THE END OF AN ERROR: Part 2

Luke 14:11 “For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted”.

SLOGANS,REPETITIONS, and THE VERBIAGE of #45

Of the last 15 Presidents, over 90 years worth of speeches tested, our fearless  soon to be ex-president had the worst vocabulary of his predecessors. Using the FLESCH-KINCAID Grade Level Scale, as well as other diagnostics, #45used the fewest syllables (1.33 per word) and fewest unique words (2605) of any president since HOOVER. His own National Security Advisor  H.R. McMaster( whom #45 hired and fired along with many others) called #45 “an idiot” with the intelligence of a Kindergartener.

Politicians like to speak in a “folksy” manner, keeping phrases short and sweet. #45 is no exception. He considered himself to be a “stable genius” and enjoys communicating with the masses. But, What is a “covfefe”? I will certainly miss his down home funky style. I will miss everything he disagrees with (science/facts/etc) being a “total hoax” perpetrated by “fake news”. I will miss his “We” versus “They” innuendo. And his “complimentary” comments about others abilities, “He’s a ….. guy” (fill in the blank: great, loser, stupid) or the way everyone is “incredible” until they are not any longer needed. Hopefully, we (me) will never have to hear him say “huge” again. 

So, the Great Communicator, the Master of Superlatives and Repetition has left the arena…
