What's with this "us" bit, David?

New York Times "conservative" columnist David Brooks claimed on Thursday that "Trump Has Made Us All Stupid." Brooks admits that liberals are now acting really really stupid (as well as loony) but that the fault lies with President Donald Trump.

The weird thing about Brooks' column is that he also gives as close to high praise to Trump as you can at the Times without getting a pink slip (although that could still happen).

Don't be too surprised to see the NYT HR department ask Brooks to have a little chat with them.

[Dacula]

No, you were already stupid. He just made you look into a mirror.

[lurk]

Stupid is much more deep rooted. Trump has revealed the stupid.

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

You were born that way David.

[humblegunner]

Please keep us posted about Mr. Brooks, whoever he is.
This is important to so many people and their lives.

I’m an uneducated deplorable. I haven’t noticed any difference.

[laplata]

Trump has exposed the stupid for all to see, except the stupid who are unable to recognize stupidity.

[Texas Eagle]

If by “us” you mean “Liberals”, then it’s actually a pre-existing condition.

[I want the USA back]

“Us All” Words have meanings. He’s saying that he and the people he’s talking to are stupid. He indeed is.

[Zathras]

You can’t fix Stupid.
Brooks has been stupid since Reagan

[Texas Eagle]

This is an encouraging sign, David. The first step on the road to recovery is admitting you have a problem.

[Candor7]

The stupidity of Dems and the looney-ness of the left is easy to explain!

Trump’s fault!

( How stupid is that? And David Brooks is talking about stupidity? WHILE BEING ULTIMATELY STUPID?)

This is just too rich.

So much winning.

"David Brooks: 'Trump Has Made Us All Stupid' "

Brooks just became self-aware. Congratulations!

[yldstrk]

David was born stupid

[SaxxonWoods]

That’s the power of Trump then. He made you stupid long before he ran for president.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Don’t put it all on trump. You already had a head start...

[thoughtomator]

Trump got the same reception from these guys as a competent employee who accidentally gets hired on in a bureaucracy.

[Nothingburger]

Brooks wrote one decent book, “BOBOs in Paradise.” He’s been going downhill ever since.

[Chgogal]

Huh? Brooks must have read my tagline.

[Colo9250]

Yep, he has a mouse in his pocket or is that gerbel?
