The weird thing is that he thinks his nutso questions are smart.

[Grasswire2]

That's what shows how impoverished his thought process is.

He doesn't consider the stupidity of what he's about to say.

He thinks it's brilliant. He said so.

There's no there, there, in his brain.

It's called "Poverty of Thought" by Johns Hopkins.

1. When I was a kid in the late 60's I had a cold and got some kind of squirt bottle and fired

Listerine up my nose! No it didn't work. That was not a good idea. Maybe not the worst pain I ever had, but not pleasant.

It was supposed to kill virus and I figured it might kill what was in my nose bugging me. It probably did some, but not enough to be worth it.

3. Is it OK that laughed really loud?

That was when you learned the value of medical schools. Can't imagine how much that must have hurt.

[MissB]

2. He couldn't even think of the word "brain" today.

He pointed to his head and that was all he could use to describe his brain.

4. "...I'm a person that has a good...you know what"

[localroger]

5. Well, we've been saying for years

...he's either on serious drugs, or seriously floating off into dementia. Maybe both.

The Emperor does have clothes, although they are ill-fitting and in poor taste. What he lacks is a mind.

6. His childhood is a major key to understanding Trump.

Firstly, he was a vicious little bastard that stoned the next door neighbors child in a play pen. He was reported to have beat up smaller kids and even attempted to throw a cadet out the window because he didn't agree with him. Most importantly, he refused to admit that he was wrong in the face of overwhelming facts he wrong. He would cross as arms and say I'm right and refuse to budge. He was known as being a notorious liar. Just why does anyone wonder that his father packed him up and sent him to a military school in stead of his fate being like similar cases of those who didn't have wealthy parents who ended up in reform schools for unmanageable kids.

His actions as an adult totally reflect a very disturbed person who hasn't changed one bit from the brat that he always was. The only thing that protected him has always been wealth.

16. Can you say vinyl siding salesman and Ponzi scheme?

Only a stable genius could come up with that brilliant idea.

12. "Poverty of thought" sounds like the entire Republican party these days...

... especially from the Tea Party onward. n/t

[ProfessorGAC]

14. Spot On!

That whole disinfectant thing was directed precisely at the experts. He was trying to impress viewers with how smart & creative.
Now, it's lie after lie to deflect from the fact that he's a stupid, stupid man who's in way over his head.

[Odawg]

15. It's called the Dunning-Kruger effect...

Trump, and his followers are too stupid to know they are stupid. They are so stupid they think they are smart...no shit huh...if you dont believe me google it. 🙇?♂️

[captain queeg]

18. Yeah I discovered that term last year. He is the poster boy

So stupid he thinks he’s smart.

[Aussie105]

19. The walls are closing in inside his head.

Compare him in the pre 2016 election days with how he is today, and you will see how far he has devolved intelligence wise since then.

Next, his vocabulary will get even smaller, his thoughts and speech more disjointed, and his reading and listening skills will deteriorate more.

Question is, which part of his brain will shrivel up last? The ego part, or the part that tells his lungs and heart how to operate?

Thing is, this deterioration normally occurs in older relatives in nursing homes, where their every need is taken care of. And we tend not to see that process of deterioration.
Here, we are seeing it in real time, in front of cameras, and on twitter, from the supposed leader of the free world. Sad but revealing at the same time.

I vote for an upper age limit for anyone wanting to be the next president.
