Prominent examples include the almost hypnotic stress patterns, the frequent reduplication, and deliberate garbling of sentences to ensure the key point always comes right at the end.

Donald Trump (ab)uses some very similar methods - read a Trump speech from when he was in his prime and compare it with a Jobs speech, and it can be surprisingly hard to tell the two apart.
