    I think that there are many things we can get mad at Trump for, but simple vocabulary isn’t one of those things.

    Speaking clearly is a virtue. Using plain language makes what you’re saying easier to understand.

    Using complex jargon where an 8th grade level of speech will do increases the load on people’s heads, which makes them get tired faster, and makes your message less accessible to immigrants.

    Trump is still not understandable even given the simple vocabulary, which is a huge strike against him.

      You said it all, the two paragraphs in between are true, but not really relevant to the situation.

      Trump isn’t speaking simply because he is brilliant educator, it is because he is dumb - which is not good qualification for the president.
