It's not to say, though, that Trump couldn't bump up his speech and include a new array of words or more eloquently explain himself. If he did, he could sound pedantic, or his words might go in one ear and out the other. After all, a president wouldn't want to speak at a reading level that's higher than that of the general population. Perhaps it's a ploy to make him seem more relatable - and less like a scholarly politician perched high up on Capitol Hill. Still, it's possible that Trump's propensity to speak at such a low reading level is intentional.
According to the report, though, someone who can't read above a fifth grade level is actually considered "functionally illiterate," meaning they supposedly aren't literate enough to "fully function in society." Essentially then, according to this measure, Trump speaks on a level that's functionally illiterate. So, it's safe to say the majority of the population definitely understands what Trump is saying (regardless of what he says or how well he says it). I think that would qualify as not smart, but genius and a very stable genius at that!ĭays later,, a database with a "complete collection of Donald Trump interviews, speeches, tweets from twitter (including deleted tweets) and more," started the analysis.Ī report from Harvard called " The Literacy Problem," estimates that the average American adult's reading level ranks anywhere between eighth to ninth grade. to President of the United States (on my first try). I went from VERY successful businessman, to top T.V. Crooked Hillary Clinton also played these cards very hard and, as everyone knows, went down in flames. In response to the buzz around the tell-all book, Trump tweeted: Actually, throughout my life, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart. The claim was made after journalist Michael Wolff's juicy Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House was released. Instead, the president prompted them when he defended himself as a "stable genius" on Twitter. Questions regarding the reading level at which Trump speaks didn't come up out of the blue. In fact, the vocabulary and grammar he uses in public speeches is worse than that of any modern-day president. Since this pattern occurs pretty consistently, it might not surprise you that Trump speaks at a fourth grade reading level. As he reiterates that thought, he throws in hyperbolic words like "the best" or "the greatest you've ever seen" without adequately backing up the lofty claim.
He gets ahead of himself, jumping from one incomplete sentence to another to make a point he repeats over and over again.
