Take him seriously, not literally. Don’t believe everything he says, but do believe the intention behind his words.
Take him literally, not figuratively. He’s not much of a reader, so if he’s using flowery language, it’s not to impress you. It’s because there’s oil under those flowers.
Take him figuratively, not metaphorically. When he says he wants to impose 25 percent tariffs on our two remaining allies, that’s a figure. He’s using math. But math isn’t a signifier for anything real. Then it would be a metaphor, which is for apes.
Take him metaphorically, not hyperbolically. When he invokes the phrase “manifest destiny,” he does want to expand our empire; he’s only talking about five or six wars. Don’t be overdramatic.
Take him hyperbolically, not parabolically. Twenty years ago, when he said, “You’re fired,” it was just to Gary Busey. Now when he says it, it’s to the whole federal government. It’s different. It may be extreme, but it’s not where he started.
