There is a good argument, possibly first put forth by George Orwell in "Politics in the English Language" that aspiring leaders should use plain language. All of the items on that list must be discussed with bluntness an clarity. Latin/Greek neologisms for real issues are unnecessary.

The legacy media has largely done nothing except parrot the propaganda and soften its edges. Using the armed forces against the American people is described as a "crackdown on crime" instead of a treasonous invasion. The president's refusal to follow the law is called "imposing presidential power."
