Hillary seeks magniloquence. She achieves malevolence.

But Disney’s dragon did not speak in the film! Roared, growled, grimaced, chewed up things.... Certainly. Flames, but no electricity either. But not a very magnetiloquent personality at all.

I would rather read a Trump Tweet,
With Honesty Refreshing
Than a magniloquent teleprompted speech
That will only leave me guessing.

John F’n Kerry was a very magniloquent speaker. He won three purple hearts, you know.

LOL!

The plainspoken DJT gets his point across with MAGA-loquent speech; unlike his predecessor, he doesn’t have to be a slave to his Teleprompter…

Hillary is rather magniloquent
When she begins any speech
But soon anger overcomes her
And then she begins to screech

That harpy so angry and bitter
We have come to know so well
Shouts insults and reminds us
How we narrowly escaped hell-

Not only are we just deplorable
Conservative women are dumb-
Voting the way our menfolk say
As if we are under their thumb...
