VERY & REALLY Dear God, I am SICK of the words very and really. And he absolutely cannot use it once, it has to be twice its got to be very, very whatever - making it worse.
AMAZING This is to cover up the fact that hes lying so much he cant even fake these so called results that hes pretending to promise that hes never going to deliver anyway. And as it was just pointed out in The Washington Post, his supporters KNOW hes not going to be able to do half of what he says and THEY DONT CARE, THEY ARE FINE WITH IT!! Apparently, its the thought that counts. Yeah, its enough for him to lie to Americans, promising things that cant be done, and thats enough.

Over-the-top language is often used by someone who doesn't know what they are talking about and to feel relevant, the speaker says things like this to garner attention. Is Donald lonely?
When he repeats these same words over and over, I just want to

(12,631 posts)expensive private schools, he has a very small vocabulary, deficient in concrete words, consisting mostly of words of six or fewer letters. My eight year old grandson is more facile with words than tRump.
his style helps him connect with all of the uneducated people we have in this country.

(58,662 posts)What it tells me is that his basic language really is at about the level that was displayed on the P-Gate tape. It's gutter talk, at home in the seediest dives in the most run-down areas. That's how he normally talks. And of course it is boorish, bullyish, and over the top fake "manly" talk. That's his nature. Hell, you can see that in how he stands and walks, especially when he isn't "acting nice."
When he's on mike and in public, he knows he can't talk like that. He has to find acceptable adjectives so as not to "piss off the politically correct" crowd. That's why he uses all non-specific adjectives and a lot of superlatives. To someone with a normal vocabulary it sounds like what it is, childish and indicative of someone who is not well read or educated. The fact is he can't use any descriptors more sophisticated than "huge" and "big league" and "wonderful." It's just not part of his vocabulary.
It also demonstrates how strong his bonds to fellow humans are, which is not very. He has no clue what other people are feeling, and since he never learned true empathy as a young man, it is too late. He was never taught it, so he's always surprised when things he says or do get other people riled. He expects everyone around him to just eat it and let it all go. "It's just Donald being Donald." So he probably believes his own bullshit along the old juvenile "Everybody does it" excuse.

Trump talks like a third grader. He really is so so stupid. His stupidity is a disaster.
