Love him or hate him, Donald Trump has a unique speaking style. It is not flowery. Nor is it eloquent, at least in its delivery. But at the core are the ideals that resonate with a public too long disenfranchised by the gradual erosion of its cherished values.

So look beyond the repetitions and the vague generalities to the heart of his words. I don't know if you'd hear Abraham Lincoln in them, but I think you'll hear authentic America.

Brilliant,

Yes, he talks, he has his own unique way and it certainly grabs my attention; the only other who really does that with me, is Limbuagh.

You mean the speech where Lincoln espoused government of the people, by the people, and for the people, while waging a war against the Southern people to deny them just that?

Hilarious and I love it, but until recently Trump seldom used the word “Democrats” because he’s not political in a partisan way. He’s starting to use it now because he’s learning who the real enemy is.

That is hilarious.

I can just imagine Dana Carvey (my favorite Trump impersonator) doing it!

LOL! But you need a few more "huges" and "beautifuls". Maybe include a "big beautiful cemetery".

Now compare this to the The Gettysburg Powerpoint Presentation.

As a long-time student, critic and practitioner in the various arts of writing, it takes really good humor, good irony, good satire, good parody etc. to make me smile.

Your outstanding piece of work made me LOL!

Good piece of writing, IronJack.

LoL. Nice to laugh on a gray Sunpay morn. Sounded exactly like him. Bigly. It is very fake news, but sounded bigly like him.

I enjoy Trumps lexicon and style, and yet as homey as it is, the MSM cannot seem to bash him for it like with GW Bush and Dan Quayle.

Great job. Bigly. Still winning.

I believe Trump repeats himself so much because today’s citizens have such short attention spans, they need to have things hammered home for them. In other words, Trump’s style is a result of our society. Were he to make his points without the repetition, many would miss them. This speaking style was irritating to me at first, but the longer I listened, the more I realized he was waiting for the duller minds to catch up.

Nope. In many ways he's less polished a speaker than GWB was. That only seems to really matter to people who want the same ol', same ol' though. His speeches crack me up.

Very smiley. Suggest one edit.

In that graf about the women, the men and women? Just add that “I did very well with women in the election, too. Very well.”

Y’know, even if they didn’t have the franchise then it’s funny. (After all, they didn’t have orange barrels in the way back then, either.

That was funny! I’d toss in a “believe me” somewhere, but otherwise, that was spot on!

Pretty good, but Donald uses triples almost exclusively. It’s a sales technique that he has honed over his lifetime and he couldn’t change if he wanted to. You did well mixing it up with adjectives and inversions, but typically his come in triplets.
