I had to stop and think, but I'm not certain this exact phrase didn't occur anywhere in The Newsroom.

Trump: the number of liquid
Reporter: [nods]
Trump: it's just too big a number of liquid for baby

Headline: Scientists uncertain about Trump vaccine claims. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Trump: "It's too much liquid. Too many different things are going into that baby at too big a number. The size of this thing when you look at it. It's like 80 different vaccines and beyond vaccines."
