So you also are a proponent of the ridiculous stripping of our language of magnificent words in order to make what YOU consider more powerful “declarative” sentences. Do you take Hemingway and the Chicago Manuel of Style to bed with you like some take a Teddy Bear? Trump’s way of speaking is his own. Americans heard him and were not turned off as you seem to imply. Get off your editorial kick and listen to what Trump is saying. It is his God Given Right to speak as he wishes instead of being subjected to the “perfectionism” of others. Adjectives and adverbs add color, nuance, and deeper meaning to basic words. Guess you also like short sentences as are found in children’s books.

That’s so ridiculous that it doesn’t deserve a point by point reply. Every writer needs an editor; Trump is no different. His great statement could have been made even more powerful with some minor editing. Too many thin skins who don’t want better & better for a Trump admin or the country. I support & voted for Trump. He knows there is always room for improvement and that perfection is a goal, not a state of being.
