What is a possible reason that trump speaks the way he does?
Expert Solution
Step 1

Donald Trump doesn't speak like one. In many ways he used language to create a brand for himself. His sentences are grammatically awkward, repetitive and composed of highly simplistic words.

Many Speechwriter points out that Trump speeches are characterized by broken sentences and bizarre asides and they are not sustained arguments but rather a mishmash of disjointed sentences that do not combine into something greater.

Dissection of Trump speech patterns suggests that the unusual way he speaks has its roots in oral culture. Trump rallies his audiences through impassioned or say targeted conversation, even if this is one sided and usually does not follow a clear narrative.

Trump uses unusual patterns and ungrammatical phrases and long pauses. There are various reasons that Trump style of speech is effective such reasons are as follows:

1)They want to speak like regular folks, so they often use  phrases that are ungrammatical so as to seem popular.

2)Another reason i.e. Trump also do it because it forces us to listen more closely because Trump style is so confusing, so that audiences have to pay closer attention to make sense of his words.

For example : For those who covered and followed Trump during campaign, his style has become familiar and He often jumps to an entirely new thought before finishing the new one.
