I have no interest in disrupting the haughty little Trump party going on, but i am pretty sure he is using the word "good" as a noun, not an adverb. But don't let me interrupt. Carry on.
That would be even more worser.

Let's just say I can understand "potatoe" easier than this.

It is the first quote we are talking about.  Look at the first quote.  Yes it is in quotes.  You are talking about the second quote where "good" is related to what they are reporting about how he performed.

Yep, I see that. I understand what he meant to say, "No matter how much good I do, they never write about anything that is 'good'." This seems to be what he was getting at, but it is not what he said. He seems to be mixing the use of 'good' as a noun and an adverb throughout the statement, and it comes out as a complete mess.

It is sort of, kind of, easy to figure out what he was saying, but apparently he went to the George W. Bush school of grammar.

It is notable that he never once used the word 'well' in the statement. This would lead us to believe that this is a word that he does not normally use. I have always read that no matter how rich Trump became, he was still looked down on by the hoity toity elites. This may be a window into why that happened. Those guys can sense if you are 'one of them' in less than five minutes.

But again, this may all work out to help, not hurt, him. There is no faster way known to man to make enemies than to correct someone's English.

Well now, since yall done gone an called my name, I went back an I read me that post #14.


The gist of what you say there is that Trump is talkin' like a common man to git their vote. Well, that just ain't nowhere close to being true. Trump ain't no ways taaard! He come too far! From where he started from!


Stating the obvious and then claiming that it is some kind of 'insight' is ridiculous. Every politician in the history of man talks down to the population to 'be one of them'. This is nothing new. Just look at Obama's stuttering guy routine that he performs once in a while. This is Obama's attempt at being 'just one of the guys'.


I've got my own Post #14. I predict that Trump will kiss a baby! There. I said it. It's on record that I predicted it.

As baby cries during rally, Trump first says "I love babies," then "Kidding, you can get the baby out of here."
You could have won that with anyone but Trump, he doesn't like babies.

Except with Trump, he is not affecting his poor grammar.  He really doesn't use good grammar as a matter of course.

You really think Trump talks stupidly on purpose to get votes??

And from this post, you think that what Hillary did in her "No ways taard" was OK?

And you also compare Democrat Trump with Democrat Obama?  How telling.

Your entire premise makes me chuckle, 240B.

It's so silly.................... yet remarkably predictable for a Trump lackey!

http://data.grammarbook.com/blog/adjectives-adverbs/good-v-well/

"Good" modifies the verb "writes."  That makes it an adverb.

Good is also a noun, similar to "books".  One could write books.  One could also write "good".  It's a bit of poetic license, similar to saying one could "write evil".

Don't assume an error when another possibility exists.

I am still on track, and batting a thousand. I rarely make direct predictions on this site. But when I do, so far, to my own surprise as much as anyone else, they have all come true.

Now if I could just predict lottery numbers, or stock quotes, you know, something more productive.
