Where in the article, does he literally beg?

Literally literally does not have to be literal anymore.

It’s been that way for a couple years now.

I know people say that (in english), but then there has to be a word to mean something in the literal sense. And 'actually' doesn't count, because people literally use it like they use 'literally' as to mean figuratively.

I'm sure "I didn't mean 'literally' literally, so it wasn't perjury your honor" won't work in court.

I have literally never heard of anyone getting in trouble for misusing literally in court but if you can find any examples I'd be interested in seeing them.

I have ~~literally~~ figuratively never heard of anyone getting in trouble for misusing literally in court but if you can find any examples I’d be interested in seeing them.

So you might have heard it?

I’m not sure the language is unclear.

"Literally begs" = has a delusional rant like always

I’m demanding that these countries come in and protect their own territory, because it is their territory. It’s the place from which they get their energy.

Someone should bring a dictionary to the President, then smack him in the head with it

Yeah begging is humbling yourself. He's incapable of that

There is no point even reporting on trumps words. They are so contradictory and fleeting. This dude said he'd destroyed 100% of Iran's military. In his mind it must be ghosts launching strikes.

Like a week ago the UK said they were going to send a carrier to the middle east to help out and Trump was all like "nah we don't need your help we already won" 😂
