Trump, Finally Explained (Trump, A Dunce Like Reagan)
New York Times ^ | 12/03/2016 | Gail Collins

Some of you may find it disturbing that one of Trump’s chief apologists was basically saying that he talks policy like a drunk at happy hour. Some of you may hear Trump constantly contradicting today what he said yesterday and decide he’s an idiot.

From now on I’m going to try to think of him as a little bit like my dog, Frieda. Frieda is extremely intelligent, but her memory is only good for about 90 seconds.

When you listen to Trump’s Inaugural Address, or his first State of the Union, keep reminding yourself that he’s reserving the right to forget everything he’s said as soon as he says it. No way we can believe him long term. Unless he tattoos it on his arm.

Good points.

My focus is the liberals’ need to believe they are more intelligent than conservatives. Just one example: A few years ago, at a dinner of sports professionals, I had to listen to the rantings of a 25 year-old Obama supporter who castigated me for believing in our Second Amendment. She raised her voice over the table, interrupting me from my socratic questioning. The rest at the table simply smiled in agreement with her. I was 64 years-old at the time.

Remember when Obama totally lost his train of thought while speaking in 08? His followers cheered him! Liberals are not stupid, no matter how foolish they are.

The NYT will constantly attack Trump’s intelligence — they must. It pays the bills for the newspaper; objective reporting would not.

Reagan had a great sense of humor

When told that Clint Eastwood was elected mayor Of Carmel CA
he said
“ I never thought I would see the day when an actor who starred in a movie with a monkey would get elected to public office”

I think it is great when the left underestimates us. They spent twenty years calling Ronald Reagan a dunce and all the while he was eating their lunch. Trump is doing the same and will continue to do so. Great times ahead.

I told a friend a few months ago that I felt trump would win cause the election this year reminded me of 1984 and how the media flipped out over the 1st female VP nominee and they trashed Trump like Reagan seems like it will be worse the media is unhinged

Liberals have decided Trump, like Reagan, is a dunce

This liberal position makes it exceeding clear; America is in desperate need of a dunce for president. I don't think this dunce will be a Reagan but Trump is about as close as we will get this election cycle.
