> These are all specially formulated, and it’s all proprietary, just us. It took us six months just to formulate these plastics. They make bulletproof vests out of it! And it’s incredibly sturdy, and it’s just beautiful! There’s never been anything like that. How do you make something like that? Nobody ever made anything like that! Isn’t that beautiful? I think it’s stunning!

Weird. This reads like something straight out of a Trump speech.



I got the same feeling from that part.


Why is that weird? Both Trump and Jobs have/had huge sway with crowds. It's not surprising to me their speech patterns are similar.


Because Trump usually speaks in huge unpunctuated sentences? When did Steve jobs randomly say "Good genes, good genes" while explaining how good he is at nuclear


Jobs died before he got old enough to ge to that linguistic stage, thanks in part to his peculiar views on health science (another similarity to Trump)


Perhaps because I think that the number of people who idolize both Trump and Jobs is very small compared to those who idolize one or the other.


Well, you wouldn't catch Trump using a word like 'proprietary' (it has five whole syllables!) but yeah, stylistically they weren't a million miles from each other.
