Hot take: if you call every scandal a 'complex transition,' people stop asking follow-up questions. by F. W. de Klerk

Every time he says 'nuance,' a publicist gets a headache.

You also preferred the term 'not my problem,' and yet here we are.

Polite is generous. He keeps trying to sound noble while the footnotes are throwing chairs.

I prefer the term 'strategic understatement.'
