He has ADD and was a troubled teen. Always failing and getting in trouble in school. Even money can't increase intelligence. So his family sent him to military school. Pretty common at the time because no one had ever heard of ADD. The affluent sent 'short bus' kids to military school.

Yep. Because sounding educated is elitist.

It's now considered elitist to know how to speak in a professional manner? Folks, we've reached a new low.

It's true that communication should be concise, succinct, and easy to understand. An orator does not have to use euphemisms or "big, fancy" words in his or her speeches, but Trump doesn't even attempt to put together sentences that have a beginning, middle, and end. They're just random thoughts that travel all over the place with no consideration for the listener. There's no desire to impart wisdom and understanding in his communications.

We have computers with everything we could ever need to know right here at our fingertips. It's just a matter of being curious enough, intellectually, to take the necessary steps to learn. Constructive criticism is just that- constructive. Trump takes offense to constructive criticism and chooses his ignorance. His fragile ego gets in his own way. Smart people KNOW that they don't know everything and smart people choose to improve themselves. A smart president would want to be able to communicate like an adult rather than an adolescent.

Putting down those less educated than yourself certainly is.

Trump talks in Bullet-Points, which by itself is not bad.

He just beat 17 other people who communicated like an adult.

Are you saying that Trump is one of the less-educated? They guy who loves to tout his fancy Wharton credentials? Shouldn't a college-educated man have the capacity to string together coherent sentences?

Scored a 6.8. Wow, you almost came close to scoring a grade away from being able to move to high school.

We are all going to score low, because it is how we normally communicate.

But, if you feel it's due to being morons, welcome to our moron club. We will send you your ID.
No secret decoder ring? Did they discontinue that? I'm disappointed.

Of course, I have to point out that I never actually used the word "morons", because as I said in my post, I still try to think before I hit send.

So...YOUR WORD! YOUR WORD!

Seriously, this is fun, and I am not upset by your assessment in the least. I get paid very well for document preparation in real life, and I've had a number of articles and a few short stories published over the years. Message board games won't destroy me.

So can you show me step by step how you're doing it? Use the previous paragraph on which you got the 6.8. Thanks!
