Trump's weird vocabulary

What's with Trump these days.  You read his Tweets and every other word seems to make little sense.  Is there something afoot here?  It is evident that Trump suffers from ADHD -- its been proven time and time again that he cannot focus on a subject for more than a few minutes at a time -- his calls with world leaders are often substance less.  Its not so much that he doesn't get stuff he just cannot focus.

His latest, which is to accuse Obama in the Russia election interference is probably the worse idea he's had (excluding the firing of Comey and the hiring of Flynn) he's now recognized that there was election tampering -- that got HIM elected!  Until recently, the party line was that there was no Russian interference -- now the leader of the free world say there was:  Who benefited -- Trump so he's scored another own goal, for no good reason, again.

Listing to his speeches there is something going on with his vocabulary, its shrinking.  Trump knows his audience's sweet spots (something Clinton was unable to find), and these days his supporters will applaud anything he says (kind of normal actually) but his vocabulary is shrinking from the pre-election times, his tweets are becoming stranger and stranger with a bizarre use of the English language (and I am not talking about the "Covfefe" incident)

It is evident that Trump is not having fun, hence the electoral rallies that are fun -- who doesn't like being cheered!  The job of president is difficult and endless, there are no easy solutions.  As an example he bombed Syria for "use of chemical weapons" a few weeks ago.  Turns out not even the US military believed that the Syrian Government had used chemical weapon, Trump decided that they had against the advice of his own military...

It would seem, for the occasional observer that I am, that Trump is increasingly isolated from reality. His support for Flynn, firing of Comey, his support and rejection of TrumpCare -- I mean in the same sentence Trump writes that its a shame that TrumpCare is not being voted on Tuesday, but at the same time (same Tweet) he writes that its a good thing because its a mean bill...

His Tweets are less grammatically structured than they were a few years ago, maybe its work pressure but again its not like he would spend hours in the past "crafting" his tweets.  Looking at how he wrote just a year ago, and today there is a strange shift in the use of the english language.  Something is up -- the "Kremlinologists" are looking at Trump's physique, he looks tired he seems to have put on weight, is this all part of health issues for the President?  I don't know, there is no doubt that the pressure must be intense, for a guy who's always had goodish press the past 200 days must feel like hell, but it could be something else.

Imagine, even FOX is starting to have doubts

The end of Tesla?

 it takes a special kind of idiot, to think that he can antagonize his entire customer base, and think that it will not impact his business. When Elon Musk went to work for Donald Trump, and created the doge department, he antagonized every liberal, and these people represent 90% of his client base.That’s not a brilliant move. Now Elon Musk is worth hundreds of billions of dollar, so he shouldn’t care a great deal, however, he needs to care because of several other issues. The cyber truck has been a disaster, most have had to be recalled because of defective glue, it’s not a truck, it’s not a car, it’s noisy, relatively uncomfortable, but great as a development platform. What Tesla has learned in making car manufacturing more seamless is truly amazing. The problem was that Elon Musk was so pissed with the Democrats, and with Joe Biden, in particular because of some slight, which were just plain stupid too. By the way, that he decided to support with hundreds of millions of dollar, ...

what people get wrong about tariffs

 The issue is simple. What percentage of the economy is dependent on tariff goods? The truth, is that the US economy is far more closed than people understand. People genuinely believe that all manufacturing has ceased to exist in the United States all given to China on the altar of woke policy the truth can be further from That statement. Only about 15% of US GDP is related to foreign trade. Of that amount, slightly more than half is from Canada in Mexico. And half of that is energy. What that means, is that about 7% of US GDP is tariff dependent. The proof in the pudding, is how little money tariff generates. People think that 30 or 50 billion is a lot it’s not in an economy that has $3 trillion. The impact on the US economy will be less visible but not absent. Inflation hasn’t occurred yet first because tests have hardly started to bite, but more importantly it’s such a small percent of the economy. Now certain things are critical. The rare earth metals from China were critical....

Demographics

 I am preparing a kind of family tree for our children so that they know where they came from.  In my family I am the only survivor, although my brother and sister died recently they were both in their seventies (a story I told already).    It was a fun process, but it provided more than that.  First, I married relatively young I was 26 when I married and nearly 30 when our first child was born.   I was looking at my ancestors.  On my mother's side, she had 6 siblings, Four died before the age of 30, two in war, and two from illnesses.  Only she and a single sister survived.   The two boys had a child each but they died in WWII, and the other sister died as an infant.   what is interesting is that every one of my mother's siblings had children in their early 20s.   I know that my mom was hardly 20 when my brother was born.    What is remarkable is that among our friends, we are the only ones to have fou...
