Through the Looking Glass - Very Darkly

QUOTATION: “When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.” 

“The question is,” said Alice, “whether you can make words mean so many different things.” 

“The question is,” said Humpty Dumpty, “which is to be master—that’s all.”

Mr. Dumpty was the original egg head

He was confident in all that he said

The words were his servant

And every word meant

Exactly what Humpty intended.

Humpty’s meaning was sometimes oblique

His word use was often unique

Their meaning was bent

To Humpty’s intent

He was the master of political speak.

Any resemblance to any person living or dead, in the public eye or running for public office is unintentional and purely coincidental.  That’s #Sarcasm!
