a lot of people, many people, etc.: when used in a construction such as "a lot of people think..." or "many people are saying..." this should be regarded as a statement of his own personal opinion.

disaster: label applied to any entity that is not acting in accordance with his wishes.

nasty: unpleasant, objectionable; as in a question that makes him uncomfortable for any reason.

smart: adjective used to describe any entity that is going along with his wishes/demands (i.e., Columbia U. is "smart" because they immediately went along with his demands, unlike Harvard, who took a stand for what they believed was right).

we: this is what is called the "royal" we, because it means him, personally (not him and a group of other people).

It's like a code. If you assume that regular, everyday words and phrases mean the same thing when he says them as they would when someone else says them, you will have trouble understanding what he really means whe he uses these terms. Once you learn the code, it becomes much easier to follow the real meaning of whatever he's saying!
