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...

Listening to George Will is like listening to a blender.

He reminds me of the kid in grade school who told the teacher which kids were talking while she was out of the room.

Speaking of dangerous disabilities......it's certainly odd that know-it-all George Will never mentioned that butchering babies for profit was enabled by Bill and Hillary Clinton....and approved by abortion worshippers.... the Obamas.

Forget Fredeick Douglass......butchering babies is a dangerous disability for anyone to have...especially a president.

==============================================

REFERENCE---Remember when the "kind-hearted and compassionate" Clintons (Bill was then-President) assured us that abortion would be "safe, legal and rare?"

The kindly compassionate Clintons "forgot" to mention that they themselves opened the gates so that Planned Parenthood could traffic (and profit) in butchering babies for body parts.

(EXCERPT--WND.COM). Then-Pres Clinton is credited w/ opening up the market in fetal body parts. Since Clinton signed the National Institutes of Health Revitalization Act of 1993, “fetal-tissue research” has expanded into a federally subsidized multi-million dollar industry of selling human spare parts salvaged from abortions.

For example, the NIH budgeted $21 million in fiscal year 1999 for grants and awards for fetal tissue research. At the University of Washington, the NIH subsidizes the central laboratory for human embryology.

According to a lab notice obtained by WorldNetDaily, it “can supply tissue from normal or abnormal embryos and fetuses of desired gestational ages between 40 days to term. Specimens are obtained within minutes of passage, and tissues are aseptically identified, staged, and immediately processed according to the requirements of individual investigators.” The notice is signed by Alan G. Fantel of the department of pediatrics.

At the time, two organizations that profited from this growth industry were (the now defunct) Opening Lines, a business formerly located in West Frankfort, Illinois...... and Anatomic Gift Foundation, headquartered in Laurel, Maryland.

Opening Lines gives credit to President Clinton for opening up the lucrative business in fetal tissue trade. According to Opening Lines, on January 22, 1993, Clinton lifted the moratorium on federal funding. “This action created a great demand for fetal tissue and has made possible the development of treatments for individuals afflicted with serious diseases and disorders,” says the sales brochure.

Both companies served as wholesalers for the marketing of baby body parts to researchers, drug companies, hospitals and universities. These groups harvest the baby parts from abortion clinics and ship them to their customers.

Opening Lines provides fetal tissue researchers with a “fee for service schedule,” which gives prices for each body part. For example, Opening Lines charged:

<><> $150 for a spinal column; <><> $400 for an intact embryonic cadaver;

<><>$75 for 8-week-old baby's eyeballs (40% discount for a single eye);

<><>$150 for two arms or legs; <><> $100 for the skin of a 12-week-old baby.

George Will didn’t support Ronald Reagan when he ran for President.

So who gives a rat’s ass what this bow-tied sissy has to say about Trump.

I read the title too quickly and got all excited. I thought it said “George Will has a disability.” I thought he was coming forward with the anal wooden rod condition he’s had for decades. Brave man. Nope, now I am disappointed.

It’s so elitist - faux conservative Will would rather sample Bordeaux with Sally Yates than a can of Bud Light with Sean Spicer. He’s not anything but a thesaurus guy pretending to actually have understanding.

George is what the far left consider a good conservative. He is beyond RINO.

“George still suffering from post election butt hurt?”

Most likely it’s the kind of butt hurt that’s immediately preceded by a distinct pounding sensation in the rectum.

George Will bitterly opposed RONALD WILSON REAGAN until 3 weeks before the 1980 election, penning no less than 12 op-eds denouncing The Gipper. Why would ANY conservative listen to a single word he says?

Never trust an ivy league stuffed shirt that cannot even smile.
Now, that is a disability that must suck.

Big deal. Abraham Lincoln was exceptionally eloquent and the Democrats hated him too.
