IIRC, the news organization that called Trump out on that was found to speak the their audience at a lower level than Trump. The Army writes its manuals at 8th grade or lower level so people can understand them. That doesn’t mean the Army thinks soldiers are stupid, does it?
“That doesn’t mean the Army thinks soldiers are stupid, does it?”
No it means they know some of the people reading the manuals are ignorant above 8th grade level.
Stupid and ignorant are two different things.
Does conceding your point, Trump doesn’t consider his supporters stupid just ignorant above a 4th grade level, make you feel better about yourself.
