"Nose-picking little jerk." John McWhorter, professor at Columbia, on Trump.
Here is a link to a delightful segment deom Brian Williams' show last night. His guest was John McWhorter, a professor at Columbia, who teaches linguistics, philosophy, Amercian Studies, and music history. He shedded Trump's egregiously immature and limited way of speaking. Well worth a listen.
I savored his every word, and am going to listen to it again. The quote might be a slight paraphrase, as I have only listened to it once, so far.

Very interesting take on Trump's "way with words".
