Related: About this forumHuckabee on Fox touting some dangerous shit right now
Essentially, says Trump will be just fine as President, because he won't have twitter and he'll have advisors. This is the most dangerous falsehood that a person can propogate, because we all saw with W how dangerous it can be when the President lacks foundational knowledge about the issues.
It's fucking common sense: if you don't understand the basics of an issue, how do you discern which of your advisors is giving the right advice? People who just blindly say, "Oh yeah, he'll have a good cabinet" really should contemplate the fact that the decision-maker must still have a thorough understanding of the issues.

(44,131 posts)I understand your sensitivity to this, as we were bombarded in GD: P by Dem-hating trolls who could not stop posting Fox and Breitbart. However, those posts were never critical of those sources. This post is very critical

(14,855 posts)... Trump's candidacy with this BS because there's been several high-level people coming out to question Trump's aptitude and judgment recently.
Huckabee might even think he's got a shot at joining Trump's cabinet.

(42,568 posts)VP Pence would be doing all the hard work, and President Donald would spend all day fighting with people on Twitter.
I still haven't heard that any journalist has asked Trump what would happen to all his business interests if he were elected. Yes, everyone before him has put their investments into a blind trust, but I don't see Donald doing that voluntarily or even giving up the reins of his company.

(5,049 posts)Only on Fox could he ever be considered an "expert" on anything. The fact that he needs to appear to calm the waters of the reich wing echo chamber is telling.
There is no way a Donald Trump presidency is anything but a complete disaster for America. If anyone thinks he can be "managed" they should take a look at his campaign and think again.

(9,002 posts)sure Bush is dumb, but he's going to surround himself with smart people.
Look how that turned out.
