Doesn’t matter; the man is a blithering idiot and doesn’t knows factual Egyptian history!
Your choice of “blithering idiot” to describe him is not that intelligent a choice.
Brain surgeons are not blithering idiots.
Most certainly brilliant in brain surgery. But he's no rocket scientist when it comes to archaeology.
No one who can do a job in his chosen profession is an idiot. I know a lot more about designing and manufacturing heavy machinery subject to impact loads, than Ben Carson. That does not make me smarter than him. He knows brain surgery million times better than me.
But a president’s job is lot more than special skills in one field.
“Brain surgeons are not blithering idiots.”
Only when they try to run for President.
Look, he may be a brilliant doctor, but his education is sorely lacking in quite a few areas; though none so hysterically funny/absurd as his abject stupidity about Ancient Egypt! He and everyone else shouldn't talk about things they actually know nothing at all about. He is NOT fit to be president!
