Odd’s a messy inventor w/ #ADHD quirks—hyper focused yet scatter-brained—who can turn junk into wondrous thunkamajigs. When others dismiss his offbeat creations, he must find the courage to embrace his uniqueness, and prove that being a little “odd” is a beautiful thing.

His foreign policy is shaping up to pretty much be the international politics of a r@pist.
In the last few days, he's been threatening to invade Mexico and take over Panama and Greenland, and the threats will continue because he is a warhawk. I don't think his supporters can even deny it.
