I’m glad Trump verified for us that he has a “very good brain.” I sure didn’t want a candidate with a fair-to-middlin’ brain.

Donald Trump finally shared the name of someone he consults on foreign policy: himself.
Asked on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" who he talks with consistently about foreign policy, Trump responded, "I'm speaking with myself, number one, because I have a very good brain and I've said a lot of things."
"I know what I'm doing and I listen to a lot of people, I talk to a lot of people and at the appropriate time I'll tell you who the people are," Trump said. "But my primary consultant is myself and I have a good instinct for this stuff."

I saw the interview (on Morning Joe).....he said “I would consult myself FIRST!” The headline makes it seem as he said that he doesn’t consult OTHERS which is FALSE! How misleading.....sad!

Trump is so stupid it’s shocking! And I thought Obama was bad... The white version of him is worse. Why do people worship the worst of men?
Is anyone surprised by this?
Unfortunately this statement is very Obamaesk. Obama has said that he is smarter than his advisors.
Does anyone really think he has any, given the incoherent and contradictory statements he makes?

Nothing has changed much...1983 NYT…
“His alternating skills of charming some individuals and riding roughshod over others has earned Donald Trump a reputation in some quarters as someone not to be trusted. He reneged, for example, on a promise to donate to a museum the Art Deco bas- reliefs on the facade of Bonwit Teller’s - bulldozed to make way for Trump Tower. It was a sin deemed unforgivable by landmark preservationists. But the only negative comments about Donald Trump these days are given off the record.”

If true then it hasn't taken.
I presume you have determined that most people who make huge fortunes in business are "ignorant".
Why would you presume when you can just ask?

Is this really the kind of post that drives post moderation and suspension of mail?
If so, half of FR is going to need the same treatment.
You’re preaching to people who are true believers. Their deity needs no advice. The fact that he was praising the foreign policy of Hillary and Obama in 2009 means nothing to them. He is the wisest, greatest man ever. He doesn’t walk on water. He orders water to get out of the way. And if you don’t believe me, Trump will tell you.
And they will believe anything and everything he says.
The Bible teaches that wisdom is found in the counsel of many. But that is only for mortals...

He is providing Democrats with all the ammo needed to destroy him in a general election. Trump can’t get REPUBLICANS to agree with him! In any normal primary, people gather to a winner...but about half of the Republicans refuse to follow Trump.
It will be slaughter in a general election, even with the Democrats running the most repulsive candidate they can dig up.
FACT !
If your measurement of success is wealth then you must love Nancy Pelosi, AL Capone and Mao SE Tung. They all suffer from the same Brain defect and bank account.
George Washington, our military service men or any of the founders of this Nation, not so much.
In short, those that would enslave you, you love, those who gave you your freedom, you distain.
Fools vote for fools and envy evil.
I think all presidents should ignore the State Department.
Now we are told by the man himself that he has no need of advisors because his brain is so good.
Is there ever going to come a time before the election (after the election there will be much weeping, wailing, rending of a rainments and gnashing of teeth when the inescapable truth dawns) when conservatives will stop making fools of themselves over Donald Trump?
I do believe that is right out of the FDR book. For instance, every morning FDR would get with his Treasury Secretary and set the price of gold. There was no market influence, just what the two of them would conjure up and that would be the price for the day.
Trump is not ignorant. One does not build multi-hundred million dollar facilities in 13 foreign countries by being ignorant.
“If your measurement of success is wealth”
No, fool, I was responding very clearly to your accusation that Trump could not reason. Anyone who has accomplished his level of success can obviously reason
“then you must love Nancy Pelosi, AL Capone and Mao SE Tung. They all suffer from the same Brain defect and bank account.”
No, fool, because Trump got his wealth legally, they did not.
“In short, those that would enslave you, you love, those who gave you your freedom, you distain.”
Again, fool, I was responding to your charge that Trump cannot reason. You show that you cannot reason. You cannot even spell and think to be able to analyze anyone you don’t even know.
“Fools vote for fools and envy evil.
Only a fool would call Trump a fool, and and to accuse me of envying evil makes you a double fool.
“I know what I’m doing and I listen to a lot of people, I talk to a lot of people and at the appropriate time I’ll tell you who the people are,” Trump said. “But my primary consultant”
Hilarious statement and one of the most concise definitions of the man from his own mouth
You can’t make this stuff up.
“Don’t remember the name of the general but it was someone quite respected.”
I’ve searched for this and can’t find anything. Who is the General? He’s quite respected? Aren’t pretty much all General’s quite respected? They don’t just get handed that type of promotion.
Anyway, I’d be curious to hear who this general is.
