A genius and an insane

The distance between a genius
And insane -- one without focus
(Who’s not so hard to guess),   
Is gauged just by success,
One boards and one’s bumped out of bus.

Note: Trump likes to be known as a genius negotiator. Okay, give him the credit (he seems so desperate). But then comes to my mind Bruce Feuerstein who said: The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success. One boards the bus and the other misses, as this ditty says. In matters of punitive tariff on Indian exports, Trump seems to have missed the bus.
