National “Talk Like Trump” Day

Newest polls all continue to show The Donald leading in Iowa, the Granite State and nationally. (And Ted Cruz is picking up momentum everywhere as well.)

In honor of this achievement, the Ace of Spades held a Talk Like Trump Day – the same as “talk like a pirate” only more fun. First, the premise:

If you follow Trump on Twitter, you see he has a specific style of messaging. The formula is Brief Opening Thought, Vague Elaboration, and then a Brief Summary With an Exclamation Point!

Followed by this Ace’s (made up) example:

Immigration policy is a disaster. A real shambles. People ought to be ashamed. Build the wall!

So what do you say? Let’s try a few. First, choose a topic – Thanksgiving, since it’s coming up:

The first Thanksgiving. Pilgrims and Indians, getting along, eating together. Now we can’t even play football together. Save the Washington Redskins!

Or the new Star Wars Movie:

Darth Vader, very tough, controversial guy. Got things done. Loved his son, good guy, even though he was an anchor baby. Ted Cruz is a foreigner!

On the Fox News Franchise:

Fox News, I watch it. I like Maria Bartiromo, nice looking girl. Asked good questions in the debate. Needs to touch up those roots!

And the Syrian refugees:

Syrian refugees. I don’t like them. You know, they’re not sending us their best people. Most of them look like terrorists. Send them to Saudi Arabia, they have empty tents!

And finally, his Thanksgiving turkey:

My thanksgiving turkey will be the best ever. The best ever. Grown in America. It’s HUGE!

The Donald’s Thanksgiving prayer: Make America Great Again

Go ahead, try it yourself. Even some of The Donald’s opponents, who aren’t doing so well in the polls, are trying to play along – although they sometimes miss the main point.
