The problem with Trump is he ALWAYS speaks at a fourth grade levelI don't know about that. I don't think I've ever heard anyone complain about him being condescending.
Certainly a lot of his haters, consider him stupid.
I'm a hard core supporter and I don't find his speaking style all that endearing. Though it is growing on me with time.
You blame tv. If anything, I think it would be interesting to know it this was how he spoke when arranging those huge real estate deals.
Did talking to bankers and big money New York City real estate people, at a Third Grade level work? Or was that a more recent thing?
I think it has evolved over time as he was more removed from school and from making actual financial decisions, something he has not done in a long time. His company is now a holding company and he basically sells his name.
There is a reason that people push reading, it has an actual benefit.
We are speculating of course. I'm certainly not going to research his public appearances over the years and analyze them.
Regardless, He is an Ivy League Graduate that has found it useful to talk with a very low vocabulary level.
That you assume that means that is all the vocabulary he has, is a self serving assumption on your part.
Why should I assume anymore than he shows me?
A couple of reasons spring to mind.
1. You know he is an Ivy League Graduate.
2. You know that EVERYONE is more than they show you.
1. 50 years ago and he went there thanks to his daddy's money. There is no indication he was a good student.
2. Actually I would say that most show more than they are, we are a world of fakes.
There are about 50 topics that Trump claimed to know more about than any person living on the planet, they were all lies but he told us that anyhow.
Why would I now think that he would purposefully speak at a lower level than he is capable of?
If you could point to times when Trump speaks to world leaders or businessmen where he used a higher level vocabulary, you could dismiss the fourth grade stuff
But Trump never picks up his game.....it just isn’t there
