Writing Emails Inspired by Donald Trump: Bold Move or Bad Idea? (Yes, Really!)
A fascinating study analyzed Donald Trump’s communication style. And the results? Surprising.
It wasn’t what he said, but 𝐡𝐨𝐰 he said it.
Here’s why that matters for your emails. 👇
What Makes His Communication Effective?
✅ Confidence: Bold, clear statements—no hesitation.
✅ Simplicity: Short sentences, simple words, zero jargon.
✅ Energy: A dynamic tone that keeps people engaged.
Most people think professional emails should sound formal and polished—sometimes too stiff.
But what if we borrowed a few lessons from Trump’s bold communication style to write clearer, more impactful emails? (No politics, just practical tips.)
1️⃣ Confidence Wins
Trump’s speeches are bold and direct. In emails, confidence means dropping phrases like:
❌ “I think…”
❌ “Maybe we could…”
And replacing them with:
✅ “I recommend…”
✅ “I’m confident this approach will work.”
People trust clear, assertive language.
2️⃣ Keep It Simple
Trump uses simple words and short sentences. Why? Because simplicity grabs attention.
❌ “I am writing to kindly request your feedback at your earliest convenience.”
✅ “Could you share your feedback by Friday?”
Less fluff. More clarity.
3️⃣ Add Energy
Trump’s dynamic speaking style kept audiences engaged. In emails, that means:
– Varying sentence lengths
– Using strong verbs (“Let’s accelerate the process” vs. “The process will be expedited”)
– Breaking up large blocks of text for easy reading
🚀 Next Time You Write an Email:
Keep it simple. Sound confident. Add a little energy.
That’s how you get people to read—and respond.
