   • 2017 March 24, Lawrence Douglas, “Donald Trump's dizzying Time magazine interview was 'Trumpspeak' on display”, in The Guardian‎^[1]:

     In this regard, the Time interview is a particularly helpful document, as it provides unusual insight into the principles and deep structure of Trumpspeak, the untethered political discourse presently distorting our democracy.

   • 2020 March 23, Erik Wemple, “Want to know why Trump shouldn’t be allowed on live TV? Listen to Anthony Fauci.”, in The Washington Post‎^[2]:

     Bolding added to highlight a suggestion from Trump that the United States could have gotten a heads-up of several months if only Chinese authorities had been more transparent. He doesn’t make this allegation directly, mind you, but rather uses elliptical and confusing Trumpspeak to lay it out.
