Many have noted over the past couple of years and it is no secret, that the Donald, our personal would-be dictator in chief, has a vocabulary that is underwhelming to say the least. I have read different opinions and research on this and most knowledgeable linguists and teachers that can assess this trait peg him at about a 4th grade level conversationally. It has served him well and I think it is one of the reasons he connects so well to his base — he does not talk down to them & they understand what he is saying perfectly well, including the dog whistles.
This is not a new phenomena though, if you listen to old audio of him-I’m thinking Howard Stern stuff here but also in more ‘proper’ venues- his speech & syntax has not changed at all. All of this is why I was so surprised to hear him refer to the processes our government has in place to define the branches of government (there are 3 Donnie) as ARCHAIC. Wow! Never in any speech he has given or interview that was taped has he used anything that was remotely similar. Is he on a new word of the day program? Some kind of self improvment kick? Did he hear it on Fox news and like the way it sounds? Color me skeptical.
You know who sound like that? Here’s a hint. DECONSTRUCTION OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE STATE, DEOPERATIONALIZED, & other assorted gobbledygook from the troll in the White House — you know, the one played by the Grim Reaper on SNL. We keep hearing how Bannon is on his way out, Jared the Kush is making a push. Yeah, right. Bannon has just moved out of the spotlight, he was too visible, too loud, too obnoxious to fly below the radar before but that is exactly what is going on now. Guess what! It’s working. No SNL appearances, no bad press because he is getting NO press. Just sitting in his troll hole deconstructing away. Archaic right?
So heads up all sane people. The bad stuff is still going on and will as long as Donbo is still prez. He will never get rid of Bannon the Deconstructionalist in chief. The bad press from Brietbart would kill him. Call him out whenever you can and don’t let this parasite kill America. Deconstruct some Trump instead.
