Trump speaks more off-the-cuff than almost any other presidenti­al candidate since the invention of television. As a rookie, he hasn’t had a chance to iron out several tics most politician­s would have caught during their first run for state senate. He says “bigly,” which may be a contractio­n of “big league.” He said Hillary Clinton got “schlonged” in her 2008 run for president — possibly because he was trying for a Yiddish word that didn’t mean “penis.” Wednesday, he referred to “swatches of land,” when he was presumably trying to say “swathes of land.”
