Trump’s speeches are chaotic, rambling and extremely effective. Aristotle can explain why

There has been a persistent and growing narrative that Donald Trump’s appearances are undisciplined, meandering and damaging his chances in the election.

But with half of the US electorate on his side, his chaotic speaking style is no barrier to success.

Aristotle 's theory of muthos can reveal the inner workings of any narrative even Donald Trump's .

Much of a Trump speech such as his recent Madison Square Garden appearance is aimed at his audience, but also at the establishment.

What Trump himself calls his “weave” is not just an improvised patchwork of remarks, grievances and musings it’s a narrative that combines muthos and episodes to tell and retell the story of a defiant outsider fighting a corrupt system.
