Gingrich: One of Trump’s great advantages is he talks at a level where 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade educations can say “oh yeah, I get that.”

Trump and the republicans believe in child labor, Trump enjoyed hanging out back stage at the teen USA pageant, he is a 4th grade bully.

Once again, Gingrich, the serial adulterer, is lying.

Doturd speaks at a 4TH GRADE LEVEL and NOT a 5th grade. It is an insult to all 5th graders world-wide.

Science proves, once again, that Doturd is the dumbest motherfucker in human history.

He's dumbed it down since 2016. There's no way Trump is hitting 4th grade levels anymore.

No doubt he regressed due to the Adderall addiction and onset dementia.

Plus he's a fucking IMBECILE.

I have no doubt the father had a higher vocabulary, but he may not have used it in speeches. I actually remember discussing this in a class in college...the fact that ever since TV (and maybe even radio), politicians dumbed down how they spoke to get across to more people.
