Related: About this forumAnyone else notice something in many Trump speeches?
Many segments of Trump speeches sound familiarly "patriotic" especially to his base. I believe there's a simple trick he's using, drumming up images of something all US public and private schools meted out every morning:
Trump's speeches often follow the same meter, inflections and tone...
of the pledge of allegiance.
Anyone else notice this? Or is my imagination working overtime?
