Quote:he way he speaks and the actual words he uses make for a distinctly feminine style. In fact, his speaking style is more feminine by far than any other candidate in the 2016 cycle, more feminine than any other presidential candidate since 2004.

To some, Trump’s ascent is evidence that society still prizes the masculine over the feminine, but what’s happening is more complex, and Trump’s style has qualities that go beyond mere blustery aggression. Research has shown that the more feminine a speaker’s style, the more likable and trustworthy he seems. For Trump, who has been derided for his multiple contradictions and outright lies, that advantage might well have persuaded his supporters to listen to him and not the chorus of media fact checkers.

It’s not just a lazy stereotype that men and women speak differently. In fact, researchers who have sifted through thousands of language samples from men and women have identified clear statistical differences. Some of these differences are exactly what you’d expect—men are more likely to swear and use words that signal aggression, while women are more likely to use tentative language (words like maybe, seems or perhaps) and emotion-laden words (beautiful, despise). But other patterns are far from obvious. For example, contrary to the common stereotype that men can’t resist talking about themselves, women are heavier users than men of the pronoun “I” whereas the reverse is true for the pronoun “we”; women produce more common verbs (are, start, went) and auxiliary verbs (am, don’t, will), while men utter more articles (a, the) and prepositions (to, with, above); women use fewer long words than men when speaking or writing across a broad range of contexts.

Hillary Clinton’s language falls above the average on this index—more feminine than George W. Bush’s, but less so than Barack Obama’s.
But Donald Trump is a stunning outlier. His linguistic style is startlingly feminine, so much so that the chasm between Trump and the next most feminine speaker, Ben Carson, is about as great as the difference between Carson and the least feminine candidate, Jim Webb. And Trump earns his ranking not just because he talks a lot about himself or avoids big words (both of which are true); according to Jones, he also shows feminine patterns on the more subtle measures, such as his use of prepositions and articles. The key then is not what Trump talks about—making Mexico pay for the wall or bombing the hell out of ISIL—but rather how he says it.

It goes on to discuss how a study showed that candidates with more feminine styles of talking are tend to do better than candidates with masculine styles because they're seen as warmer, more likable, and more trustworthy, however, men get a bigger boost than women when they use a feminine style. The difference isn't as profound for women. On some issues, female voice overs do better in political ads. In others, male voice overs do better. Emotional language works well in times of gloom and anxiety where less emotional language works better in times of prosperity and stability.

Trump does so well with his base because his feminine style that is heavy on emotions and "I" statements rings truer with those who feel gloom and anxiety due to Obama. Hillary does well with her base because her somewhat masculine style rings truer for those who feel like we are coming out of a time of stability and prosperity due to Obama.

I thought this would be because he never finishes one thought before starting the next.

And he's constantly interrupting to tell people they are wrong.

He wears women's underwear too.






(That's why he is always sniffing at the debates - trying to get a whiff of his own panties.)

Soon, you all will be sniffing his underwear, and you'll like it.

Remember when Ben Carson got lost backstage at the debate? Now their exchange makes sense. Trump was giving him directions because he knew Carson wouldn't ask for any.

Trump talks just like a woman, but he breaks just like a little girl.
