And while Litt admits he holds a bias, there are other experts who have similar opinions of Trump's speaking style. Some have even compared it to that of an aggressive salesmen. One trick they point to is Trump's use of strong, punchy adjectives and other verbal intensifiers. For instance promising to make your children "very very safe" and build an "impenetrable, physical, tall, powerful, beautiful, southern border wall".
虽然利特承认自己持有偏见，但也有其他专家对特朗普的讲话风格抱有类似的看法。有些人甚至将其比作咄咄逼人的推销员。他们指出的一个技巧是，特朗普会使用强有力的形容词和其他强调语。例如，承诺让你的孩子“非常非常安全”，并建造一堵“不可穿透的、有形的、高大的、强大的、漂亮的南部边境墙”。
Another salesman tactic is to claim to have direct experience with what you're selling. Trump does this by starting many of his sentences with "Believe me". Experts say this works because people are more inclined to believe something that has been talked about or shared.
另一个销售策略是声称自己对所销售的产品持有直接经验。特朗普的很多话都是用“相信我”开头的，以达到上述效果。专家表示，这之所以能起到作用，是因为人们更倾向于相信已经谈论或分享过的东西。
Donald Trump has sort of ... brought this something we haven't seen in American politics as kind of far right populism. It's clearly proven popular with a certain segment of the electorate.
唐纳德·特朗普算是……带来了我们在美国政治中从未见过的极右翼民粹主义。事实证明，这受到了一部分选民的欢迎。
Trump and Clinton's radically different speaking styles may have something to do with their respective campaign themes. Trump tends to paint the United States as broken and weak, something that needs to be "made great again". Clinton, however, often lists off the country's accomplishments. No better is this seen than in their nominee acceptance speeches.
特朗普和克林顿截然不同的讲话风格可能与他们各自的竞选主题有关。特朗普倾向于把美国描绘成一个支离破碎、软弱无力的国家，一个需要“再次变得伟大”的国家。然而，克林顿经常列举国家的成就。从他们的总统候选人提名演讲中最能看出这种差异。
At the Republican National Convention, Trump stated that the country was in a "moment of crisis" in which attacks on police and terrorism "threaten our very way of life". But Clinton had a much more positive take on the state of the nation, saying America has "the most powerful military", the "most innovative engineers", the "most enduring values" and the "most dynamic and diverse people in the world". But as David Litt told us in the end, style doesn't matter as much as content, and their character comes through no matter what they say.
在共和党全国代表大会上，特朗普表示，这个国家正处于“危机时刻”，袭警和恐怖主义“威胁到我们的生活方式”。但克林顿对国家状况的态度更加积极，她说，美国拥有“最强大的军队”、“最具创新精神的工程师”、“最经久不衰的价值观”以及“世界上最具活力和多样性的人民”。但正如大卫·利特最后告诉我们的那样，风格并没有内容重要，无论他们说什么，他们的性格都会凸显。
