When I was a child, things didn't always work out well until I recognized the issue. I was insufficiently mature. And then my circle of concern expanded until it encompassed my circle of influence, which is to say that I became sufficiently mature. And then things would work out well.

Before he was elected, Reagan was insufficiently mature. Being elected meant an exponential expansion of his circle of influence. Unfortunately, his circle of concern did not expand, which is to say that he was an immature president.

On November 5, one of two candidates will be elected POTUS. One candidate is sufficiently mature. The other candidate's circle of concern ends at the end of his nose.

Yes, it is more complicated, but in addition to being more complicated, it is also just that simple.
