trump is delusional enough to think that he can stop the leaks-- probably shouldn't have talked so much crap about all the suits/cia- types. his increasing 'paranoia' will lead him to form a trumpy 'brown shirt' security detail. that's when the press jumps on him like wolves and accuses him and his group of treason. shitstorm. hello, paul ryan! just kidding

I should've watched a movie. I've been laying here waiting for trump to arrive and speak for always an hour. Air Force one landed a few minutes ago. Should be soon.

I don't read clickbait Doc, cliffs please? Or copy?

Sorry dude, I can respect that. Fuck clickbait


President Trump is a master of language.

His performance at Thursday's news conference may have baffled political insiders and been skewered by late-night comics, but there's no denying the country has hung on his every word from the moment he began his presidential campaign.

While Trump's standing in the polls has dropped nationwide, his support among his core following remains strong. That's in part, experts say, because of his use of language that resonates with them and captures their feelings better than any politician has in years.

It may not be poetry, but among the most effective weapons in Trump’s rhetorical arsenal has been his ability to stick labels on his opponents (Crooked Hillary, Little Marco, Lyin’ Ted).

“Labeling and trying to imprison the opponent in a cage of your making is a shrewd move,” says Todd Gitlin, a Columbia University professor of journalism and sociology.

Yet when critics try to stick a negative label on Trump, he successfully flips the term around, either turning it into a positive or hurling it right back at his opponent.

The main takeaway is that Trump uses simple individual words, but in ways that make them powerful and stick. He's a genius of marketing.

While his detractors are whining that he uses GOOD, BAD, FAKE as monosyllabic elementary attacks, he's doing it perfectly on purpose to get the desired effect. he's not stupid, he's genius.

i totalyl agree with this. his power of persuasion is impressive

he seems to be strengthening his base (which is part of who voted for him), while alienating most of the left, and disapointing some of the people who voted for him (probably a minimal amount since people on both sides experience confirmation bias - or some type of bias if that doesnt describe it well)

yet he will go on about how he is trying to unite the country. he cant actually think thats true. but liek u said, he is a master. so he is saying it for the benefit of the niche he is trying to appeal to

overall, it scares me. bc he is going to get stuff done that i done like lol

Did your phone autocorrect 'just simple' to 'genius'?
:p

That was a true act of reaching across the aisle.
