Trump: Obama’s Ignorance Is Why He’s ‘The Worst President in U.S. History’
Breitbart.com ^ | 17 May 2016 | Alex Swoyer

Presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump responded to President Obama’s jab during a commencement speech last weekend at Rutgers University.

Taking to Twitter, Trump posted:

"In politics, and in life, ignorance is not a virtue." This is a primary reason that President Obama is the worst president in U.S. history!

Without calling Trump out by name, Obama focused on the Republican nominee throughout the graduation speech.

“In politics and in life, ignorance is not a virtue,” Obama told the graduates. “It’s not cool to not know what you’re talking about. That’s not keeping it real or telling it like it is. That’s not challenging political correctness. That’s just not knowing what you’re talking about. And yet we’ve become confused about this.”

“I guess it’s part of human nature — especially in times of change and uncertainty — to want to look backwards and long for some imaginary past when everything worked, and the economy hummed, and all politicians were wise, and every child was well-mannered, and America pretty much did whatever it wanted around the world,” Obama also stated. “Guess what? It ain’t so. The good old days weren’t all that good.”

I believe that Obama just called Trump "Stupid."

What Trump needs to do is release his College transcripts...and then dare Obama to release his too.

I think it’s a deliberate attempt to use words that a wider audience will understand and potentially identify with. To some it may seem like the dumbing down of politics, but I think this is what it will take to win in these times.

Yes, of course it is intentional. We’re too Christian, too white, too globally influential, too prosperous, too free, etc. - it needs a “fundamental transformation”.

The Won is not ignorant.

If he were ignorant, he’d “get it right” occasionally, just by accident.

He never “gets it right”.

Therefore, it’s intentional, because he’s malignantly evil to the very marrow of his bones.
***********************************************************

Several years ago, back in the 90s, our local land line provider sold the business to a different company. Every month for the next 7 months, we would get a bill riddled with errors, all in the new company’s favor. All over charges. My wife would be on the phone calling the phone company, spending a minimum of a half hour at a time, getting it straightened out.

That’s when we decided to drop them and go 100% wireless.

Neighbors were having the same problem - Always over charges, not a single under charge. Obama’s the same kind of scoundrel.

That’s also the vocabulary of a businessman vs. a political junkie.
