What do you mean? He has a rabid fan base who loves him because he writes like he talks!

It clearly works for him - I hate how he talks, but he seems to be an effective communicator if you only judge by results. Sadly.

"write like you talk" is advice for type-1 thinkers.

presumably also advice from them.

Maybe more an effective rhetorician than communicator. I suppose his communication does match the clarity of thought though... it's just that the thoughts are so jumbled he says 3 things that contradict each other in the same breath.

Looking at Iran situation, absolutely not, results of Trumps communications are pure disaster. Looking at tariffs situation, absolutely not, results of Trumps communications are pure disaster. His communication is masterpiece of ineffective communication.

On the plus side, he is emotionally pleasing to certain kind of people and he is effective in bullying and humiliating close ones. If those are the goal, yes he is effective. But, he cant do much else.
