Donald Trump, the sender, sent a message to Billy Bush, the receiver, but Trump unknowingly sent a message out that would be heard by all of America as well. Putting my distaste for Trump aside, I must admit this was a miscommunication. Trump only intended for the receiver to be Bush, maybe another person in the RV, but he had never intended for as many people to hear that did. For a similar, less racy scenario, imagine a child is hiding around the corner while their parents discuss what they will give to their kid for their birthday. The parents only intended to communicate with each other, the sender and the receiver, but the child was an unintended receiver. Therefore, this family has experienced miscommunication. Miscommunication should still be considered a form of communication, as the sender, receiver, and message are all
