[EL] "This Would Make a Great Final Exam Question on Express Advocacy"

[Edward Still]

Donald Trump uses a similar technique -- called paralipsis.

Paralipsis is from the Greek word *paraleipein* that means to omit or to
leave something on one side. It is defined as a rhetorical device in which
an idea is deliberately suggested through a brief treatment of a subject,
while most of the significant points are omitted. It is explained through
the use of this device that some points are too obvious to mention. Also,
paralipsis is a way of emphasizing a subject by apparently passing over it.
