He's wrong about that, languages without writing tend to be complex. Look at the older languages, they're more complicated have greater rules, more tenses and conform more directly to rules.

I don't think he was referring strictly to complexity. I think he means "the bare minimum" in terms of articulation and rhetorical skill.

Also, he used to be a redhead with a big, bushy beard. I think the fact that they deviated so badly from the original is a big part of why I spent so long on my informal boycott of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Oh, well in that case I can definitely say with complete confidence that I have never been Australian.

Yeah, that bit made me laugh too. In fact I had to check it wasn't a parody thing.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

There's a YouTube channel called charisma on command which focuses on the way Donald Trump speaks.

The creator of that channel actually bet $1000 that Trump would win and didn't vote for him on the basis of how effective his speaking is.  Donald Trump knows words, he has the best words.


The video also mentions the reverse technique used by someone like Russel Brand. 









Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.

He sometimes just babbles on inchorently in such a way that typed out, it takes 6 minutes for 90 second thought.

If being a buffoon that praises yourself and uses simple forceful language can get you elected can it get me a date?

Let me tell you, let me tell me you don't want those other, sleazy guys. I'm very handsome.
Lyin' Jim won't respect you. I am so respectful. Nice bootie! See, I give compliments all the time. The coffee shop down the street is one of the greatest and best coffee shops. So I can definitely accompany you there.

In a similar vein:
