The "most beautiful" chocolate cake. The "very famous" white house.

[raccoon]

Who the heck talks like this?? Well, I mean we know who said these things, but if someone were writing fiction, any critic, even your best friend, would say that people in RL don't talk like that.

And the vast majority of them don't. Most people would say, "a delicious chocolate cake," or some variant of that. As for the White House, I think most people wouldn't need to qualify that in any way; it's one of a kind. Like the Statue of Liberty. Or the Eiffel Tower.

What is it with somebody who says such goofy things?

1. A madman.

That answers your question.

[PoliticAverse]

2. "What is it with somebody who says such goofy things?" - At a certain point you have to admit...

that maybe there's "a method to his goofyness".

[OnDoutside]

3. Someone with reading difficulties, thus a much reduced vocabulary ?

[0rganism]

4. empty platitudes from an empty soul

Trump's life is unique in terms of wasted opportunity
he could have made himself a great philanthropist furthering the cause of humanity but he chose instead a path of debauchery and fraud.
the vocabulary he flaunts in his speeches wouldn't fly in a public school essay past 3rd grade -- but his followers know what he means and praise him as a plain-spoken populist.

5. It's the Adjective Administration...

and most of the adjectives he uses are non-specific and pretty generic, too.

He tries to sound creative and expressive. He ends up sounding like an elementary school kid who doesn't really know what he's talking about.

8. That's exactly it.

I remember reading some of my daughter's papers in elementary or middle school - that used words in very odd ways. I asked her why, and she had apparently been told to be more creative in her choice of words, so she was using an electronic thesaurus and just grabbing the word it suggested without understanding the nuances in order to sound creative and expressive.

But Trumps mental thesaurus is limited to a handful of superlatives. That he uses over and over again.

6. Someone I know very well

describes everything she has as fabulous. But others have pointed out that more than one important thing is missing from her life. So, I just agree, everything you have is better than everything I have. All fabulous. So, I think that there must be something important missing from Trump's life. A father's love, maybe?

7. He never learned to speak appropriately. He was probably

alienated by his parents at an early age. He's immature and needy.

9. What?

What's wrong with cake?
