Trump Speaks Like Regular Folk

[Neo-Scholastic]

Words convey ideas. If your ideas can be conveyed by such an uneducated vocabulary, what does that say about those ideas?

That's a very elitist thing to say. Many ordinary people have exceptionally good ideas even if they cannot express them very well. One of my friends runs a multi-million dollar construction company. Smart guy. But put him on a stage and he'd collapse like a folding chair in a hurricane.

Further, in diplomacy, connotations and implications -- nuance -- is very important.

Then hire a press secretary and appoint diplomats. Trump's approach isn't much different than Khrushchev's when he banged his shoe in the UN and shouted "We will bury you!" (Yes, I just compared Trump to a totalitarian leader. Interpret that how you will). My point is that hyperbole is for public consumption. The real work is not done from podiums but in backrooms.
