Trump's Biggest Flaw: He's Dumb (Barf alert)

Townhall.com ^ | November 5, 2017 | Steve Chapman

[AnotherUnixGeek]

Right - he's a billionaire married to a beautiful former model, he was a highly successful TV personality, he outwitted and out-thought a bunch of establishment Republicans in the primaries and made fools out of the pundits and the Clintons, and has now become the most powerful man in the world.

But hey, some nobody with a column in some web site no one reads thinks he's a fool, so it must be true.

[Robert DeLong]

Just another Democrat or Never-Trumper idiot who thinks he is smarter than everyone else. My guess is Steven would be blown away by President Trump, but he has nothing to prove to this low life sum:

Steve Chapman is a columnist and editorial writer for the Chicago Tribune. His twice-a-week column on national and international affairs, distributed by Creators Syndicate, appears in some 60 papers across the country. Steve Chapman came to the Tribune in 1981 from the New Republic magazine, where he was an associate editor. Steve Chapman has contributed articles to several national magazines, including Slate, The American Spectator, National Review and The Weekly Standard. Born in Brady, Texas, in 1954, Steve Chapman grew up in Midland and Austin. Steve Chapman attended Harvard University, where he was on the staff of the Harvard Crimson. He graduated with honors in 1976 and later did graduate work at the University of Chicago. Steve Chapman has three children and lives in suburban Chicago.

[Robert DeLong]

And boy are they. Not one that I read, and a read several, that supported his juvenile screed.

[Fresh Wind]

Please, Ms. Chapman, tell us were we can go to see the Chapman Tower, a Chapman golf course, or a Chapman international hotel.

After that, THEN we can talk about how stupid Trump is.

[Rastus]

I think it looks amazing.

[EliRoom8]

Again. It’s not this unknown pundit Steve Chapman that concerns me; it’s that Townhall gave him column space.

[JohnyBoy]

The fact that our legal system can let people off the hook for the president exercising his free speech confirms that it's a 3ed world garbage system. Every judge, lawyer, and prosecutor who enable it should be exiled for crimes against the American People.

[Robert DeLong]

I think they let him write his columns for them so that their readers can trash him, which they did, in spades. Everything he writes is critical of President Trump and anything that he is attempting to get accomplished.

These people that support & promote globalization, just want to make those who want sense brought back to this country & the world need to shame those who don't. It doesn't work anymore. Too many people realize that these attempts to shame reflect poorly on them, not us. I have come to the point where I just laugh at people like this, because they haven't the brain God gave a goose, and totally lack commonsense.

[Theophilus]

President Trump has a genius for being underestimated.

[Oshkalaboomboom]

So is FR for having articles like this here. It provides us no benefit.

Not true. FReepers like myself scour the web looking for articles to post so FReepers like you can pontificate over them without having to do the work of actually going out to find where they are. Perhaps if you started posting articles from sites you deem worthy I could take your guidance as a cue for where to look. Until then it's hit or miss as to whether it meets your standards or not.

Well, it’s obvious President Trump is 100 times smarter than this guy, Steve Chapman.

He pretty much got everything wrong but the spelling and syntax. A “D” for effort. An “F” for facts. But an “A” for spelling which works out to a solid “D-”.

Time for Chapman to find another line of work. He sucks at this one. Maybe he could try running for President to prove he is as smart as he thinks he is.

[dowcaet]

The president is stupid? He’s so stupid he’s running rings around Democrats, the MSM, and NeverTrumper Repukes pretty much by himself. Mr. Chapman wants a return to the status quo where both parties submit totally to the Deep State. That’s the reason our country is in the mess it is in today. It’s Mr. Chapman who is the stupid one here.

[Paladin2]

Born in Texas, lives around Chicago. Sounds dumb to me.

[HypatiaTaught]

I wonder what he could do if he was actually smart?

---

Rig elections, money laundering and authorizing hits on your opposition. Oh but this would be criminal for Trump.

[Nifster]

Oh sure. A guy who goes to Wharton and has real life success is dumb

This is exactly why journalists couldn’t understand why Trump won

[niteowl77]

So in order for Trump to cover up his intellectual deficiency he became a billionaire and President of the United States? I wonder what he could do if he was actually smart?

Delivered in person, that one would leave a lot of NeverTrumpers sputtering with rage.

[trebb]

Seems like Steve “Chapped-ass-man” is so dim he doesn’t recognize when someone is so much smarter than he has the brains to even imagine....

[iontheball]

Another egotistical, little man who looks upon a true achiever with nothing but scorn, rage and envy as a means to rationalize away his own under achievements in life. To all these clowns, the question needs to be asked: If you are so damn smart, why is Donald Trump President and you are just a cheap-shot backbencher?
