Except you don't, according to his minion KellyAnn, you have to know what's in his heart, not his words.

Insecurity. He needs to fill up that empty hole of insecurity in him.

"...regularly and repeatedly insists that he is the most brilliant person, has the best memory, the greatest ideas; people who are relatively secure do not need to tell others that they are great, but people who are not secure have to cover a 10-foot gap with a 100-foot bridge, so afraid are they that what they actually have to say is exposing some fundamental flaw. Trump's use of superlatives belies a rather profound sadness..."

What I loved most about COVFEFE was his PR spinners stating that it was "code" for something and that everyone--except you stupid media people--understood what it meant. It wasn't a mistake, it was a real word because Trump never makes mistakes.

Yes !!!

That's a great example !!!
It's a new word used frequently now that has a common meaning. One that has become very useful. Born of a brilliant mind its a wonderful new word. Gaining wide acceptance, even by those of less brilliance who can latch on to it and use it to advantage. With a little imagination it could hide the low IQ of its user. That's a tremendous advantage when one wants to hide a foolish thought or the fool themselves.

Default Why does Trump overuse empty superlatives?

Great question~~ If it hasn't occurred prior to his election I sense it has been LOST on his BASE and Bot-followers!!

In short those Empty Superlatives proved from DAY one when he entered the race with more than 14 others in the Primaries.. He SELL's BS and superlatives his way to getting gains. Kind of like what Snake Oil salesmen did BACK in the Day promoting a product to cure ALL ILLS!!

It's a Shame what was once a powerful Country has NOW been reduced as an "Untrustworthy" or Leaderless Country that refuses to follow anything that resembles support for ALLIES!! He's full of BS and lately he's been outed for collusion with Russian Operatives and kisses Putin's A$$ .. No wonder Allies have already deduced.. "WE ARE ALONE" and CANNOT count on USA now!!

Trump is an EMPTY VESSEL ~~ definition~~

Empty vessels make the most noise.


In English: Empty vessels make the most noise. -- Those people who have a little knowledge usually talk the most and make the greatest fuss.

In Russian: Пустая бочка пуще гремит

In Polish: Krowa ktora duzo ryczy malo mleka daje. -- The cow which moos a lot gives little milk. = The person who boasts a lot about his talents/possibilities rarely has them or hardly ever does what he promises to.


ETA~~ I would also include his family in that too~~ I feel bad for Ivana ( mother of the first 3 kids ( Donald/Eric/Ivanka) who Donald Senior corrupted once Ivana exited the sphere of influence!!

^^^ LOL my underlined above says it ALL!! If it was not so detrimental I'd ROFLMAO!!
