<p>Has anyone noticed that trump speaks with some features of the <a href="/tags/iowan/" rel="tag">#Iowan</a> accent? I don't think it's the accent exactly, more the cadence or enunciation maybe? I noticed this when listening to interviewees at the Iowa state fair. </p><p>I then discovered that the Iowan accent is considered the most friendly and wondered if he'd adopted this way of speaking purposefully. Fake like his tan, hair, height, weight etc.</p><p>Would love to get some opinions.</p><p><a href="/tags/linguistics/" rel="tag">#Linguistics</a> <a href="/tags/iowa/" rel="tag">#Iowa</a> <a href="/tags/accent/" rel="tag">#accent</a> <a href="/tags/accents/" rel="tag">#accents</a> <a href="/tags/trump/" rel="tag">#trump</a> <a href="/tags/uspol/" rel="tag">#uspol</a></p>
