Maybe a little linguistic overreach is even necessary when the leader of the United States — who knows “the best words,” as he once boasted — favors the bluntness of “weak,” “stupid,” “clown,” “major,” “out of control” and “worst” over the relative shades of nuance and bureaucratic parsing once associated for good and bad with government institutions. It’s one of the reasons he connects with some people. Coded and inappropriate as he may sound, regardless of how you feel about him, there’s a moral clarity to his choice of words — we have little doubt how he feels even when he sounds like a teenager stumbling through an oral report. Toxic as the political climate has become, he appears direct, even as his language is full of “a lot of people are saying ...” and “to be perfectly honest.”
