Trump pounding CNN and media

[Catskillkid]

Instead of the Flynn situation and the other so called "turmoil", Trump was able to change the focus of what people are talking about because of his press conference. Brilliant!

If you don't like what's being said about you, change the conversation. That's what Donald did with this press conference and brilliantly I might add.

It was sweet to watch. Keep up the pounding DT.

You know, sometimes I think he sounds childish, but also understand he's not a politician and I do like that. Have to admit I really liked the cocky attitude when he shut the press down about his response to the Russian ship offshore. It's none of their business what he's gonna do or how he's gonna handle it.

The level of sophistication in speech needs to be the lowest common denominator between the speaker and the audience. Something written at a 3rd grade level could be written by a 3rd grader, or it could be aimed @at@ 3rd graders.

If you use language over the head of your audience it may stroke your ego, but it will not be as persuasive.

Trumps press conferences are not for the benefit of the media or the elite, unlike his predecessors.

I would be interested in hearing a speech he gave that was intended for a more intellectual audience though, could prove my theory, or bury it.
