So Trump thinks he should have been a Doctor

BULLSHIT; 1. This fool would not know what is a blood titer-what it means-if it bit him on the ass. 2. This idiot would not know the key differences in genetic make up of a virus vs bacteria 3. Trump doesn't know what DNA or RNA stands for, much less the importance of each 4. SERIOUSLY, THIS FOOL DOESN'T KNOW WHEN TO SHUT UP AND LISTEN TO THE SCIENTISTS! (Donald, you can't even spell epidemiology; this is the time to let the professionals do the talking)--------------Sorry for the rant--had to spend multiple days with mom in hospital this week--(she's home-doing fine) Watch the professional; listen to the experts; IGNORE THE CHILDLIKE NINCOMPOOP!

3. Trump thinks he should have been whatever sort of expert is trying to explain something.

At various times he's stated that he knows more about their subjects than the doctors, the scientists, the generals, the lawyers, the business people, you name it. He knows more about everything than anybody else.

5. As a health care professional myself, I find his cavalier claim...

...of superior understanding in this area particularly outrageous.

He doesn’t understand jackshit about pretty much ANYTHING, but especially any area of science.

I suppose he is also supremely sure he could land Air Force 1 by himself if the flight crew all became disabled.

His combination of arrogance and ignorance is insufferable.

weeks with my sister during daytime while her daughter was at work--it does take a toll on one's overall well-being.

The guy in WH is un pendejo! [one fucking moron!] Boy did Rex Tillerson get that right.

I was sorting through some online videos and came across an interesting interviewBrian Williams had with John MacWhorter, linguistic expert and professor at Columbia, where he discussed trump' s remedial language skills; lack knowledge about... well, everything, really; add narcissism--we now have one delusional loco pendejo at the helm!

Ay, we need a red alert light to flash every time this man gets in front of a camera and/or near people--like the one Michael Moore has on his pod-cast page, or the poison warning sign [skull and cross bones] steering people from danger. To me the man is toxic, as McWhorter stated, he can't bear to hear or watch him--I feel same. Besides what's the point, he has nada to offer other than hate propganda, racist dog whistles. Listening to him for 5 min is like listening to fox news, rw radio/social media hate programming all day long 24/7--all dangerously toxic.

8. I think you might be recalling Professor McWhorter.

That was a fascinating interview. Long ago, we had a little neighbor who had a better vocabulary at 2 1/2 years of age than Donnie Dipshit has now.

I fondly remember her peddling her tiny tricycle one day, and telling her grandma, “I must pause to rest.”

10. Trump is a narcissistic fool with delusions of grandeur

He would not be able to pass the pre-req or pre-med under grad science classes, let alone get into med school. He has the attention span of a gnat. I mean, its been said that they have to show him pictures for crying out loud, because he doesn't read.

11. Every one of these doctors said, 'How do you know so much about this?

“I like this stuff. I really get it,” Trump boasted to reporters during a tour of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, where he met with actual doctors and scientists who are feverishly scrambling to contain and combat the deadly illness. Citing a “great, super-genius uncle” who taught at MIT, Trump professed that it must run in the family genes.

“People are really surprised I understand this stuff,” he said. “Every one of these doctors said, ‘How do you know so much about this?’ Maybe I have a natural ability.”

Wouldn't it be nice if the rest of us mere mortals could forgo reading and analyzing and simply inherit knowledge?

(And what is wrong with CDC doctors. You can't tell me "every one" of them (or even one of them) said any such thing. Why not say something?

Not that I have any reason to think that any of the others would have been better, I have to admit.
