"During last year's presidential campaign, Donald Trump coined a term for his pinballing speaking style-"the weave." This was on display Tuesday in Pennsylvania, in remarks that included, but were not limited to, the topics of tariffs, U.S. Steel, fracking, wind turbines, electric-vehicle mandates, immigration, crime, gender policies, Obamacare, the Fed, his election victories, rare-earth negotiations, a D.C. terror attack, and "the lips that don't stop" of White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt."
"The diffuse pattern is Trump's signature. His fans have always loved it when he lights up all the bumpers; the chaos feels authentic, a rebellion against teleprompter politicians. This was true in Pennsylvania. The problem is, now that the engine of the U.S. economy is smoking, the American people are looking for a technician, not an improv comic. And Trump's sprawling delivery doesn't just distract from his economic message; it embodies the criticism he's trying to rebut-that he isn't focused"
Donald Trump coined a term, 'the weave,' for a pinballing speaking style and used it in a Pennsylvania speech covering a wide range of topics. The chaotic delivery has long appealed to his base as authentic and anti-teleprompter. As economic strain grows, voters seek focused problem-solving rather than sprawling rhetoric. Polls show nearly half of voters cite cost of living as the worst they can remember and Trump's economic approval has fallen to 31 percent. A majority believe his policies are raising food and grocery prices. Past presidents responded to economic discontent with concentrated legislative action.
