Trump made up that list to describe the test because he could easily remember them (camera and tv were included, no doubt, because he thinks about cameras and tv all the time). The words in one version of the test are face, velvet, church, daisy, red; and I'm wondering whether he was really able to remember that list.
I see what you did there, though. But why Rowdy Yates? I couldn't even remember who that was.

I was born in January 1941 but I had nothing to do with the country going to war.
