Trump's clueless about press releases he sends out? Who's the President? (VIDEO)

Remember the last time we had an incurious president who allowed others to run the presidency? We ended up in a war. This little incident as Trump answered a reporter's question might be probative.

Watching our next President respond to the reporter's question seemed inauspicious, but it does not portend a responsible administration based on his 'cabinet.'

attack on Christians specifically, since such a statement seems to ignore victims who might not be Christian and to be religiously incendiary. Trump was surprised, because he had never even heard about the press release that went out over his name! (I am guessing Kelleyanne Conway was the busy little elf who wrote it.)

(New York, NY) — “Our hearts and prayers are with the loved ones of the victims of today’s horrifying terror attack in Berlin. Innocent civilians were murdered in the streets as they prepared to celebrate the Christmas holiday. ISIS and other Islamist terrorists continually slaughter Christians in their communities and places of worship as part of their global jihad. These terrorists and their regional and worldwide networks must be eradicated from the face of the earth, a mission we will carry out with all freedom-loving partners.”


“Who said that?” a clueless Trump asked. “When was that said?”

“I believe you said it in a press release….,” the reporter responded.

Dangerfield had a long, successful career as a comedian and actor. If you think he was a moron, I invite you to share your IMDB profile. Dangerfield's bit was "I don't get no respect". One would be a fool to confuse his act with real life.

He wasn't a saint, but he was not the moron that you claim him to be. Can you claim a successful career in Hollywood and Vegas?
