president ignored: Trump's outlandish claims increasingly met with a collective shrug

[yortsed snacilbuper]

More than 3½ years into his presidency, Trump increasingly finds himself minimized and ignored — as many of his more outlandish or false statements are briefly considered and then, just as quickly, dismissed.

The slide into partial irrelevance could make it even more difficult for Trump as he seeks reelection as the nation’s leader amid a pandemic and economic collapse.

International leaders and diplomats, no longer find themselves scrambling over every Trump tweet and utterance, the way they did early in his presidency.

“They understand that a lot of stuff that Trump says does not remotely equate to policy and they’ve had enough experience with that to understand, most of them, when you can just tune it out,” he said.

1. Interesting article. A later paragraph:

Ian Bremmer, president and founder of Eurasia Group, a political consulting firm with a global emphasis, said that when Trump made his claim about the bomb in Lebanon, much of the global community intuitively understood that the president “is inclined to think that of course it must be terrorism because it’s the Middle East and people blow up stuff up there.”

“And so he said it, and it’s stupid, but after almost four years of Trump, we all kind of know that he doesn’t really listen to experts and briefings,” Bremmer said.

They also knew to "tune out" the part where Trump claimed he learned it was "a bomb" from "some generals."

We're all just tuning him out, and that's very reassuring news. If only CNN and MSNBC would do more of that.

2. The world is finally getting it that Trump, is the epicenter of stupidity and lies,

and not overly bright.
