It’s not a word, but I think Trump thinks it’s the opposite of sanctimonious, which would then be a compliment.

It’s amazing how people don’t understand the meaning of the word “sanctimonious.”

So, like you said “DE” would mean “the opposite of.”

And yes, to be “DE”sanctimonious is definitely a good thing.

[Irish Eyes]

You are right. Trump said desanctimonious instead of unsanctimonious. He meant the opposite of sanctimonious

It was a compliment!

This makes more sense. Don’t know if it’s true. Trump should clarify if it is. The statement, if he said it, is just causing confusion.
