Politics in the English Language; Trump's Demonstration

The forty-fifth president of our nation, Donald Trump is, quite frankly, a ruthless abuser of the English Language.  If George Orwell were to be alive to witness Donald Trump's nonsensical diction, Trump would stand to be a victim of Orwell's blatant criticism.  An exemplification of Trump's misuse of language is when he rhetorically inquired, "Are we living in Nazi Germany?"  He made this insensitive statement after reported allegations of him surfaced.  On a multiplicity of levels, there are various things wrong with this sentence.  Making this statement devalues the severity of the Holocaust and the horrible experiences the Jewish people had to endure during the Nazi regime.  He is using the Holocaust analogically in order to attempt to prove a point, and by doing so, he is severely dramatizing his own situation while simultaneously trivializing what the Jewish people went through.  Through this statement, he is exhibiting a great amount of laziness and an overall lack of education.  His wrongly-used metaphor is a product of him not having a substantial amount of creativity or critical thinking skills.  This is exactly what George Orwell eludes to in his article, "Politics in the English Language": the degradation of our language has many more implications than just a lack of concise articulation.  In this work, he also stated, "But if thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought."  Donald Trump's statement comparing his allegations to the conditions of Nazi Germany has the capability of corrupting the American minds into believing that Donald Trump's situation, specifically in reference to his allegations, is of equal severity, comparatively, to Nazi Germany.  Thus, subconsciously, the American people are now left with the impression that Nazi Germany was not as awful as textbooks have made it out to be, and also,  that being accused of crimes is just as bad as being Jewish in Nazi Germany. Overall, Donald Trump's consistent lack of eloquence devalues the meaning of words.

Analysis: Trump is a master of language
