Childspeak

When asked for a comment on one of the most recent exits from his administration, Donald Trump offered this, quoted verbatim but not in full:

"He did a very good job when he was in the White House. And we hope he has a wonderful career and he will have a great career ahead of him. But it was very sad when we heard about it and certainly he's also very sad now."

Small, simple words. Needless, unimaginative repetitions. Who talks like that? Children with a small vocabulary. Idiots. People suffering from dementia. Donald Trump is not a child, so he is either stupid or demented. Or both.
