How to Talk Like Trump
A short guide to speaking the president's dialect
/media/img/2018/01/TrumpLang_Lead-1/original.gif)
A southward soon as Donald Trump announced his presidential candidacy, people noted a few of his linguistic quirks, such as the extended, supervowel pronunciation of huge and the references to himself in the third person. Only beyond those, the version of English he speaks amounts to its own patois, with a special vocabulary and syntax and psychological substrate. A year ago Alec Baldwin and I decided to write a parody memoir, Yous Tin can't Spell America Without Me: The Really Tremendous Inside Story of My Fantastic First Year as President, entirely in that dialect. To set up, I spent weeks studying transcripts of his interviews and printing conferences and depositions, too as thousands of his tweets, to get together a lexicon I could consult every bit we wrote. This is an abridged version of that Trump style guide.
