The language of Trump
|
 Quote:Columbia University professor of linguistics John McWhorter joins to discuss the unique way Donald Trump speaks which is unlike any president America's had before.
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.'
I actually wish he was Thor. That would mean he wasn't a US citizen and hence ineligile for the presidency.

Yeah, but he would have an English accent therefore making him your problem. I don't see that as winning for you guys across the pond.

He's an Austrailian isn't he? You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid. Tinkety Tonk and down with the Nazis.
He used to be Norse, back in the old days. I've no idea what he might be now.

I really liked the video. I never thought I would wholeheartedly agree with someone who's being that condescending. But I do. I totally do.

Quote:Donald Trump, linguistically, is unadorned. This is the basics. This is what language was undoubtedly like when it first emerged among people who didn't have writing...
