I think what Trump might be saying is that timing is everything. I noted that westerners have problems figuring out the timing of their music which is 5/4 or 5/8th. timing while we generally do 4/4.
There are various types of time signatures, including: simple (such as 3/4 or 4/4), compound (e.g., 9/8 or 12/8), complex (e.g., 5/4 or 7/8), mixed (e.g., 5/8 & 3/8 or 6/8 & 3/4), additive (e.g., 3+2+3/8), fractional (e.g., 2½/4), and irrational meters (e.g., 3/10 or 5/24).
So knowing this, they apply timings that we have not even considered which is part of how they get away with it. The more you know.
