 6:47 pm, Trump didn’t say “oranges” at all, he said “oringes,” and he only did it twice:

And I hope that this investigation now, which is finished — it’s totally finished. No collusion. No obstruction. I hope they now go and take a look at the oringes [origins] — the origins of the investigation, the beginnings of that investigation. If you look at the origin of the investigation — where it started; how it started; who started it, whether it’s McCabe or Comey or a lot of them; where does it go; how high up in the White House did it go — you will all get Pulitzer Prizes, okay? You’d all get Pulitzer Prizes. You should have looked at it a long time ago.

And that’s the only thing that’s disappointing to me about the Mueller report. The Mueller report, I wish, covered the oringes [origins] of how it started — the beginnings of the investigation and how it started. It didn’t cover that. And for some reason, none of that was discussed.

Presumably, someone at the White House concluded that it’s less embarrassing for Trump to have made up an entirely new word that swaps letters and adds an “e” to “origins” than for him to have said “oranges” three times, which is what actually happened.

2. Sad.

3. I'm not sure how that makes things any better..

If anything, it just makes him look even more like he's got mental problems. At least "oranges" is a real word.

4. I like oringes along with my hamberders and cofeve.

13. Not to be too picky

but I think you left the v out of covfefe.

Oh wait, I see you just moved it and left out the second f.

I must be getting old.

5. And, WTF is an "oringes?" At least oranges is a tangible item, oringes is from fantasy Narnia land.

6. Now you're bringing tangerines into the discussion? WTF?

[Tanuki]

7. Maybe he said "door hinges."

14. I think he said 'syringes'

"the syringes of the investigation."
See - they'd never investigate Dear Leader unless they were doing drugs.

8. "Oringes" the greatest agricultural export of Rusher.

9. They do know that 'oringes' isn't even a real word, right.

11. What I find amusing is that he knew ...

... he was using the wrong word. I don’t know if it was the expression on the faces of those around him or what ... but he clarified with “the beginnings” because he knew he sounded like an idiot.

12. Cmon

It’s just a mispronunciation like when i said pisgetti instead of spaghetti. I did that until someone pointed it out. That was no big deal

Of course i was 4 and not president. And it wasn’t a deterioration from me saying it correctly. And my parents and i didn’t try to lie about me not being able to pronounce correctly.

It does make me wonder if he really thinks that bigly is a word. Maybe he isn’t an idiot, he just uses the wrong words all the time. Mexico is praying for the wall.

Sarcasm. He really is an idiot.
