Is it an affectation that they’re trained to deploy? (If so, why?) Or is it just a natural thing that happens in the very specific circumstance of being a politician on the campaign trail, and that’s why no one else seems to do it?

I don’t think I’ve seen it in any other context 🤔

Cheers!

    Only to people who are actually paying attention to a lot of politicians and likely looking exactly this up.

    For the majority of the public? it is just “good public speaking”.

        Yeah.

        Although I recently heard him on Marc Maron’s podcast, and was rather disappointed.

        He’s still far, far more lucid than most other politicians, but he came off as wildly out of touch, which I didn’t recall him being 10 years ago.

        Oh well, that’s the match of time for you.

          Your statement could be true about anything depending on the perspective so I wasn’t sure what point you were trying to make
