Hi,
Somebody says "i am gonna marry donald trump" means "it's incredible".
Does it?
I've never heard anyone say this. I guess that in the right context and with the right amount of sarcastic tone, it could mean that. But you could just as easily say many other things. eg
'I'm going to marry Queen Elizabeth.'
'I'm going to win an Olympic gold medal and a Nobel prize.'
Best wishes, Clive

CliveWould only women say this? If men say it, it would seem to give it quite a different spin.Actually, not. To me the idea is that the situation is very highly unlikely to the point of being impossible. This meaning comes across a bit more if a man says it, I'd say, but the core meaning remains even if a woman says it.

Maybe because you are not in NYC? :-)
Yes, very probably.

In the movie Die Hard 3,
One woman said like that
In the movie Die Hard Vengeance, around 48 min, in call center black woman uses this sentence. This means something like "damn, i need to be crazy".
