You've got to understand that some members of the media just don't get it. That's the reason President Trump has to get through to those people.

They're unqualified.

That's all there is to it.

Remember... Trump was a Democrat for most of his adult life. I didn't like him then, either.

Trump is so beloved by his "base" because they don't understand complex words.

That is probably sadder than him being President.
That's a lie and you know it. Let's pretend that speaking styles were reversed, i.e. Hillary/Obama sounded like Trump and Trump sounded like Hillary/Obama but their politics stayed the same, you know you wouldn't hate Hillary/Obama regardless of what they sound like.

I think he sounds fine. A breath of fresh air actually from all the smooth talking politicians we've had.
Why are people so infatuated how he speaks (style) while apparently so uncaring about what he says (substance)?

So true.
Obama is a bland/boring speaker usually.
Hillary is bland, and additionally suffers from an unappealing voice.

It's not funny when people stutter. It's not funny when people who are handicapped have trouble controlling their limbs.

I should not be surprised that a Trump fan would think so, however.
Obama was a stutter fool at times, there is no denying that fact.

Trump is one of the most skilled, and effective speakers in decades, that's not my opinion, that is the opinion of subject matter experts in communication.

I always get a good laugh at these dems on here that criticize how Trump communicates, not understanding he is communicating on a level well beyond their understanding.

It is... when that speaker is actually saying something of value.

Repeating that "bad hombres" stuff over and over just makes people worry that there are some "bad hombres" (whatever the hell that means) and they're out to GET US.

OOOOOHHHHHOOOOHHH!

Alarmist.

Stuttering, if one does it, is not a mark of foolishness.

Yes.

I ask myself this quite regularly here lately.

"Ohhh! I love him. He's so down-to-earth and relatable!"

"He doesn't try to use big words to confuse people."

How that translates into honesty... I do not know.

Some of the biggest liars I have ever known use small words.

You are referring to the LIE of the Year Award for President Obama - that's the thing about "lies", when they are proven to NOT be "truth", it's a disaster.
