Language expert: Trump's way of speaking is "oddly adolescent"

1. So his language skills stalled at the same time as his maturing process.

Not surprised. People catered to him, made exceptions and adjustments for him, his whole life. He's never had to learn the art of finesse or compromise.

He's like the evil version of the Peter Pan Syndrome.

3. Ego is the anesthesia for the pain of stupidity

10. I think that's the best thing I've read, all day!!

May I borrow??

13. Had to look that one up!

6. Or history - or geography

Let alone how to get along with other humans. It's "his way or the highway" on everything. It's astounding that he's made it this far...

2. Thanks, but I didn't need an expert to tell me that.

7. I liked his comment that most people

have a "deodorant wearing, Sunday best" manner of speaking that they can employ when appropriate. Trump doesn't. He has one manner of speaking and it is that of someone who is barely literate.

8. We have this kid at work that is a little undereducated for her position. She's moved up to a

supervisory position on a trial basis, really just because we didn't have anyone else qualified. I'm sure she'll do okay, but it is a little challenging.

I'm much older and have 11 years on the job. I take her to places doing blood collection mobiles she has never been to, dealing with people she has never met. Many times there are things she needs to know that she can only know if I tell her, and she hates that! Kind of a typical kid that knows everything.

When I even start to try and tell her anything, she goes into this defensive, argumentative mode, cuts me off and blurts out what she thinks she knows, to try and stop me from being able to tell her anything. I patiently wait for her to get done and then tell her, fine, but what I was about to explain to you is.....She can be pretty snotty about that, but she'll just have to grow up and get over it. I'm not going anywhere and I have to do my job.

I've been around people like that before, and part of their communication problem, that really hinders their learning, is that they do not listen. When you are speaking, they are already only thinking about their reply, once they think they know what your getting at.

That's maybe a big part of Trumps problem. He was made the boss by his dad's money before he ever had a clue. He never had to listen to anyone after that, or learn very much. He failed miserably, but his dad kept pouring the money in to keep him from really suffering from his failure, and having to learn anything.

11. So now we are

suffering because of what his daddy did. Great! Understandable why the elite in NYC do not accept any of the tRumps. They all think like daddy, and that they are superior in some way. Wrong!

14. They say the big money usually only lasts three generations or so. I think Donald would have

been on his way to blow it all if he hadn't scammed the election. If he doesn't end up behind bars, he should have plenty of ways to make millions still. Still maybe leave Uday and Qusay with a chunk maybe. I'll probably be gone by then, but it will be interesting to see how Baron is doing years from now. He might end up with damn near nothing.

9. I wonder what is his average vocabulary

At the best, he does barely use 3 or 4 thousand words.

[TexasBushwhacker]

15. The ghostwriter of "The Art of the Deal" said his vocabulary

is closer to 200 to 300 words.

[syringis]

16. Waow !

Far more less than what is supposed to determine cretinism in the medical sense of the word.

If I remember well, it is more or less 3000 words.

By the way, I think Trump has more words, but clearly it is not someone who will bother to learn...

When he is left to himself, he talks as an unhinged who just escaped from an asylum and forgot to take his medecine...

12. Fascinating

By the way, just saw "Idiocracy" for the first time--it's not funny anymore because we're there.

[noneof_theabove]

18. And more prophecies from Hollywood...

Look at the tax plan and health care and tell me Soylent Green (1973) isn't just around the corner.
Considering we make it through the nuclear winter of The Book of Eli (2010).

17. The Proper Term

for this idiot is immature. I've yet to hear the media use this term to aptly describe Trump. He is immature on many levels, and his public speaking is one obvious clue. His vocabulary is limited, and his depth is non-existent on numerous issues.
