I was hoping for something with a little more pizzazz from Mr. Trump. Maybe something like "Annoying Bitch"

Ellipsis (plural ellipses; from the Ancient Greek: ἔλλειψις, élleipsis, "omission" or "falling short") is a series of dots (typically three, such as "…") that usually indicates an intentional omission of a word, sentence, or whole section from a text without altering its original meaning.[1]

Perhaps a phrenological examination of your head would allow us to discern the problem. I'm sure it would be accepted under Democrat scholarship.
