Have you noticed, Trump's 3rd grade level communication skills border on hilarious.
Find one of those quotes, watch the video and then read the text... 
Is this guy happy to have graduated the 6th grade? or what?

Is Trump deliberately sounding STUPID to appeal to a STUPID audience?  Democrats?
Dumb meet dumber?   Lucky for Trump "money talks" 'cause he can't.
"Hey, this guy sounds just like one of us Democrats!  His vocabulary is as bad as ours!  Yippie, we found a man-of-the-people!"   
Is that how the Republican party is expanded, dumb down the message for an illiterate, 30 second attention span, electorate?

Someone else noticed, maybe you agree.

Jack Shafer: "In the August 6th Republican candidates debate, Trump answered the moderators' questions with linguistic austerity. Run through the Flesch-Kincaid grade-level test, his text of responses score at the 4th-grade reading level. For Trump, that's actually pretty advanced. All the other candidates rated higher, with Ted Cruz earning 9th-grade status. Ben Carson, Mike Huckabee, and Scott Walker scored at the 8th-grade level. John Kasich, the next-lowest after Trump, got a 5th-grade score."

"Trump's low grade at the debates wasn't a fluke. His comments from an August 11 news conference in Michigan earned only a 3rd-grade score."

On the flip-side, we now know why the MSM keeps quoting & playing Trump quotes.
They can't understand 9th grade English - Ted Cruz.

My vocabulary is going to be huuuuuugh i'll tell you. You jsut wait and see. The best vocabulary ever, huuuuuugh, huuuuugh, and huuuuugher! The best ever!

He has to do something to appeal to the LIV's.

Have we become a nation akin to a bird nest full of baby chicks - squawking with with our heads in the air, mouths wide open, hoping government will feed us and care for our every need?

Trump - a message of surrender to government, "your gonna love it"
Cruz - a message of independence & self-reliance, "abolish the IRS"

Abolish the IRS & simplify the tax code VS more progressive/regressive taxes. 
After 7 years of the latter, you'd think even the dumbest of the dumb could figure that out.

Trump - restrict the internet, curb freedom of speech, sue the media.
Cruz - the amendments are OUR natural rights, not governments permission to restrict our rights.

After 7 years of the least transparent government in history, you'd think the MEDIA would figure that out....  unless News is just Entertainment.

and there's more:

QuoteFlattening the English language whenever he speaks without a script, Trump relies heavily on words such as "very" and "great," and the pronouns "we" and "I," which is his favorite word. As any news observer can observe, he lives to diminish his foes by calling them "losers," "total losers," "haters," "dumb," "idiots," "morons," "stupid," "dummy" and " disgusting." He can't open his mouth without bragging about getting the Clintons to attend his wedding, about how smart he is, the excellence of his real estate projects, the brilliance of his TV show, his generous donations to other political campaigns and so on. In a freakish way, Trump resembles that of Muhammad Ali at his prime—except the champ was always kidding (even when he was right) while Trump seems to believe his claims (and often is wrong). Or perhaps he is afflicted with binary vision disorder, which renders all within his eyeshot either great or rotten.
....
Still, don't interpret Trump's low scores as a marker of low intelligence. Trump's professional history indicates a skill at dealing and deceiving, inspiring and selling, and such attributes would likely qualify as a types of intelligence in Howard Gardner's book. The role Trumpspeak has played in Trump's surging polls suggests that perhaps too many politicians talk over the public's head when more should be talking beneath it in the hope of winning elections.

Trump like the low information voter - he's "dealing & deceiving, inspiring & selling".
They expect Something for nothing, but get nothing for something.

IMO - the people who like Trump fall into 2 classes.
Those who are his elitist friends who will benefit from greater authority & control over the rest.

Whoever states that these two aren't in bed with each other is lying through their teeth.

Trump and Hillary are on the same team.

Yeah, they both like women.
But yeah, no doubt they share the same leftist value system, or lack thereof.

How distasteful it must be for the rich elitist, to go out into the world of commoners and ask for their vote.  Having their pleasures interrupted by the filthy poor, those not worthy to stand in their shadow.

That picture, speaks volumes, "This is where -I- belong, these are my people".   

Here's another way one might see the
Trump/Bloomberg/Clinton picture:

Trump has been pretending to like these cretins all along.
Just now he's letting his true sympathies out.

That would explain why the Establishment is so strongly at war with him.
They see him as a traitor.

Instead of "one of them" who's playing us now,
maybe he's "one of us" who's been playing them.

Remember a few years ago,
when the White House hosted a dinner for many foreign leaders
in a tent on the White House lawn.

Trump was embarrassed for America.

He offered to build a banquet hall for such occasions.
He offered to spend $50-60 million OF HIS OWN MONEY to build it!

And the White House wouldn't even return his call!

Well that explains the speaking in half sentences the way Trump does I guess.

I"d thought perhaps,,,,and you know we really ought to make America great again...

It's been bugging me for awhile...  Where have we heard people talk like that before?
Now I remember - because I haven't been going to bars for 35 years!

It's that drunk guy saying, "I coulda been a contender...hick!"
There's been all kinds of youtube dubbing of Trump's video clips, now we need a "Drunk Trump".

Here's a couple of easy lines - imagine a guy on a barstool, wavering slowly back and forth....
"CCCHina...  China is killing us...hick  IRRRan nuke deal... .>belch<  Bama is ssssTUpid!   I gonna WHin aGain...  We gonna wwwwwwhhhin again...  Foren polishy..?  You wanna talk foren polishy?... I talk to myself... thas right, I talk to ..." - as he passes out and falls over, face on the floor, drooling, assets up, plumber's crack, etc.

That's where I've heard that linguistic style of Trump's before - 1am in a bar, some drunk trying to talk politics.

This is not at all out of the ordinary.
One of the first things they teach you in journalism class is
every newspaper wants their writing to be at a 7th grade reading level.

It was eighth grade at the two papers where I worked. You don't write down, you write for the broadest possible audience. Since the 1970s this expanded to include those who never learned proper reading skills in Democratic Party schools. In those cases, sixth grade is taxing their skill-set.
