George Will: Trump has a dangerous disability
The Washington Post ^ | May 3, 2017 | George F. Will

Posted on 05/08/2017 1:16:22 PM PDT by EveningStar

It is urgent for Americans to think and speak clearly about President Trump’s inability to do either. This seems to be not a mere disinclination but a disability. It is not merely the result of intellectual sloth but of an untrained mind bereft of information and married to stratospheric self-confidence.

In February, acknowledging Black History Month, Trump said that “Frederick Douglass is an example of somebody who’s done an amazing job and is getting recognized more and more, I notice.” Because Trump is syntactically challenged, it was possible and tempting to see this not as a historical howler about a man who died 122 years ago, but as just another of Trump’s verbal fender benders, this one involving verb tenses...

What is most alarming (and mortifying to the University of Pennsylvania, from which he graduated) is not that Trump has entered his eighth decade unscathed by even elementary knowledge about the nation’s history. As this column has said before, the problem isn’t that he does not know this or that, or that he does not know that he does not know this or that. Rather, the dangerous thing is that he does not know what it is to know something...

George Will is a perfect addition to the leftard team at PMSNBC (as just announced today). They always like token “conservatives” who can be counted on to be disloyal to every conservative leader and cause. George Will serves the leftard agenda admirably.

Now the Never-Trumpers are moving on to “crazy.”

Expect to hear nothing but “Trump is deranged” from the media for a long time.


And violent. Have you noticed the sudden spasm of violent rhetoric from the tantruming left? The GOP is “gassing people”, will kill my wife, etc., etc.

This is going to end in violence guaranteed.

Will just sold his soul (whatever he had left) to MSNBC. Will’s liability is a total lack of integrity.

As long as Trump builds the wall, appoints conservatives to the judiciary and leads, I'm happy with him regardless of whether he passes George Will's history pop quiz.

George ---- We are getting sick and tired of your ilk. You were a Never Trumper from day one and you still continue the charade of being a so called conservative. If I were you, I would stick to baseball history. Please do not bore us with your dislike of Donald J. Trump.

I wonder what Will would have said about Lincoln, or General Patton, or any other born leader?

This pompous @ss sickens me to no end.

Georgie Porgie, Pudding and pie,
Kissed the girls and made them cry,
When the boys came out to play,
Georgie Porgie ran away.

That little ditty is an accurate depiction of this bi-speckled asshole.

GW is like many writers at National Review. They were wrong but they can’t admit it and their entire focus is on finding things where they can conclude that they were indeed right.

Will pulled this same s*** with Reagan. The pencil-necked, goggle-eyed pr*** believes he the smartest human being on Earth, and everyone else is beneath him.

Hey, George, you imbecilic twit, f*** off!

It is a miracle that George Will has not died from asphyxiation after years of having his head up his ass.

I think if Trump loses his way conservative-wise its reasonable to nicely try and correct him

But the nasty piling on of never trump types like GW are no better than liberals
