In this episode I explain how adverbs are used as Intensifiers to convince people of something or Minimizers to downplay their actions. We then poke a little fun at President Trump and how he uses Intensifiers to troll people. We rap it up with a criminal statement about a shaken baby case where the babysitter uses Intensifiers and Minimizers. Enjoy!
