38. He'll always fixate on some ridiculous tangent.

One of his most frequent tangents is windmills—he seems to really hate windmills.

Another one is the concept of asylum…Someone once talked about immigrants applying for asylum and his brain screwed it up and thought they were talking about mental asylums and that’s why he’ll insist a bunch of immigrants are coming from foreign mental asylums to the US.

These weird little quirks are how you “capture” Trump in all his Trumpishness.
