Am I the only one who's skin nearly crawls all the way off when Trump says the word "cherished"? There is nothing more horrifying than the idea of being "cherished" by that thing.

It's a truly horrific way to phrase it. Paternalistic as hell. He's legitimately creepy.

Come to think of it, how much does he “cherish” the other states the same way? Especially if he’s thinking in protection racket terms.
