and T himself has so little knowledge of geography, history, and culture (not to mention current events) that he can only be considered willfully ignorant. Liberal arts and the social sciences are the most underfunded parts of most colleges and universities.

with post grad degrees at places like Harvard and GWU, to name just a couple. Either they cultivate what they think is the "common touch," modeling their speech on the two barflies in "Cheers," or they're the type who fudged and cheated their way through school and haven't cracked a book in years. I suspect it's a combination of the two.

Their biggest problem right now isn't the fact that they sound as dumb as must Trump voters, it's that they still think they can advise and/or control Trump. They can't.
