Proof that Trump's an Idiot

[Audacious]

Thank you for making that distinction.

Saying it is perfectly safe to bunch vaccines into a tight time schedule ... says nothing about it being more effective to do so which is what you claimed earlier.

All it means is that it is more convenient to deliver the vaccines at once ... rather than spacing them out.

The earlier a vaccine is delivered, the earlier is delivers immunity. Of course it's more effective.

Playing the buffoon worked for Bush43. And for 8 years.


Maybe Trump is the next President.
Then what?

Imagine that for a moment. Who would be his VP?

I think he's playing the clown so as to show just how gullible the GOP side is, and how guaranteed the Hillary win is in 2016.
Look at the candidates. How many are really qualified and would give a great profile for the leader of the free world?

Christie? God help us.
Carson? Senator maybe. Not President.
Bush? There's a history maker for you.
Rubio?

They're all running and making a fortune for their trouble. Throw your hat in. Make money, make a name for yourself in history as having run, insure you'll get re-elected if you're currently in office.

Which explains why most vaccinations are delivered to babies. NOT.

That guy looks like he scares little children. His opening comment in the last debate was awful.

It is rare for fame or power not to corrupt. That is why the Founding Fathers should have put limits on how much time you can be in politics, in any office. They just never foresaw the rise of the professional politician who does nothing else their whole life.

Back in their day, being in office was a pain in the okole and generally a loss of income. Nobody got rich being in public office--these days, they all do. If they weren't wealthy going in, they're wealthy coming out.

Could the guy who's dominating Republican polls (and people who lean Republican approve of by two-to-one) be dumber than a sack of bricks? I think so!

• After Obama won the last election, he called it a "sham" and demanded a "march on Washington" to cancel it.

• He said "The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing less competitive." Even if global warming isn't real, the idea that China somehow conned almost every climate scientist in the world into accepting it, without even one of them stepping forward and telling us about it, is just crazy.
  
  
• He called America "the most highly taxed nation in the world," when people in Denmark (the happiest country in the world, followed by a bunch of other socialist countries) are taxed twice as much as Americans, because we have lower taxes than almost every other first world country. If he wants to be President, he should know something about America in comparison to other countries. Maybe he should've gotten some political experience before running for President!
  
  
• On August 23rd, 2012 (and many other times), he blamed the increase of autism diagnoses (crucially, actual cases might not've increased!) on too many vaccines. He is utterly wrong, and delaying vaccines is a terrible idea. He seems to know the scientific consensus is completely against him, yet he still rejects it—despite not being a scientist—because he thinks all their studies are "fudged."
  
  
• He said on July 9th of this year that he still doesn't know where Obama was born because "I don't know why he wouldn't release his records"—even though Obama released his long-form birth certificate in 2011! Trump™ must know that, since he gave himself credit for it at the time, after launching a very public "investigation" into Obama's birth. He even pubicly said he would donate $5 million to charity if Obama's birth certificate was ever released (which is strange since he doesn't accept it as evidence). Apparently his ”investigation“ never turned up the fact that multiple Hawaiin newspapers announced his birth in 1961. (Crucially, even if Obama was born in Kenya like Trump seems to think, he would still be a natural-born citizen because his mom was an American—something Trump should know by now.)

85% of Republicans say they would support Trump if he got the Republican nomination. I respect Republicans, and I know a lot of them don't know some of the information I just posted (like I didn't before a few days ago), but... really? What are they thinking—"anyone but a Democrat"? Would they vote for a dead cat over Hillary?

NOTE: I'm saying Trump is stupid about political issues. Maybe he's a genius about running casinos or something; that doesn't make him smart at everything else. Arthur Conan Doyle was a brilliant writer (or so I've heard), but he also thought fairies were real and Harry Houdini had magic powers. Plenty of people are smart at one thing and idiotic when it comes to another.

A better description would be an off the charts narcissist.

All of what you mention, are telltale signs of narcissist behaviors, that are off the bell curve.

He looks like Herman Munster's grandfather. But what I want to know is that if the IRS was abolished, how would the government fund itself?

Find us a candidate for President who is immune from this criticism, and I'll give him or her serious consideration.

Let's see....Sanders, no. Clinton, no. Larry whatsizname, no. Biden, definitely not. And then we have the Republican field that includes quite a few who have zero chance of being nominated.

Everyone on this planet displays a certain level of narcissist behavior, just as we all use denial as a defense mechanism at times.

Where the difference comes in, is how often and to what degree certain people display the behavior.

I believe Trump to be a serial narcissist, but that is just my opinion.

I understand. And Obama is certainly similar. But the reservation I have about that judgment in Trump's case is that he actually has proven ability and a track record in different ventures that's hard to minimize. Alexander the Great was no doubt a narcissist, but he did conquer the world, so....

Society has advanced a bit since the time of Alexander the Great.

I don't think a serial narcissist would make a good president in today's world, but that's just me.

So what? We were talking about narcissistic leaders.

Let me give you an analogy, in regards to leadership techniques and how they lose effectiveness as societies change.

Decades ago, many coaches in professional sports used to use as one of their main techniques; fear and intimidation. Today, these strategies don't work so well and if employed, they lose complete respect from their players and they have had to adapt.

I don't think a serial narcissist would be a good president or leader in today's world and that is my opinion.

If you can't discredit the fact, discredit the source. Take away the opinion, and the facts remain that trump is anything but stupid.

Oh, I don't know about that. Here are some facts:

If Donald had invested is inheritance in the stock market, and had average returns, he would be just as wealthy today. So as a businessman, he is at best average.

But he made a lot of his money by a) sucking millions and millions from business ventures, then declaring bankruptcy to avoid paying the people who had earned the money, legally stealing, and b) by selling his name which is nothing to do with business, but celebrity, by being a buffoon.

So in reality he did below average as a businessmen. Donald hasn't made his money through intelligence and smarts, the facts are he has made his money through deceit and buffoonery. I would say that makes him disgusting and stupid, but maybe you disagree.

Question. At what age did Donald Trump' father pass away?

LOL, really, none of the learned commenters in this thread dare to venture a guess at the age of Donald Trump's father Fred Trump? How about the date of death then? I mean, it's relevant right ... since Donald supposedly inherited a fortune ... and Forbes would have you believe that Donald would have done better by simply investing in the stock market.

OK. Easier question then. How many siblings did Donald have, you know, to split daddy's wealth among?


P.S. The information is not at all hard to find. Hint: Try Wikipedia for Fred Trump. Just sayin ...
