11. Is that a poem written by an elementary school student?

Good for them. It leaves me thinking of isolation. Being insulated and hidden from society. Feeling tucked away and unwelcome into the fold. Possibly a very young LGBQT student letting his or her feelings out through words. Powerful.

I love the art of poetry.

21. Here's why Trump sounds like a child when explaining such matters:

This might seem like a minor observation but I think it affords a valuable insight into Trump's process of thought and decision.

"You can't drive there. Puerto Rico is in the ocean. A big ocean. It's called the Atlantic."

That's a paraphrase, but it corresponds to the text of many of Trump's explanations to the camera whether the issue is health care or tax overhaul or even many smaller issues of even moderate complexity.

The reason Trump talks like a child when explaining policy is because that's how his advisors have to explain it to him.

That tells us something very important about his relationship to aides and advisors as well as about their assessment of him.

22. He looked it up in his copy of

How to Be Really Bad at Making Excuses for Your Inaction.

24. Trump is a functional illiterate

The only part of his brain that works is the animal part.

The reptile brain, the hindbrain, the part with no higher function than to breathe, look for the weak and sick, separate them from the herd and move in for the kill.

6th grade level at best is my guess.
