...who resides at no charge in my head.

Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said Trump had the understanding of “a fifth- or sixth-grader”;

Some others:



White House chief of staff John Kelly called Trump “an idiot” and said he thought the president was “unhinged”;
Both Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and former chief of staff Reince Priebus called Trump an “idiot”;
Former economic adviser Gary Cohn said Trump was “dumb as ”;
Former national security adviser H.R. McMaster said the president was a “dope”;
Former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson in July 2017 called Trump a “moron”.
The late William T. Kelley, who taught Trump at the University of Pennsylvania, said, “Donald Trump was the dumbest goddamn student I ever had”;



Tony Schwartz, the ghostwriter of “The Art of the Deal,” says Trump had “a stunning level of superficial knowledge and plain ignorance.”


He did not know what the Nuclear Triad was.
He asked 3 times why couldn't we just nuke the Hurricanes.
He said during a speech which was recorded that the Patriots during the Revolutionary War turned the war in their favor when they took over the Airports.
He thought Fredrick Douglas was still alive.
He took out a full page ad demanding that the Central Park 5 be executed, when they were found innocent due to DNA he still wanted them executed.
He changed a valid map with a sharpie because he refused to appear to be wrong.
He referred to Barron as Melania"s son.
At another event he said that Melania really wished she could have accompanied him but couldn't make it while she was standing right beside him.

Just as troubling are those who still support Trump, although they are rapidly dwindling.

Huh. Three years of great economic growth and a GDP better than Germany, France, Japan, or the U.K. in 2020. Built a company worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Not bad for a fifth/sixth grade education.

I do hope you realize that by voting for Biden, you have forever given up the opportunity to make fun of any other president's brain-power.

Your economy goes through many more boom and bust situations than ours does, what does that tell you about leadership?

Our economy has outperformed yours significantly over the past ten years as well. What does that tell you YOUR leadership? And besides, the topic was Trump, and that still leaves your pm considerably behind.

It's like I've told you before. You have a habit of making a decent enough point, but then going overboard with it.

My point is this, there is more B/S in your economy than in ours, we didn't need to print money to survive so your economic growth is based on OPM whereas ours is based ion sound fundamentals

Hopefully, we'll never see his likes again, except through the bars of a jail cell. He's been a disaster for his unfortunate followers who still support him, not knowing why except as a point of reference for unfulfilled lives.

It at least has a little more substance than a Biden voter wanting to question the mental faculties of any other president. Trump did have the enormous advantage of knowing what city he was in on any given day.

I'm still laughing about a liberal who voted for Biden wanting to question ANYONE'S mental abilities, or the fact that he plainly can't see the irony in what he has done.

Tom's comment is pretty good. If we could shrink the federal government by 50% or so, it would be in our long term benefit.

Yeah. That and great economic growth, federal judges who support the rule of law, moving our embassy to Jerusalem, at least beginning a southern wall (as opposed to the chaos reigning now), getting out of a crazy treaty with Iran, abandoning the useless Paris accords, and standing up for the rights of unborn children to avoid being mercilessly killed.

He got 'fired ' because a lot of his previous support were turned off by his tweets .That's very true. I'd add that the slanted coverage by the mainstream media was a major factor as well. Reference their refusal to cover the Hunter Biden hard-drive issue.

What the major media did was to ACCURATELY cover Trump for all 4 years. They did this with incontrovertible videos and sound recordings. What you see as slanted, the rest of the world knew to be factual. When you guys keep calling the MSM slanted, you lose more and more credibility as even your own are daily bailing out of the Trump parade.

As to Covid being a contributing factor in Trump's demise, that is true. I believe he still would have lost, but we'll never know.

Hunter-Biden wasn't covered because nobody could get enough facts to follow up on it. It sure looked like a set-up. Now, as of today, it is probable the Russians were behind it.

Replying to @chrislhaye (https://twitter.com/chrislhayes)s


I'm just starting to read through the report, so not clear they're claiming the Hunter Biden laptop specifically "came from the Kremlin" defintively, but it's incredible that it's the same cast of characters.

Deleted the above tweet because the DNI report doesn't mention the laptop. It just has Kilimnick and Derkach running around doing very similar things to what multiple reports say they were up to in 2016, and what Derkach was very clearly doing in 2019 as well.
