Like a great boxer dodging hooks and uppercuts while delivering a flurry of blows to his opponent, President Donald Trump’s signature “weave” speaking style dazzles audiences and makes him one of the great communicators in American political history.
Ahead of President Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress this evening, Americans are sure to hear plenty of derisive comments about the president’s supposed tendency to “ramble” when he speaks. But once again the media is only refusing to acknowledge President Trump’s special ability to connect with everyday Americans and effectively convey key policies on all the issues that matter most to them in rapid-fire succession.
Democrats and the corporate media began rolling out the “rambling” attack line last fall as President Trump’s iconic rallies, which regularly drew tens of thousands of people (one rally in Wildwood, New Jersey even had a jaw-dropping 100,000 people in attendance) were once again taking the nation by storm. By cherry-picking a few moments from the 45th and 47th president’s marathon speeches, the liberal smear machine attempted to make it seem like President Trump couldn’t maintain a cohesive train of thought.
Ironically, those same media outlets had just spent the last four years covering up Joe Biden’s cognitive decline and insisting that the man who couldn’t walk up the Air Force One stairs, fell off a bike while standing still, and repeatedly tripped over his own feet was fit to serve four more years in the Oval Office. (Don’t forget, either, the week-long media freakout over President Trump simply holding on to a handrail while walking down a ramp during his first term.)
The full remarks from all of his rallies, of course, show that President Trump always returns to where he departed from – a style he has dubbed “the weave.”
“You need an extraordinary memory, because you have to come back to where you started,” President Trump explained during his appearance on the “Flagrant” podcast last fall. “I can go so far here or there, and I can come back to exactly where I started.”
“To weave, you have to be brilliant,” he added during an interview with Fox News’s Bret Baier earlier this month. “To ramble you don’t have to be brilliant at all. But I like the weave because it covers a lot of territory.”
And indeed, this ability to touch on a vast array of topics is precisely what makes President Trump’s “weave” so effective. From building his business empire to his time atop the entertainment industry, President Trump has spent his entire career learning to be an effective speaker. Unlike most career politicians who sound rigid and stale in front of a microphone, President Trump has an innate ability to feel the mood and energy of an audience and adjust accordingly.
Without becoming boring or dull, President Trump provides colorful context while helping anyone listening to him understand the broader connections between various different issues. Through the power of storytelling, he provides the American people with an inside look into the events and interactions that shape his thinking and decision-making. “The weave” is a central part of what makes him the most open and transparent president in American history.
Corporate media ratings are collapsing precisely because they fail to understand the communications masterclass President Trump puts on every time he takes the stage. Rather than devolving into high-brow platitudes and meaningless cliches, President Trump distills complex ideas down to critical details. His clear and direct approach are qualities that Americans want and admire in their leaders.
The country is sure to be treated to a few unscripted stories and remarks tonight, and the media is sure to run plenty of ridiculous headlines suggesting that President Trump is unfit for office. But President Trump’s audience isn’t media elites or even members of Congress – it’s the American people, who said with their votes last November that they are eager to listen in.

Got the popcorn bowl at the ready. God bless President Trump!
He can weave and he can dance, the creampuff liberals have no chance!!! You leftist trolls can slither back under your rock, now.
Doing the “Weave” as president Trump calls his speaking style takes memory. When you get older your memory for details diminish. You forget names of your best friend, names of what things are called. And especially if one starts a topic and wanders away from it and then come back to it later. Most seniors of that age can’t do it. This shows how alert and smart President Trump is. Only the dems can’t stand it. Because they can’t seem to find a way to get him out. Why not? Because Trump has to much knowledge stored in his brain what the dems have done to destroy America. Their lies have been exposed because President Trump has proven that their policies are nothing but lies and the people voted away from the lying dems. Now tge dems are working on President Trumps’ fitness in office. He makes one mistake and they pounce he has dementia. Or he walked funny he is getting old and decrepit. The people don’t approve of his policies. How come every time an incident happens his popularity rises. Must be his brain. Or his speech. He talks to the country as a person that cares. He doesn’t have to whisper or shout like Biden. The people get him. Trump can be trusted. The dems cannot. We have the smartest, caring president since Lincoln in the White House. Only the dems don’t care.
He rambles?it’s news to me.Iwould call it explaining,he is a lot easier to understand and more sincere than joey”mumbles”.
He’s also a brilliant comedian. Example: during a town hall in which a female CNN reporter was fiercely denouncing him for calling women ugly, fat, dogs, pigs, and so on, he cut in as she drew breath, “Just Rosie O’Donnell.” The audience roared with laughter and the interviewer could only stand there pouting. I’ve seen him in person three times now, and I absolutely love to listen to him–compelling, warm, real, and insightful. Some don’t like his brashness. I happen to love it!
I long ago recognized that Trump is, as was Ronnie Reagan, a Great Communicator. What’s interesting is that their speaking styles are completely different. Reagan’s speeches were elegant, well-constructed, and themed. He was able to make people “come to him” during his speeches. By contrast, Trump “goes to” his audience with his conversational style of speech. Both ways are very effective in getting the message across, which is the point of public speaking in the first place. Another similarity, both men repeated and repeated and repeated. Why? The same reason that TV commercials are repeated so often. You drill the message home. It’s salesmanship, which both Trump and Reagan had much experience with. Finally, I agree that Trump’s ability to return to his original “jumping off” points in his speeches shows remarkable mental ability, particularly in someone his age. Reagan was and Trump is very, very smart, a fact their enemies know but refuse to admit.
Trump’s strength is his ability to control the narrative, by throwing so much out at a time, that the msm/dnc can’t focus on just One thing. This steals the dnc/msm’s strength, setting the agenda, away from them, and keeps them off balance.
Trump is a Master.
The speech is going to be great! God Bless President Trump and the United States of America!!
America’s President Trump. He’s always right.
His speech pattern reminds me of a preacher I knew. You think he’s lost his thought by going down a “rabbet hole” story but always coming back to his beginning topic.
In Biblical times, the speaking style of telling a story to illustrate a truth was called a parable.
To AMAC Leadership, I assume the comment section is a resource for respectful dialog between members only. Please create a way to track and block those who are NOT AMAC members and wish only to spew their vile rhetoric. Intelligent communication is not possible with agitators who are only making comments on the site to be disruptive.
AMAC members can disagree with each other without all of the nastiness from agitators.
He is truly a genius when it comes to taking the stage. Entertaining, informative and can cut the opponents down with humor and zing. Truly God given talent and intelligence to take America forward and restore our country to greatness. I hope he can help to rescue other countries from the globalist/communist/marxist takeover. God bless Donald Trump.
I love his speaking style. It takes a couple of times of listening to him, and then it clicks, but you have to pay attention!!
That the communist media rails against an American president tells volumes. I’ve said for a few years now. When you read or hear “Trump” in the state-run (communist) media, interpret it to mean “America.”
I think dems know people listen , which drives then berserk, I can’t imagine anyone standing to listen Biden’s prattle or Obama’s never ending finger pointing round and round same old drivel that came straight from the Marxist script. Would do well in Politburo
Thank you for explaining his style of presentation. You are exactly right. I guess that is why I enjoy listening to him. Never a dull moment. Always speaking truth and standing ground for righteousness. I praise God for our President.
Those who sat through his speech, tried to disrupt and make him look bad did just the opposite. All saw how much they hate the American people and anyone who stands for us.
God also saw. This may have been their last chance to repent and turn from their wicked ways. Unfortunately many will not as they have hardened their hearts. They will spend eternity in hell. I pray for their salvation before it is too late. God knows. God will not be mocked!
Joe Biden was such an eloquent speaker.
Genius? The man is profoundly stupid. Raw earth anyone? The weave nonsense disguises his inability to maintain a coherent thought.
This cultish adoration of this monument to mendacity is bewildering.
This is hilarious cover for the meandering gibberish and stupidity that emanates from the mouth of this addled Russian asset. Meanwhile, the traitor is tanking the economy as Putin cracks champagne. Good lord, the above article is embarrassing.
