[Ads-l] Analysis of President Trump's Speech patterns

[Peter Reitan]

In case you missed it last week.


This analysis of Trump's speech patterns by John McWhorter argues that the President's speech patterns are evidence of normal, casual speech, not of dementia or mental illness.  Of course, I suppose, this doesn't prove that such conditions are not present, but at least his speech patterns do not necessarily support the case made by some observers.
