Donald Trump tweeted;
I believe the James Comey leaks will be far more prevalent than anyone ever thought possible. Totally illegal? Very 'cowardly!'
There is a word that’s off here.
I think that Trump clanged “prevalent” from “relevant”. My Dad had Parkinson’s-related dementia. This was a symptom. We could cover for him on relevant/prevalent, but at his worst my Dad may have said “elephant”.
Also known as “clang association”, clanging is a manner of speaking in which words are chosen for their related sounds rather than logical meanings. Many patients with psychotic mental illnesses such as schizophrenia present these symptoms.
I don't give credence to stories being written that Trump is expecting more memos. I think he chose the wrong word by mistake or by clang association.
