Teens are fond of texting abbreviations like LOL, OMG and WTF. Seniors have shorthand codes, too, such as ATD (at the doctor’s) and DWI (driving while incontinent). Not surprisingly, Donald Trump has his own abbreviations:

MAGA — Make America great again

STS — stop the steal

LOL — lie on lie

PAS — people are saying

BM — believe me

BTW — build the wall

IVHE — I’m very highly educated

TBW — the best words

ASG — a stable genius

TOT — tweeting on toilet

FN — fake news

TDS — the deep state

EOTP — enemy of the people

LHU! — lock her up!

STV — swamp the vote

TBTR — too big to rig

HMP — hang Mike Pence

DBD — drill, baby, drill

GEBTP — grab ’em by the pussy

TAOTD — The Art of the Deal

YF! — you’re fired!
