People Across America Are Still Arguing Over Whether Trump’s Saying ‘Bigly’ Or ‘Big League’

Over the last month, the world has been enthralled to an exhausting degree by the U.S. presidential election. The debates have been contentious and infuriating to some, but most of all, they have been confusing.

Simply put: no one knows if Donald Trump is saying “bigly” or “big league” when he’s trying to put a stamp on his future actions. Many have mocked Trump saying “bigly” isn’t even a word, in an attempt to paint a picture of his ignorance.

The fact is, bigly is a word, even though Grammerly has put a little red line under it as I write this.

Twitter detectives have also worked to put this bigly/big league debate in context.

But there are questions we aren’t asking. Big league questions that will blow our minds bigly.

Many of Trump’s supporters and even his surrogates are using bigly to describe his positions of power. It’s not going over well.

In just a few weeks, the election will be over (maybe not if Trump refuses to step down if he loses), but this big league/bigly debate will possibly rage on forever. What is it — bigly or big league? That is the cloud that hangs over us bigly.
