“If Trump’s IQ matches his verbal skills it is about 85.”
I saw a chsrt back when there were 15 candidates that assessed the level each candidate was using to communicate with the voters. Trump was at the very bottom using 6th grade level speeches. Looks like he found the level of intellect of the bulk of the country. He must have picked up on the “Watters World” man on the streen interviews which show the deplorable state of the reasoning abilities of our citizenry. Trump had it figured out from the getgo. Go Trump!
A really intelligent person can speak simply. Trump doesn’t need to impress people with ten dollar words. That would stand in the way of connecting with people and connecting with people has been essential to Trump’s success in business. It will also be vital to the deal making needed for an effective Trump Presidency
Simplicity of speech is a beneficial approach to life for many reasons not least of all because others underestimate you and then you can get the drop on him/her.
This quote speaks to one of the essential differences between Trump & Cruz.
“Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply.” – Stephen Covey
Simple speach is the best speach since everybody gets it. Saying things in simple way is like taking a verbal photograph —you get it in an instant. It is like a picture is worth a thousand words but simple words are the closest thing to a picture. Jesus used simple speech because he wanted to get to the heart of the matter. The Pharisees on the other hand liked to impress people with their elaborate language to establish their authority which was the authority of man and not of God.
