Why does Trump get a pass?

Because he is going to make America great again. He is going to bring back jobs. He is going to build the wall and make Mexico pay for it.

How many more talking points do I need to muster up?

I am amazed at the fact that every time Trump is faced with historical artifacts, he displays an absolutely unbelievable ignorance as if he cannot see past his gold-plated signs and his peach-colored marble entry ways.

Case in point - When he was tearing down the building where Trump Tower now stands, the city of New York wanted him to save the historical art pieces on the outside of the building. He said okay, until he found out how much money it was going to cost to have them carefully removed. So, when no one from the city was looking he had his illegal crew smash them up.

Why is this important? Because if he cannot treat an old artifact that he can see with his own eyes correctly how is he going to treat our historical ideas that he can't see like what are written in our Constitution and the Bill of Rights?

When it is politically expedient he will smash them up.

That is what he does. Bada bing.

“I am amazed at the fact that every time Trump is faced with historical artifacts, he displays an absolutely unbelievable ignorance “

The vast majority of people who will vote for him and elect him president are similarly afflicted.

What you are learning - you’re almost there - you correctly observed - you just need to commit it to knowledge...what you are learning is that a politician who is successful yet does not possess the pretentious educational trappings of his effete competitors can appeal to the majority of voters who are not scholars.

It’s a classic paradigm shift. You correctly identify it, but so far fail to learn from it because you don’t yet believe your own eyes.

Just because you are likely smarter than the average voter doesn’t mean you are “right” in the sense that folks should vote the way you do.

Trump, in my estimation, will get a majority of Republicans to vote for him (for many reasons, not just this one) and will also rip a large chunk of democrat voters for whom his act (or reality, it doesn’t really matter) appeals.

I think that Trump will be a better president that anyone else in the field right now. His is not an intellectual appeal like Rubio, or Cruz.

Intellectuals have gotten us 19T in debt and a tyrannical government.

That’s not a historical artifact I’d like preserved. Rubio and Cruz will continue the status quo strangulation of what is great about America.
