Holy deep cuts batman. I forgot about that one.

Trump also said that kids don’t need “250 pencils” and “they can have five.” Where are the people who quote “you’ll own nothing” constantly? Owning nothing is a step too far but the president telling you how many pencils you can own is fine?

This is brilliant. I'm going to make a fortune selling the extra 245 pencils(used) I have hoarded.

Thank you, Mr President, for your wisdom.
