Hav
(5,969 posts)I'm pretty confident that even GWB wouldn't have been that dumb. He made many blunders and has alcohol abuse as an excuse but this is pure ignorance and Trump's ego prevents him from just keeping his mouth shut. It's kind of scary to think about what Repubs are going to unleash next.

(58,785 posts)Trump wants to hog all the credit for that "good thing," of course, but he can't have it. McConnell's probably a sociopath, but he's not a loon and has his own full share.

(28,340 posts)the mangled garbage he sputters forth each day.
Staffer: "Well your Excellence, there are many ways of counting this, so there's, like, just counting, you know - one, two, three, four - and we're totally absolutely just number one in that sir . . . and then there's per capita. That's where, well, it's like odds you know? One out of a thousand or ten thousand or a hundred thousand or whatever. There's lots of ways to frame it and some of our states like New York, Rhode Island, New Mexico - they have relatively good per capita testing so we should just direct our focus there I think."
Trump: "So there's lots of ways to do the per capita?"
Staffer: "Well Majesty, we have many different rates of per capita, yes."
Trump: "I figured they were just out to get me. I knew that's what it was. 'Hate Trump.' 'Trump is dumb' when actually I know a lot about this stuff, more than most people I can tell you that."
Staffer: ". . . . . . yes Sir."

Those are both practically prayer mantras for the MAGA Cult by now, together with "He was actually right," and "He was being sarcastic."
If you achieve high cult-status level, you can even apply all four mantras to the same statement!

(5,810 posts)Kitchen sponge, it is kinda hard to retain anything you learn. So it is a wasted effort to try to bring tRump up to speed on anything. Anything.
Let that sink in. He knows nothing, doesnt really care to try to learn but when staffers attempt to bring just a little knowledge into his thinking, he cant remember a thing they told him.
