Not language. And he pulls down human created fictions (like the constitution, diplomacy, the law, democracy, that the GOP claimed to not be racist) because he cannot learn them (he lives only in a concrete world). And he then replaces the system with something simpler he can understand that comes from the gut. So by pulling down the old, he endears himself to people who are afraid of all the complexity.
