Money Word “UnPresidented” — Donald Trump

 

 

Money Words – Finance Neologisms

 

The money word “unpresidented” was coined in a December 2016 tweet by Donald Trump where he likely intended to write “unprecedented” but mistakenly created the nonstandard word. Some key points:

• Trump was referring to actions being taken against his incoming administration as “unpresidented”, meaning unprecedented in magnitude.
• His misspelling of the real word “unprecedented” was widely mocked on social media as an embarrassing typo from a future President.
• However, others argued the slip-up had an air of authenticity that resonated with some voters who felt Trump was not a typical polished politician.
• Regardless of intent, “unpresidented” entered dictionaries and the lexicon as an accidental Trump-era neologism born from an unscripted tweet sent without vetting.

So in summary, this unique money word originated as a malapropism but highlighted Trump’s casual communication style for both better and worse in the views of his supporters and critics.
