For a man
who craves attention
at all times
no matter the cost
and especially if there is a cost
to what could loosely be called
a reputation
it may be notable
that Donald Trump
has only just begun airing
general election television ads.
Maybe soon
we'll finally get to see the man
being completely comfortable
in his own skin.
In this controlled environment
the candidate
should have no problem
with demonstrating his self-declared "single greatest strength"
of "temperament."
(Just as long
as any speaking parts
are removed before airing.)
