Think about the term "Trump getting an intelligence briefing" for a second.

[guillaumeb]

And then think about the words Trump and intelligence in a sentence without the word lacks.

My guess is that no one at DU can really do that.

That Trump lacks even average intelligence is easy to see. No matter the subject, he demonstrates his ignorance every time that he opens his mouth.


Why do Trump voters not see this? Well, it is difficult to see anything when that MAGA hat is down covering the eyes.

1. Apparently he's so dumb they have to provide pictures for much of the briefing.

Kind of "Show and Tell, Osama Style." If we get out of this alive it will be a miracle.

[guillaumeb]

2. "He's so dumb that..." would be a great title for a post.

And the fact that he will not try to read anything if his name is not in the sentence is so sad.

18. Maybe they should resort to hand puppets.

[5X]

3. There is no intelligence there to brief. n/t

[guillaumeb]

4. Would it be a brief brief? eom

[marylandblue]

5. People see what they want to see

Con artists know this and take advantage of it.

[guillaumeb]

7. The problem for Trump is that his attempted con is open for all to see.

And his incredibly foolish attempts at actually speaking about anything of substance is striking.

If there was a Novel Prize for stupidity there would ne no contest.

[marylandblue]

10. It's worked for him his entire life.

He counts on people either falling for it or underestimating him. He is ignorant and narcissistic, but not stupid.

[guillaumeb]

12. Crafty perhaps.

But he depends on people wanting to believe him.

[unblock]

6. Emphasis on "brief"

[guillaumeb]

8. True.

The attention span of a mayfly by all accounts.

🤔 😏 😆😂🤣

Guillaume, my dear buddy,

How you be?

Bon soir.

Yours truly,

Bonne Bon Bon

[Not watching the 'bowl'. Guess what I call it. 😇 It's gonna be on in the background. Every recent year it's not everything it's made out to be. Husband gets disinterested and shuts it off b4 it ends. I do not care for it one flaming bit.]

[guillaumeb]

11. Yes, the Trump/intelligence nexus.

I will be watching the game, unless a book calls to me.


I am reading "Will the circle be unbroken", by Studs Terkel. It is about death, and faith. Very interesting.

[sprinkleeninow]

13. Husband has books on sports. What was Studs popularity?

[guillaumeb]

14. He collected personal stories.

A friend just gave me the book to read. The library has his books.

[sprinkleeninow]

16. Okay. That's ringing one of my bells. 🔔

[sprinkleeninow]

15. So sad. A door knob has far more intelligence.

[4TheArts]

17. I take that phrase two ways.

Obviously with 45 "intelligence briefing" belches out a not very subtle oxymoron.
But also, every single time I hear of the turd being even present at an intelligence briefing, I worry, very seriously, every time about what the hell he turns around and tells to the wrong people. As an established traitor, I have to assume he is frequently employing the full bag of treasonous tools.

[guillaumeb]

19. Welcome to DU.

I share your concerns. Excellent observations.

[4TheArts]

20. Thanks GuillaumeB

I note that avatar.
In my community I'm known as the bad guitarist.

21. Practice makes better.

In theory.
