He's so lazy, he probably didn't bother looking at it on the flight over.

Translation: Trump didn't know that, which in his world means that nobody (or in this instance, the grudging concession that it's only "a lot of people&quot knows it. How could anyone possibly know something that Donald Trump doesn't know?

So many of the same people who were grrrr mad! during the Obama administration that Obama was acting like some kind of anointed emperor messiah, have absolutely no problem with Trump's arrogance. But we know it's not because of racism, because nothing is ever about race in these here United States of America.

Trump should get a job teaching history after he's impeached.

Rumors are, all those agencies are full of career individuals and

I was watching the speech, it goes like he just learned all of these things, and then states.

A lot of people don't know that.

Now, Donald a lot of people know those things, you didn't

I mean, I think we we taught about him and the Revolutionary War in third grade.

Let's review:

He doesn't know history
He doesn't know how our government works
He doesn't even know how to be a good business person.
