Trump's repetitive rhetoric is a trick used in advertising
youtube ^ | 17 Feb 2017

The style of repetition isn’t lost on linguists, who say his speech is similar to what advertisers use to get people to buy products. And it’s working, thanks to the makeup of our brain.

“This is something taught in every marketing class,” he said. “He knows how to use your brain for his advantage… Trump is always selling. He’s selling himself.”

Repeating words, she added, also can be used as a stall tactic.

How many times did Obama say: “If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor”?

Breaking Nooz:

Use of catchy, repetitive phrases works.

Who knew?

You mean like "make no mistake" and "let's be clear" ?

Who repeated those until they made me sick?

**... "Trump is always selling. He’s selling himself.”** If it were true that President Trump is (as the author implies) was using marketing ploys to relay his message and somehow manipulate public opinion, then I must respond, "what's the problem?" Team Trump = MAGA!

It takes a minimum of 7 IMPRESSIONS for the average brain to GET the message!!
Trump knows that!!

Hmmm, like Susan Rice repeating the same lie on 5 different SUnday News Shows, was that an attempt to peddle a lie, a lie they knew they were telling?

Yeah, we’ve all got our tricks.

Obama used to slip into preacher cadence, often and obnoxiously. It works on a lot of people.

Obama was also accused of using neurolinguistic programming techniques, or covert hypnosis.

He’s such a lefty... even signs with his left hand, FWIW.

Did he repeat it within a paragraph, or at one reading of his prepared text?

Not sure, but I think he just read the same BS at different venues?

0bama is a great and glorious speaker, he would never use the argot of the masses.

You think Fake News doesn’t do the same thing?

Since I have spent much of my life lecturing, with a small amount of preaching, I have a theory which is somewhat based on sigma; I can’t prove it, but I have experienced it with myself when I am listening, and with my audience when I am speaking.

If you hear something once as a focused listener, about one sigma (68%) of the information will be retained, but if you hear it twice, it jumps to two sigma, about 95%. By the same token, if you say something once to a focused audience, about 2/3 of the audience will remember it, but if you say it twice, about 95% will, and if you can say it three times without boring the audience, you’ll have three sigma, or 99%, remembering what you have said.

And one more thing. The MSM knows this as well, whether directly or intuitively. If a piece of news—whether true or fake is irrelevant—is spoken once, for at least a third of the listeners it will go in one ear and out the other, but if you hear it, and then hear it again from another source, and then hear it again from a third source, it’s in your brain, and the only way it can be gotten out of your brain is for other sources to disprove the information at least as many times as it was heard. Only Trump among the GOP bigw(h)igs understands this, with the possible exception of Cruz, though in his present position that is irrelevant.

Wonder what marketing school technique was used by Hillary?

Hillary and Bent Bill came out of the White House with nothing except the charm and marketing skill. /sarc

Tell them what you are going to tell them, tell them and then tell them what you told them.

Trump should return the favor and do his imitation of Alec Baldwin as Mitch and Murray's sales enforcer at the next correspondents' dinner. He would probably be more convincing than Alec.
