This is an incredible video, and it needs to be seen by everyone. When you finish watching this, you say to yourself : "What an incredibly stupid asshole. He thinks he knows everything, but he really knows nothing"

He is a salesman and he is just trying to sell himself. At heart, he knows he is a loser and a dope. He probably heard it throughout his childhood from his teachers and parents. So he's spent his entire adult life trying to prove they were wrong, but he knows what he really is.

When it really dawns on a person the immensity of what they don't know, that's the first true harbinger of one's intelligence emerging and it is very humbling, to say the least. However, the door to the acquisition of knowledge and even glimmers of true wisdom swing open at that point.

What Trump is really indicating is that he doesn't even know how much he doesn't really know and he thereby demonstrates his true ignorance and incapacity. It is bad enough when that affliction is demonstrated by ordinary folks, but it is extremely dangerous in the context of holding a high office and having access to weapons of mass destruction.

There is a flaw in this system whereby a demagogue/dictator type of person can capture the office by popularity and votes, but without having to take a single test to demonstrate qualifications for the job. You get vetted more for Walmart positions than for applying to be President and this shyster took full advantage of that. If he had to take a battery of evaluations, there would be no Trump debacle.

So, what is with that? It seems to me to be a glaring omission and a potentially fatal flaw and Trump is demonstrating it right now.

Excuse me, I am going to go demand a position as a Dean at a local college, because...qualifications? Qualifications? We don't seem to need no stinkin' qualifications!

You spend the first twenty years of your life learning everything there is to know. Then you spend the rest of your life realizing how much you don't know.
