Trump said something today that hurt me on a personal level.

Talking to a child who said he wanted a pinball machine, Trump told him:

"Pinball, that is great. You know Elton John? He did Pinball Wizard. We’ll have to send you a copy of Pinball Wizard."

I'm a big pinball fan. We may be sick and tired of the song, but EVERYONE knows that song was done by The Who, not Elton John.

Now, Elton John did have a couple of pinball machines about him, "Wizard!" and "Captain Fantastic" in the 1970s, but he wasn't responsible for the song.

I almost wonder if this was comms. There's no way he'd make such a simple mistake. But if so, what could he have meant by that?

This being Donald Trump, he could well make up for this by getting that kid the excellent 1993 pinball machine based on The Who's Tommy, but I doubt that will happen...
