There's something so joyful in the spontaneity of his interaction with that 8th grader.
It's like he went went back into grade school, and I'm sure he was feeling like he was there again.
Trump couldn't never do that.

What a guy!

Compare Pres. Obama's interaction in this video with Dump's recent interaction with children visiting him in the White House. The best Dump could do was to go off about the war in Iran, and bombing and killing people, and blather on about totally unrelated issues to the reason the kids were there. Makes me miss Pres. Obama so much.
