Press briefings, rallies, and interviews frequently included:
Direct language
Repetition for emphasis
Personal commentary
Spontaneous reactions to questions

Clarity: The message is easy to understand
Shock value: It challenges expectations
Shareability: It can be clipped into short videos or quotes
