When it comes to nursing home safety, all we get from the Trump administration is double-talk




According to Merriam-Webster, the first known use of 'double-talk', as in language that appears to be earnest and meaningful but in fact is a mixture of sense and nonsense, occurred in 1936.  

Other coinages from the same year include:
  • anti-consumer
  • blabbermouth
  • Chinese checkers
  • decontaminate
  • dingleberry
  • newsbreak
