Classically, rhetoric was an advanced form of discourse, along with logic and grammar. It required knowledge of a wide range of subjects.

Trump’s verbiage is about as far from classical rhetoric as one can get as a functionally literate adult.

ThinkProg made up their own definition of “rhetoric” on the spot meaning “an exaggerated style of speaking intended to persuade people” or in plain English, bullshit.
