Dangerously Insufficiently Intelligent To Be President

President Trump – whose intellect is handicapped by malignant narcissism – lacks the intelligence to understand many of the basic, most critical principles and behavior of our economy, political system, science and technology, culture and international relationships.  Making matters worse, he surrounds himself with advisors who are unable or unwilling to explain the truth that he needs to know and who support his belief that he is the smartest person in the room which he is not.

Explaining the Election of Donald J. Trump

Hardly a day has gone by since Donald Trump was first elected when I haven’t heard some pundit explaining why.  How is it possible that a majority of American voters have elected an ethically challenged person suffering, according to experts, from “malignant narcissism” – hence his proclivity for authoritarianism and complete disregard for law and order – a person as dumb as he is nuts, President?

Majorie? Calling Majorie Taylor Greene.

Good morning, everybody.

Will somebody please ask Speaker of the House Mike Johnson why he needs a continuing resolution in the first place? It’s because the House he pretends to run can’t produce a budget when it’s due! If he was a corporate CFO and failed this badly to do his job, they’d fire his tush the hell out of there.

The Republicans aren’t even willing to talk.

Will somebody please suggest to the Democratic leadership in Congress that they hold – and widely publicize! – open, televised meetings to discuss a compromise with their Republican counterparts. If the Republicans refuse to come, the Democrats can hold the meeting(s) without them and let the failure of Republicans to attend be the headline of the day.

Democrats should be well-prepared with charts and videos to make their arguments.

Good news.  President Trump has no idea what he’s doing.

Trump has raised tariffs on Chinese goods, again, by 100%.  He’s doubling the cost of imports from China – already higher by virtue of earlier tariffs – because he feels the need to punish the Chinese, to prove he’s more powerful than their leader.  Why he’s upset isn’t important and doesn’t have to make any sense.  Suffice it to say that our President a petulant creature with the emotional maturity of four year old.  …A four year old who is Commander-in-Chief of our military with the keys to our nuclear arsenal.

Good deal for Hamas, so far.

For the record, I want the Gaza war to be over as soon as possible.  After the October 7 attack, Israel had every right to go to war against Hamas, but not the people of Gaza, the vast majority of which are innocents.  Israel has killed over 67,000 Palestinians in its effort to eliminate a relative handful of terrorists.  And we’re the ones who have provided most of the weapons and bombs used to accomplish this slaughter – leveling the place and trashing the Gazan economy in the process.

Other than as an act of performance politics – because Trump and his gang of meanies believe that their supporters like it when they blow things up – why does the President keep destroying Venezuelan cartel drug boats instead of following them to port and tracking where the drugs, if there are any, go?  And then eventually shutting down their entire network?

Where are the videos of our Navy picking up debris from these explosions?  Maybe there isn’t anything left worth the effort.

Voters Remorse

So, Trump is now saying that the Musk email demanding government employees tell him what they did last week – or they’ll be assumed to have resigned – is only voluntary.  I believe “Just kidding,” were President Trump’s exact words.

Okay, now that it’s the end of the free trial of Donald Trump’s presidency, on behalf of all Americans – as well as other members of NATO, people of Ukraine, et al – I would like to unsubscribe and give Kamala Harris a chance.

“What?  There is no free trial?!  …Hmm.  Bummer.”

President Trump is, as of this writing, on the verge of giving private citizen Elon Musk access to everyone’s IRS file, yours included.  He says he’s doing this for reasons related to improving the efficiency of the IRS, but has stopped well short of telling what, precisely, those reasons might be.
