That's exactly what this is. On and on, lame 8th grader who's reading homework someone else did.

Retired admiral cuts Trumps 4th of July speech down to size: All the depth of an 8th grade history lesson
https://www.rawstory.com/2019/07/it-was-an-8th-grade-history-lesson-retired-rear-admiral-says-of-trumps-speech/
The rudimentary and basic speech from President Donald Trump didnt get high marks from the CNN audience. The political panel celebrated that Trump didnt mess up and he didnt meander into a disastrous political rant. The expectations were extremely low and he managed to barely step over the low bar, the commentators noted.
But it was retired Rear Admiral John Kirby who said that the speech was like an 8th-grade history lesson.
Kirby said that he was hopeful it wasnt going to be overly militaristic, but it certainly was.
Other politicians before Trump have, you know, liked to sort of dine off the imagery of the military, said CNNs Ryan Lizza. In our country right now, most institutions are suffering from low popularity, the media, politicians. The military is one of the institutions that remains popular. Trump, who has never served, is like a lot of politicians who have never served and like the sort of glow of this popular institution.
