Incontrovertible Evidence that Trump is an Idiot

Post by JohnStOnge »

He thought he could schmooze Bob Woodward into writing a positive book about him. What a dumbass.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

Woodward was playing checkers and Trump was playing 4D chess.

I think JOS worded it wrong. Trump is not an idiot.
But I think it is evidence that his EGO is bigger than brain.

A little different take.

Truthfully I generally stay out of politics anymore. Most people's ability to actually discuss politics in any reasonable form has disappeared ( I guess understandably so to some extent). I am one of those that didn't vote for Trump, can't see myself voting for Trump but actually agree with a lot of what has happened under his administration ( certainly not everything ). With the realization that any one that runs for president has an ego that is taller than the Redwoods, Trump beats them all by a moon shot.

I saw a cartoon once, may have been on this site where a couple was laying in bed watching the democratic debate with all the candidates shouting "FREE! FREE! FREE!" and then the flipped over and watched Trump shouting "ME! ME! ME!"

Unfortunately that largely sums up just how stupid our politics have become.

Right. This is an Occam's Razor situation. Trump is an idiot.

You should rethink your Trump idiot strategy. The guy is tearing a new one as President, and in a MAGA way.

How's it look that an idiot us running circles around your precious Dem party?

I didn’t vote for him nor did I panic at his election. I hoped for the best. But after 5 years of him at the forefront, the evidence of his idiocy is overwhelming.

I think he’s a 3rd grade level bully-jujitsu master who leveraged his wealth to get where he’s at. That doesn’t take smarts that just takes balls and a willingness to not give a fuck about what other people want or think.

He's got his turned up to an 11.

What did Congress do about the wall? Trump bypassed everyone to get that shit done. Over and over again. He delivers more often than Karl Malone.

OK I will admit I probably dumbed down the term idiotic. I use the term brilliant idiot often ( usually in relation to Paul Krugman, but their are others). I don't think doing or saying idiotic things is an necessarily aspect of low intelligence. I think it is in Paul Krugman's case simply believing you are smarter than everyone else and then can't see that you put your biases above logic and reason. In Trump's case, I think his ego is so yuuuugge, that he can't see past his self perceived greatness.

Ah. I can dig that in general and Krugman is a good example. Can we then agree that Trump is not only a “very stable genius” but a truly brilliant idiot? :mrgreen:

IF you mean brilliant at being an idiot, then yes ;)
