What Is Donald Trump's Style?
Donald trump's style of speech has made it difficult for translators to understand him. He often starts with a subject and the verb, but then goes off on an unrelated tangent before coming back to finish what he was originally talking about. If he wants to make a point, he doesn't say it again using different words. This poses some problems because repeating yourself multiple times makes you sound a bit stupid in some languages.
