Simple Words, Authenticity and Leaders Who Speak Clearly

I use simple words, because I write to be understood, not impress

I am accepted, for my authentic, most beautiful self

My soul's a lot more valuable

***

Trump is trusted because of his simple language, and he repeats for clarity, so that people can follow along easier

It's humanistic, it's empathy and it works

Obama talked in a related, down to earth, powerfully human way too

Not like a Harvard or university professor he could've

That was what won the American people over

If you're an expert of something, you will not make fools, but experts of others
