One of the long-running “complaints” the tea-baggers had about President Obama (other than the primary complaint, his race) was that he talked like an “elitist”. Apparently “elitist”, in their world, was anyone with more than a high school education. Trump’s grade-school level writing and even lower level speaking skills appeal to them — he’s a “man of the people” despite never having worked a day in his life and having his fortune handed to him by his daddy.

Don’t take the wrong message: poor vocabulary, horrible speaking skills, not having an advanced education do not individually or together automatically tell you someone isn’t a good person. Trump, and his followers, added the “shitty person all around” attributes on their own.

That is an insult to fifth graders.

I wonder what his maths is like – troubled I would think.

Has anybody challenged him to a chess match?

Probably too much to expect that, all those weird pieces with their different moves much more taxing than a game of draughts (checkers in the US).
