The reason I ask is because he call a question posed to him during the last republican debate, a non sequitur.
A non sequitur is a statement not a question.

It seems he doesnt, but I doubt most of America knows what it means either, so him using the word will impress those who don't know what it means.

It depends on what the question was. If the question posed a statement in the form of a question, such as: Does this mean that a question CAN be a non sequitur?, then he may have used the term correctly in reference to someone trying to infer a conclusion and get agreement on it by using question form.
We can't just use one definition of a word to indicate lack of understanding of a term. All that does is show our ignorance of multiple meaning words.
