Alfredo,
Here is a piece that has already started to do some of the basic work of
comparing Trump's speech to other presidents' speeches and also has some
breakdown of the language.

Seems like a useful resource and a beginning. (I share it with all here
b.c. it also seems like a nice article and helps identify the message).
