Trump Speaks at a Fourth-Grade Level

Monday, October 07, 2024

New York Times: "A 2022 study by a pair of University of Montana scholars found that Mr. Trump's speech complexity was significantly lower than that of the average president over American history ... " "The Times analysis found that Mr. Trump speaks at a fourth-grade level, lower than rivals like Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida, who speaks at an eighth-grade level, which is roughly average for modern presidents."

No wonder the deplorables worship Epstein's wingman.

He is their Great Communicator... which is what Reagan was called.

"March 16, 2016
Most Presidential Candidates Speak at Grade 6-8 Level
Trump Generally Scores Lowest; Lincoln Remains Benchmark"

This is why pragmatic media can't get through to many Trumpers. It's over their heads.

Thinking about it, go change the voice on one of his "speeches" to sound like a kid and damn... It's that high? I was just talking to my neighbor's kid and he's in 4th grade, I think he speaks at a higher level.

He speaks at the level of a bowl of rice.

It's a small wonder that he resonates with so many Americans.

That jibes with the national average reading level, basically grades 7-8.

Trump speaks on a 4th grade level.

Yeah, but Melania doesn't. Especially on the abortion issue and women's rights.

Melania spoke out and agrees with the judge in Georgia who said, "Women are not community property."

Now I guess Trump doesn't like his wife so much any more.
