A professor recently claimed that the way President Donald Trump formulates his sentences raises concern that he may be unfit to fulfill his duties as president of the United Statesall just months after he defended "Black English" as an "alternate form" of the language.

McWhorter further stated that Trumps informal style "betray[s] his lack of fitness for the presidency."

If this is the worst they can pin on him for being unfit for office, then he’s doing pretty well.
Of course he's going to criticize Trump. If he defended Trump, he'd be the only person in his school to do so.
His writing on Black English comes from his study of other dialects and pidgins and creole languages, unrelated to whatever political opinions he might happen to have.
John McWhorter ... They’re intentional.
listen Mr. Stuffed Shirt - Trump’s ‘informal style’ is exactly what enamours him to us. We don’t want double-speak, fifty-cent words, made-up constructs or ivy-league snobbery.
Trump should be removed because of typos on a phone keypad. Apparently his hands are not that small. Obama, on the other hand, was given a Nobel Peace Prize for something he might do. Yeah baby. More proof that leftist cannot be allowed to participate within a democratic government.
