Today's curiosity question:
TFG's fourth-grade level logorrhea has made popular a certain class of phrase often called 'sales talk." It's a pattern I find highly offensive, and one which is now being mirrored by most Republican talking heads.

Is there a psychological term for this pattern? I've looked and cannot find anything. Perhaps presumptuous projection?
