- He Sees Stupidity EverywhereHow often have you heard a president of the United States call something – let alone somebody — stupid? It is extremely rare.“Maddeningly stupid” was how Bill Clinton described some of Saddam Hussein’s actions in 1997. President Obama said the Cambridge, Mass., police had acted “stupidly” in arresting Henry Louis Gates Jr. in his home in 2009.But Mr. Trump? Over the past week, he called his political opponents “stupid” at least 30 times in public.“We are being run by stupid people,” he said. “I used to say incompetent. But stupid is really, you know, is the next stage.”On another occasion he cast the blame widely. “We’re stupid people, we’re being led by stupid people, and we’re stupid because we allow these people to get into office.”
- Me, Myself and IMr. Trump talks about himself a lot, using first-person singular pronouns like “I” and “me” more often than the recent presidents did.He uses these words about as often as George Bush, and more than President Obama. The claim that Mr. Obama talks about himself especially often — that is, uses first-person singular pronouns – is a popular meme, but it isn’t true.
- A Lot of ProblemsMr. Trump’s language is pessimistic. He uses the word “problem” often — at least 87 times in the past week. “I want to make this country so great again, it’s got such problems,” he said.There is also much, in Mr. Trump’s view, that is terrible – a word he uttered 20 times. “We got this one guy, he’s terrible, he’s the worst debater I’ve ever seen,” Mr. Trump said of Gov. John R. Kasich of Ohio, another contender for the Republican nomination. “He’s terrible. He’s terrible,” he added seconds later.
