Title: Trump and Linguistics
Post by: Hawkmoon on October 06, 2019, 10:40:46 AM
MSNBC turns a linguist loose on Trump:

It was a very long time ago and I only took it for one year, but I did have some linguistics in my checkered academic past. And there wasn't much about "linguistics" in what this alleged professor had to say. Not that I completely fault the professor. The host was clearly not interested in delving into the linguistic aspects of Trumpspeak. The network was looking for another way to bash Trump, so they used a professor of linguistics as cover for tossing out a bushel of pop psychology technobabble to take another approach to discrediting the President.

So what else is new?  Trump can't develop a boil on his butt without the hyperleft lemmings screeching.

Ho-hum.  But I appreciate your contributing evidence as to the shameful activities of the left.

And all of that BS makes it so much more enjoyable watching The Donald throwing the insults right back at them.
