Moments ago, my 10-year-old daughter said to her brother who was painting something, "A second coat will suffice."  She's so well spoken already and amazes me.

Then I open the Globe pages to read that Trump has grunted a dumb an inaccurate insult as part of his ongoing public dialogue with his country's judiciary: "this so-called judge."  

Witless. Inaccurate. Disrespectful. Ugly. Angry. Like something you'd hear in a ringside WWF interview. 

Please don't tell me that he's a man of action, not words like Obama. Trump's policy is as blunt, ill-conceived, and dozy as his Twitter-wit, which is why his colleagues keep qualifying or contradicting what he says and why judges are smacking down his nonsense. This supposedly great dealmaker and expert manager couldn't even roll out an executive order/legal policy without blowing it completely even with all the expert council a president can call upon.

This fine, discriminating mind is the best America could come up with?
