In an interview airing Tuesday and Wednesday on a Spanish language offshoot, host Rachel Campos-Duffy said she was going to teach the 78-year-old president how to say "Make America Great Again" in the language of Cervantes.
Then she pronounced it – "Vamos a hacer America grande otra vez" – and asked the president to repeat it.
Famous for his mangled syntax and meandering discourse, Trump did not disappoint.
He skipped the subject and verb altogether and just said in a rather staccato style, gesturing with his hands, "America grande otra vez."
He leaned forward for emphasis with the last word.
It was not a passage from Quixote by any means, but Trump fans on social media loved it, giving him high praise for even trying.
The White House posted the clip on , and it was quickly viewed hundreds of thousands of times.
