The eloquence and breadth of vocabulary demonstrated by most middle schoolers soars in comparison to Trump. On a good day, he seems to be working with (and constrained by) a 7-year-old's word bank. Ignorance and laziness seem to underlie the man's embarrassing bafflement by or outright dismissal of the world that lies beyond the stultifying limits imposed his own lazy incuriosity. And he seems to be getting worse. Much worse.

At Pickett's Charge Pickett charged. Uphill, downhill, all around those beautiful hills. So magnificent. Beautiful, really. Very magnificent and very beautiful. And also very beautiful and magnificent. Which is why they call it ... nobody seems to know this, it's weird ... "Gettysburg." I mean, wow.

At #23, that one's opener kinda writes itself: "There were good people ... on both sides." Hoohaw. From there, absolute hilarity ensues.

LOL. He'd sure have a go at those Lakota, Cheyenne, Arapaho, and - on the other side - Crow names, e.g., Sitting Bull, Two Moon, Sage, White Man Runs Him, etc.

What happened to the old tribal names is quite a story. Some monikers survived intact, albeit frozen in time by being tied not to one's own experience (as was the case previously) but as homage rendered through the name of an ancestor. Others were obliterated (for some): Hin-mah-too-yah-lat-kekt (Thunder Rolling Down the Mountain) morphs into "Joseph." I imagine Native American names and naming practices could prove challenging for genealogists. My own experience involved historical research, where kinship often loomed like a Gordion Knot in attempting to unravel, say, rivalries and alliances. Just adding, that relative of yours ... chances are good "Wild Goose" was a name that conveyed a broader message - and there would have been a story as to why the name was used. Honoring a relative? A hunting or war exploit? Personal characteristic? Good words from Rick Riordan: "Words are the source of all power. And names are more than just a collection of letters. ". Hang onto yours!
