“Trump is actually saying “big league”, NOT “bigly”!
==
Yup, “big league”, something like saying “big time”. Goes back to his NYC roots.

Not that I don’t like “bigly” - I think it a great term - but that’s not what he’s saying.

It's Trump's somewhat peculiar Queens accent. I've known people from Queens, who don't sound at all like Trump and I have NO idea what people in Queens sound like today.

And before anyone wants to rag on me, I'm NYC born & bred, but from Manhattan. NYC ( composed of 5 different boroughs )has more different accents than you can shake a stick at! One can go a couple of blocks, in any borough and hear a totally different NYC accent. Accents also change from generation to generation.

I rather like "bigly", myself, and the first definition does actually suit what he is saying...re Hillary raising taxes on us.
