‘People don’t like to hear this but Donald Trump is a rhetorical genius,’ says Jennifer Mercieca, an expert on political communication from Texas A&M University.
Interesting to put the labels to the techniques, thanks Dr.
What
From the orange, oranges,...from the beginning.
No.
Why do you go ahead and do a story like this? He's, a liar, not a genius and the world knows it. This is just plain stupidity on your part.
emilyjodell If you consider a carnival barker a genius then yes...yes he is.
I see people don't like me saying that Trump's rhetoric is 'genius.' Yikes. (think 'evil genius'?). When I say that his rhetoric is genius I'm also calling him a dangerous demagogue who weaponizes rhetoric to prevent himself from being held accountable. It's complicated.
Am I supposed to answer that....damn.
NOT
The answer is so clearly and obviously NO. That to pose the question as some discussion to have is ridiculous. No one thinks this. The exact opposite is true. Question being what is his appeal with such a diminished mental capacity? How does his base interpret his verbal aphasia
Here's your path to becoming a 'rhetorical genius' in a nutshell.
No. No, he is not.
Betteridge’s Law applies.
switching to click bait these days? if you cant find any news stop making up nonsense.
No, he was merely born wealthy. If he was poor they would just regard him as the office asshole with too many opinions.
Being an adept con artist is not the same as mastering the art of rhetoric
NO
Yes. How do you think reality TV star becomes president
Trump isn't a 'rhetorical genius'; mainstream politicians don't connect with many voters. They are voting 'Not Them'. This trend shows no sign of abating either in the US or Europe.
Tl;Dr No.
No
Absolutely not.
Apart from impeachment nothing can stop Trump from doing what he wants to do, Not The Media or anyOne in World Politics his mindset wont allow it,call him what you want but his though process is ultra rare,only a handful of people who have ever lived Have ever had it Fact
He’s rather a genie out of the bottle.
Thanks for that headline, now I have 0 respect for anything you say!
Only for idiots!
? No! He’s the worst man in the world - ever. Shove in the black hole! Oooo Matron!!!
He's a stable genius.
No.
Nope
Persuasive? Only if one is incredibly stupid...
No
Hitler was as well
Who, exactly, does the idiot writing this think that Trump is persuading? He has a cult following of approximately 30% of Americans who believe everything he says. That group seems to remain constant. That leaves approximately 70% of Americans who don't believe a word Trump says.
45 and his family are a National Emergency
Not really. It’s just made effortless by the prejudice, ignorance, faux patriotism and the general level of cognitive ability of his audience and amplified enough to stick.
Genius is a bit of a stretch. How about something more like ignorance. The only way he can do what he's doing is by not caring about what he's doing.
Uh... no
Trump knows how to talk to the stupid.
Yes
