propaganda Word of the Day: "Colorful" as in "DRUMPF's 'COLORFUL' speech"

And this normalizing of DRUMPF is coming from mainstream CBS and Yahoo. First, on CBS legacy kid John DICKERSON used "COLORFUL" to describe what we here would call DRUMPF's deplorable, treasonous, ignorant, repulsive, repugnant (ad infinitum) crap vomit that comes out of his mouth and brain. DICKERSON was talking about whatever recent DRUMPF verbal atrocity - the leaked transcripts, the W. Virginia Nazi rally, whatever. And he said DRUMPF was "COLORFUL."

Then there was this item, also with the "colorful" descriptor, also NORMALIZING Drumpf:

DRUMPF's wacko language versus how the word "colorful" contrasts.

He's of the Country Club wing of the Repukes, but above all a toe-the-party-line type, has occasionally been appalled at some DRUMPF antics, but he has never gone so far as his response (below). Is it a sign that the Repuke wall of support is cracking?!1 He said:
