Analysis of Trump-speak here (interesting)
Here’s one major achievement President Donald J. Trump is about to pack into his first
100 days:
Twelve consecutive weekend trips to his own
properties
Trump dined at his new Washington DC hotel in this the last weekend
before hitting his 100th day in office which BTW he now calls a silly milestone before it was critical as to
what he said he would achieve.
That means that in his short Oval Office tenure, he has kept a
three-month streak of escaping to his own businesses — often at the expense of
taxpayers.
A
tally by the Washington Post found that Trump has trekked to his properties
twelve weekends in a row, and 33 times altogether in his first 94 days as
President. Since February, he has also never made it through one full week
without ending up at part of his business empire.
Each
of his trips has cost up to an estimated $3 million in taxpayer dollars for
travel and protection.
As
he nears his 100th day, Trump’s travels have run up a taxpayer tab of at least
$20 million, according to a CNN analysis.
That is more than one-fifth of the $97 million in travel expenses Obama ran up
in his entire eight years as President.
The regular retreats signify one (of many other) broken
promise from Trump’s first 100 days:
That he would anchor himself in the White House and forget about his other
abodes.
On the campaign trail, Trump told
supporters that if elected he would “stay in the White House and work my ass
off,” leaving no time for him to see his homes elsewhere.
Plus, he also constantly criticized President Barack
Obama for his golf games and for traveling on taxpayer money.
Since his inauguration, Trump
has played golf at least 14 times, usually at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida,
and he also has spent a weekend at the Trump National Doral hotel in Miami and two
stops to his new hotel across the street from the White House.
So, he has no
conflicts of interest, um? Oh, yeah we forgot, the president is “exempt from any conflicts of interest,”
right? How about a Rick Perry oops moment followed by this favorite Trump
one-word summary for himself: “Yuge” as
in huge hypocrite?
Summary of Trump-speak from this interesting video analysis
keep the word finding deficit disorder definition below in mind as you watch
this video speech.
People
with word
finding deficit disorder rely on
words with little meaning. They use phrases like “by the way,” or “believe
me.” They depend heavily on empty words like “really” and “very” and use a restricted
list of adjectives. Trump uses the words “tremendous,” ”amazing,” and “nice” –
none of which tells us anything. People with that disorder repeat themselves a lot.
Classic Trump examples:
After the RNC convention he said: “Thank you very much. We had an amazing convention. It was one of
the best. Ivanka was incredible last night. It has been just an incredible four
days. Tiffany was amazing.”
During the campaign and run up to
November 2016: “So, I will tell you,
I think we’re gonna get a lot of his voters. Because of the trade issue.
Because they understand. Because of the trade issue, I think we’re gonna get a lot of his
voters.”
A humorous keeper and his own words:
Trump's worst enemy? Himself.
