I finally understand why Trump is so popular among the Republican base.

Donald Trump Talks Like a Third-Grader

Donald Trump isn’t a simpleton, he just talks like one. If you were to market Donald Trump’s vocabulary as a toy, it would resemble a small box of Lincoln Logs. Trump resists multisyllabic words and complex, writerly sentence constructions when speaking extemporaneously in a debate, at a news conference or in an interview. He prefers to link short, blocky words into other short, blocky words to create short, blocky sentences that he then stacks into short, blocky paragraphs.

...

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.

You actually spent time looking that shit up? Wow. That's thirty minutes or so you'll never get back. You must really have a hard on over the guy.

Looks like he copied it from an e-mag article. More like thirty seconds to do that.

I like that it helps explain why Donald Trump had to say "whatever" when he meant to describe Megyn Kelly's "nose".

I liked this line about Trump supporters:

Fox had created the Trump monster it was now trying to kill. But in a twist on Frankenstein, the mob at the end that appears carrying pitchforks and torches is rooting for the monster.

Donald Trump talks like a 4th grader: linguistic analysis​

According to Shafer, Trump's remarks at an August 11 news conference in Birch Run, Michigan, put him at an even-lower 3rd grade level (in the United States, 3rd graders are typically eight or nine years old).

Trump is 69 years old.

He has to keep it simple for his simple minded base!
