I agree with your sentiment, Elizabeth, and note that TFG often uses "we," no doubt in the royal sense. Plural pronouns are no promise of patriotism (imagine the ROTC yutz from Animal House spitting that one out).

Somehow, maybe because of his other speech and text habits like refering to himself in the third person as President Trump, when he says we it's understood he means himself and when Kamala says we it's understood she means Us. Since 45 uses unspoken threat and bribe language regularly and we all understand it, the difference can be accepted as legitimately understood. Like art, we can know it when we see it without being able to identify it.

I think you may have come up with my new favorite tongue twister. Now say it five times fast.
