What Are Those Strange Noises Trump Makes?
The writer argues that Donald Trump has recently made unusual noises and verbal slips during speeches, prompting questions about how they differ from ordinary mistakes in casual speech. The examples matter because some appear to involve him struggling to retrieve words or beginning sounds before he reaches the intended phrase, though the article does not establish a cause.
The article cites Trump calling Nikki Haley “the governor EEHHP”, inserting “JAYYT” while discussing a Senate race, and referring to gas prices “on the top of the jigger”. It also recounts his apparent confusion between the Nobel Peace Prize and the Pulitzer Prize, while distinguishing these moments from routine false starts. One example, “shipyardcree”, is described as an anticipation error: the start of “create” appears to have slipped into “shipyard”.
In short
- Trump has made several unusual sounds and word slips in recent speeches.
- The writer distinguishes ordinary speech errors from more puzzling examples.
- One slip may be an anticipation error, where a coming word affects the current one.
