20. I think Trump has nasal polyps which effects his speech.

Everyone likes to say it is cocaine, but I think he's got polyps. His personality has changed over the years. Trump's MO changed. I can't remember whether his feud with Rosie began before or after the Apprentice. Then in the Apprentice, he developed a different speaking style.

Keep in mind, his base loves his speaking style. If he would have spoke articulately as he did in that 80s video, he never would have won.

They like terms like "bigly".

They like that he speaks at their level.

We're sitting here analyzing it, while his base loves it.
