Donald Trump goes soprano. Not like the television series, but in his tone of voice.
Do-Re-Me-Fa-So-La-Ti-Do!
Mr.Trump doesn't exactly speak in a soprano singer's tone, oh no. But whenever Trump is telling a lie (a huge one to support his dubious position), he reaches for the elevated tone through his sinuses which is supposed to smack of: I'm an honest, knowledgeable, and profound-thinking guy. That tone, he believes, can make him sound convincing and sell his story.
Whenever you may hear Trump's soprano tone, it's a sure bet he's making up a story or is guilty. You betcha!
He also will include a mirage of witnesses supporting his position by adding: Lots of people have said the same thing. Or, Many generals are telling me this. And, Lots of psychiatrists keep telling me she's crazy.
"Name one?"
Like a warning shot, his voice drops an octave. "All of them.""
So flipping channels on Sunday morning, there was Donald J. on a news program insisting (in his soprano tone) that the FBI will have to prove that classified material was actually in those manila folders marked Classified Material found at Mar-A-Lago.
"They could have all been empty."
Give it up? You're further embarrassing yourself if that's possible. Shifting your voice up to a Julie Andrews height will not work.
The newscaster asked, "Who is saying that about the manila folders?"
"Lots and lots of people are saying the same thing."
Oh, Christ!
