It is simplicity that makes the uneducated more effective than the educated when addressing popular audiences. — Aristotle
Donald trump is the first person I think of whenever I read this quote. His election shocked billions around the world, but this quote from Aristotle does offer some explanation. Trump rarely ever uses sophisticated vocabulary, he speaks in a way that the common man can understand. In a leadership role there is no point alienating a large part of your audience. I find it fascinating how this quote is now more relevant than ever, and I hope you add it to your list of quotes to remember.
