I wonder if the writer subscribes to the Oxford English Dictionary's 
"word of the day" as "bloviate" was the word a couple of days ago. That 
said, I am not sure it is applied correctly in regard to Mr Trump.  From 
what I have read some of his pronouncements are, to put it mildly, 
unfortunate but is he really verbose?  Does he use lots of words to 
impress - the very opposite of the short comment which is memorable and 
beloved of reporters for that reason?
