“I want to attack Donald Trump. People are poor. The government should spend less on the military. Trump wants expensive ships. They will cost a lot of money. Trump wants to put his name on the ships. That is bad. The ships cost too much. The government should spend money on food instead. Trump cares about himself. He does not care about hungry children. That is my attack on him. He wants his name on things. I do not like that. People do not want these ships. They want cheaper things. Trump should spend money on what I want, not on expensive ships.”
