The Orange Cheeto Literally Talks Like A Third Grader

I guess you have to if you want to win the support of conservative rednecks out there in the country....

"Donald Trump isn’t a simpleton, he just talks like one. If you were to market Donald Trump’s vocabulary as a toy, it would resemble a small box of Lincoln Logs. Trump resists multisyllabic words and complex, writerly sentence constructions when speaking extemporaneously in a debate, at a news conference or in an interview. He prefers to link short, blocky words into other short, blocky words to create short, blocky sentences that he then stacks into short, blocky paragraphs.

The end result of Trump’s word choice is less the stripped-down prose style of Ernest Hemingway than it is a spontaneous reinvention of Ogden’s Basic English, the pared-down lexicon of 850 words selected by early 20th century linguist/philosopher C.K. Ogden as the bedrock of a new world language. In the August 6th Republican candidates debate, Trump answered the moderators’ questions with linguistic austerity. Run through the Flesch-Kincaid grade-level test, his text of responses score at the 4th-grade reading level. For Trump, that’s actually pretty advanced. All the other candidates rated higher, with Ted Cruz earning 9th-grade status. Ben Carson, Mike Huckabee, and Scott Walker scored at the 8th-grade level. John Kasich, the next-lowest after Trump, got a 5th-grade score.

Trump’s low grade at the debates wasn’t a fluke. His comments from an August 11 news conference in Michigan earned only a 3rd-grade score.

Flattening the English language whenever he speaks without a script, Trump relies heavily on words such as “very” and “great,” and the pronouns “we” and “I,” which is his favorite word. As any news observer can observe, he lives to diminish his foes by calling them “losers,” “total losers,” “haters,” “dumb,” “idiots,” “morons,” “stupid,” “dummy” and “ disgusting.” He can’t open his mouth without bragging about getting the Clintons to attend his wedding, about how smart he is, the excellence of his real estate projects, the brilliance of his TV show, his generous donations to other political campaigns and so on. In a freakish way, Trump resembles that of Muhammad Ali at his prime—except the champ was always kidding (even when he was right) while Trump seems to believe his claims (and often is wrong). Or perhaps he is afflicted with binary vision disorder, which renders all within his eyeshot either great or rotten."

Heh. Nice to know how easy it is to get under your skin.

I'll say this, Trump's dumbed down vocabulary is exactly what marketers do when they want to sell you something, so there is a lot of wisdom behind it. Copywriters deliberately write at no higher than the 5th grade level when selling, otherwise conversion rates plummet when you write any higher....it's a well known phenomenon in the marketing world. Trump knew what he was doing.

You could have saved your self some time by just typing "your stupid".

Just say'n.

What were you saying about being "juvenile?"

SYTFE, stifle yourself before you make a bigger fool of yourself than everyone already knows.

What? That post was complimentary. I'm complimenting the Orange Cheating Cheeto and his ability to manipulate his drooling followers by deliberately dumbing down his language to the third grade level.

 

[SYTFE]

You're calling someone a cheeto and complaining about them talking like a third grader?

It's a real mystery why you guys lost isn't it?

Who's complaining? I love it!

 

[SYTFE]

Gosh....you guys are so touchy. Bunch of snowflakes here....sheesh.

 

[leftwinger]

Your beeatch was a lazy, sick, criminal with a 25 year history of lying. Trump out-worked your lazy butts. Get on board the Trump Train is rollin' All aboard!

You're not done yet. there is no point, you're a complete idiot and you cannot possibly sink to any lower level.

On one hand, I understand that concept; ie that you cannot sink any lower. But on another level, I would ask if you had any pride you wish to salvage.

Well, that is the abbreviated version of your post, is it not? If not then I'll gladly apologize because, well, I'm that kind of guy.

Under my skin? I think not. Once I accept someone is just a dumb c--t, nothing they do can bother me.

Trump certainly is under your skin. You can't stop bitching about him. It's going to be a great four years watching dumb feminist c--ts wail about his every little move.

 

[leftwinger]

She should have been locked up in 2015 (first time around). The American people spoke. Downfall began when Trump handled "lil Trump"....... get on or get out of way. T-Rump don't play. I hope he had algore sit in the chair with the short legs.

 

[Jackson]

Talks like a third grader?? He gets things done for the benefit of this country. More jobs on the horizon...

Perhaps you missed the latest..

US Steel wants to accelerate investments, bring back jobs, CEO says

Another 10,000 jobs.. and that is just today. Thank you Mr. Trump!

No, you're just acting like a third grader.
