idiot.

Let me ask him 5 basic business questions any hot dog car owner or CEO would know, and he wont know any of them.

He MIGHT know one of them, these would be 5 questions anybody could answer that has been anywhere near business.

But it is more than that, he has NO desire to EVER learn, and he may be incapable of learning, actually.

GOP love him BECAUSE of this.

In 2016, I kept yelling at the reporters (through the tv) to ask him two questions:

1. Name and describe the 3 branches of federal gov't

2. Briefly describe how a bill becomes a law

It would have been great to watch him fumble and fail. Pathetic, but great.

Wouldnt have mattered.

The people who voted for him and will again dont care and the election was stolen on top of it all.

He hates or says he hates who they hate. In the case of all brown people yes, he hates them and they do. As to LGBTQ, he doesnt care but if hating them gets him applause he will not only hate them but destroy them, literally.

I dont know if we can escape these deplorables without a confrontation.

It's not surprising that someone else beat me to it.

He sounds like grammar school student trying to BS his way through a book report he didn't really understand, but he picked up a few new words in the process.

The thing is that no reasonably intelligent person would fall for such bullshit. Are there really people out there that find his bullshit answers acceptable coming from "the most powerful man in the world". This all feels like "The Emperor's New Clothes" and nobody has said "but he isn't wearing anything" yet.

There's similar behavior among fundamentalist religious people, so at least there's a precedent and we probably shouldn't be too surprised.

Because of the great mind of Trump we as a nation have:
1) Found out Puerto Rico is an island surrounded by water
and
2) Found out the word "denuclearization" means getting rid of nukes.

Clearly God put this man in power for such a time as this.
