Donald Trump's Speaking Style

Improved Essays
I usually avoid posting politically charged statuses on Facebook simply because most any political statement can rapidly devolve into mud-slinging and ad hominem attacks due to people 's inability to truly consider both sides of every issue before speaking, however, this is something I believe needs to be said. Before I say this though, keep in mind, I am neither endorsing nor degrading the man in question, I am simply addressing something I believe needs to be addressed: Donald Trump.
The range of posts about Donald Trump is incredible, both pro and anti. As I look through my news feed, it appears that well over 50% of the things shown therein relate to the election with a large majority of those talking about Donald Trump. But I 'm not here to address his flaws or his redeemable qualities. I 'm simply here to

Two separate studies have shown this. One proved that he spoke in such a way that he was easy to understand, relate to, and made his words stick with you. In short, the study showed that his speaking style and use of sharp words such as "kill" to end sentences made his speaking very effective. The other proved that the way he spoke made people 's subconscious respond in a surprisingly positive way, much the same way people 's minds respond to dogs in commercials. With this in mind, he has sucessfully drawn large numbers of supporters. This is incredible.
So just to recap, Donald Trump is a genius. Not because he 's a wonderful person, but simply because he 's winning at a game he should not be. Trump shouldn 't be winning, he 's not a politician, and he 's often seen as undesirable, and yet he is. It 's incredible. Again, I 'm neither supporting nor attacking Trump, it 's just something I think is good to think about.
If you wish to comment, feel free. My only request is that you keep it civil. There 's no reason to rip each other 's throats

    With years of experience with reality tv, like his long running show The Apprentice, and being a public figure, Trump is very effective at manipulating certain emotional reactions from people, a fact he is very well aware of. Trump doesn’t spend much time dealing with opposing view often dismissing them with a quick statement, he instead spends his time getting his message across to his audience. Whether because this is nearsighted or because he is aware that reporters will be nipping at his heels to get coverage over the slurs and attacks he makes, Trump makes effective uses of the time he has with his audience. With his experience working a crowd and his appeal to the pride, fear, and anger of republicans, Trump is very cleverly and successfully serving his ultimate purpose of becoming president by playing to the right audiences and by dismissing…
