Trump is so "stupid" ..that he doesn't know what he does and says is.. "stupid".

If he were smarter, Trump would keep his mouth shut and listen more. Trump calling someone "dishonest" defines stupidity..

CNN story...Trump calls Trudeau "Dishonest..and weak"

https://www.cnn.com/2018/06/09/politics/trump-justin-trudeau-g7-communique/index.html

.......This is the 3rd paragraph about Trump's tweet...(you can hit the link above to see the complete article..)


In a second tweet, President Trump said, "PM Justin Trudeau of Canada acted so meek and mild during our @G7 meetings only to give a news conference after I left saying that, 'US Tariffs were kind of insulting' and he 'will not be pushed around.' Very dishonest & weak. Our Tariffs are in response to his of 270% on dairy!"


Trump called the leader of another country.."dishonest"..

Oh my..One of the most dishonest leaders in the world, calls someone else.."dishonest"

Charles Blow - Trump comment: "I want to Hate" NY Times:

This is an very ugly story. At the end Trump says, "I want to hate..." But in the story we see, Trump was hating innocent people. Towards the end of the article, Trump explains his, "hate" But, he does not apologize for getting the "hate" wrong..that is hating innocent people. Men who were proven innocent. Trump never apologizes for publicizing that hate of innocent people.

Long read, but exceptional in defining Trump and his "hate"

The "True Believers" in the U.S.A. number about 24 percent. They approve of Trump.

And they always will.....

http://www.newsweek.com/trump-approval-nixon-low-650634

This article was addressing Trumps low rating last year. At the very end of the article, it states that the very lowest popularity of Nixon was 24 percent. This was at the time he resigned. It was clear that he was going to be impeached, and there was a 15 minute gap in an important audio tape. Someone erased important information on that tape. No one knows..But at that point, Nixon left office humiliated...It seemed clear at the time that Nixon did indeed obstruct justice as well as a whole lot more. So the question is...how could close to 25 percent still support him?

Those people are the "True Believers," and they will never leave. Trump is trying to sell that there a "witch hunt" that he is not being treated "fairly" etc.etc.etc... Who will believe that when it all comes to a conclusion? That 24 percent will believe, and they would believe the earth is flat. They are Trump's true base..Solid, base. 24 percent..??? How could that be?...

It could be because those people are the Nazis, they are the "True Believers." They want the strongman Trump to run things. F**k the rest of the country, and they will not listen to anyone. They believe every word of Fox Noise..It could be because when Trump is charged with crimes, that some of them would be charged. Clearly Trump is a solid racist, and so is that 24 percent.

. I do believe the current number of approval is somewhere around 35 percent. In that crowd there are some who are questioning Mr. Trump. Questioning his honesty and the situation with his wife and family. Yes, maybe another 10 percent will leave the parade. They will turn on him. When? Later...Why? The truth will become clear to them and get through the "hatred fog." They will see that to survive, we need to rid of Mr. Trump.

....But what about that 24 percent?..or 23 or 25?..Somewhere in that range, maybe as low as 22 or 21. They are the "True Believers." They love the authoritarian Mr. Trump. They want a strong man. They couldn't care less about the Constitution. They see Trump as the answer to our problems. Why do I say that? Because they have always been there. Those people don't want to learn about what is the truth. It is their truth that they believe. Nothing will change their minds...no nothing.!!!

...How can I say that?.. I say that because when Nixon resigned, it was so clear that he had broken the law. There was testimony, investigations, books, firings of "special councils (Saturday Night Massacre) discussion and reports of illegal behavior. It was all out there for all to see, yet 24 percent still supported him. Yes, that is why I think that Trump will always have them. I remember asking myself, how could anyone support that fellow who said, "I am not a crook." I had watched the Watergate hearings, and listened and watched the news constantly. I hated tricky Dick, but at that point in the summer of 74, I could not believe he still had any support at all.

...How could that be???..I believe that 20 to 25 percent will never leave Mr. Trump. They believe. They will always believe. They are racist, stupid, ignorant, and untouched by the evil that is Mr. Trump. They are not new and have existed here and elsewhere for ages. They want a strong man who pushes people around. Why? Because these are the people in our society that enjoy pushing people around and that is what they do. These people like Mr. Trump because they are him. That crowd enjoys the hate and the hurt. They believe that Trump is being treated unfairly and they will never change their minds. They will think Trump is the "victim" not the .."enforcer." Their inner hate rings true and clear, just like in Mr. Trump.

I have a question for people who are basketball fans,/and know a lot about the sport.

Short background of this issue...I went to the gym to use the track. The track is about 40 feet above the gym floor..A person walks around the track to get some exercise, while people down on the gym floor are playing basketball. You can watch them as you walk around. I hope you understand what I am describing.
(11 laps to the mile where I go) .......

.... So about an hour ago, I tried to do my walk around the track. On the gym floor there were 2 fellows playing basketball. They were just doing some shooting and dribbling, Moving back and forth and working the ball across the court and taking a few shots. These were the only two on the entire floor. It is a very large gym with a couple of courts, one next to the other..

Here is the point....There was an incredible loud squeaking coming from one of the players. In going to that track and gym, for 20 years, literally several thousand times..(I need to walk around..in the winter this is a great place to walk..safe and warm in northern Illinois where I live) I HAVE NEVER HEARD A SOUND LIKE THAT BEFORE...NEVER..

I reported this to the health club which is down the hall about a hundred feet from the track in a totally different room away from the gym where the noise was. The person I talked to said it was the ..."shoes" and it is common for basketball players...

I have been there before people are playing ball, and have never heard that. I have gone at different times of the day. the gym is open from 5am to 10pm for walkers and runners on the track and people playing ball on the gym floor........I repeat, ............I have never heard a sound like that before...loud horrible squeaking ..coming from one of the players, and the sound reverberated through the entire area. You could hear it everywhere in the gym and the track that was built way above the gym floor...................

My question for you is this....was I being told the truth.. ? Do basketball shoes make such a loud sound. The person I talked to said, yes, they do and if I was to go to a game, I would hear that..I asked was that..."new"? The person said that was very common and has been going on for years... Again..was I being told the truth about "basketball shoes?"......The noise was so bad, that I doubt that could be true. But here I am..asking you who have been to lots of games and know the score...and ...if you got this far...

........THANK YOU...for reading this..I appreciate your knowledge and the time you took to read this..

William Strampel, Larry Nassar's boss was charged with sexually assalting 4 female students.

https://www.cnn.com/2018/06/05/us/william-strampel-msu-court-hearing/index.html


Larry Nassar's former boss, William Strampel is expected in a Michigan court Tuesday, as he faces charges related and unrelated to the disgraced former doctor for the US women's Olympic gymnastics team.

Strampel, the former dean of Michigan State University's College of Osteopathic Medicine, was charged in March with one felony count of misconduct in office and other charges after four female students accused him of using his power to sexually assault, harass and solicit nude photos of them, according to a criminal complaint.

He also faces a misdemeanor count of fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct for his actions as dean from 2002 to 2018 and two misdemeanor charges of willful neglect of duty related to his failure to oversee Nassar properly, according to court documents. He has pleaded not guilty.

The charges against the former dean came as part of Michigan special prosecutor William Forsyth's investigation into how Nassar was able to abuse more than 200 young girls and women over two decades.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

comment: So, Nassar's boss was doing what Nassar was doing. Anyone who complained to Nassar's boss, was in reality, complaining to someone like Nassar. Strampel it seems covered up for Nassar.

About Stuart G

I thought I knew a lot, and I found out... how little I knew about what I know. And how much more there is to learn, if I listen and read what others have to say.
