I saw an interview with Donald Trump & his son, DT Jr., wherein Junior was asked how he felt about having been raised with such privilege. He replied talking about how great it was to have the ability to travel freely and have the opportunity for the best education, recognizing that most people don't have such opportunities. Then he said, "But at the same time there's a certain stigmata..."  Best education, my lily-white ass...

"But at the same time there's a certain stigmata..."Yeah, I think it's the hair-doo.

Hmmm. I think you rather hit the nail on the head. So to speak, of course.

Now that I think about it--what's the difference between saying, "I ingratiated myself" and, "I got ingratiated"? Transitivity?

'I ingratiated myself' is right, and 'I got ingratiated' is wrong.

On second thought, maybe that's not such a great idea. It could get you disingratiated before you become initiated.

words too big for him to handle
I can't help suspecting Mr.G.W.Bush of being instrumental in having (re-)started this trend..

Yes, no argument there.
