I know Trump repeated the word “reign” in close proximity.

Agreed. He did.

Think “Multiple meanings.”

The way he said it, the word took on another flavor in the repetition.

There is a wonderful parody of the Baroque cantata by Peter Schickele called “Iphigenia in Brooklyn.”

The end of the recitative has the singer singing with the text, “Only he who is running nose.”

The aria following that recitative introduction, takes as its text “running knows.”

But everyone listening is howling because they are hearing instead, “running nose” repeated over and over.

I think POTUS may have done a similar word play with the words “Reign” and “Rain.”

I highly recommend the work of Professor Peter Schickele for those not familiar!
