"However, we were pleasantly surprised at how much time President Trump spent asking very informed questions. The first time the presidents spoke, the questions Trump asked impressed us. “How can you win in this fight [against terrorism]?” he asked. “What do you need to become financially independent?” and “How can American business invest in Afghanistan? How can we develop businesses and mining in your country?”

"Trump would listen intently after each question, often asking follow-ups. Trump's second call with our president was even longer than the first. Asking these types of questions for our country is something the Obama administration never did."

I agree with you. The person(s) should be fired or sent to serve in some hell hole.

What idiot told the president of Afganistan to keep it short? One of his or one of ours?

We need to find out - it matters.

If it was one of Trump's, he's probably already out the door.

——MULATTO-—

There you go...... discriminating.

We have been brow beat for years and years to consider all people with negroid genes and features to be described as black. There must be solidarity.

Once there is discrimination, the division of the fictional Black Community into sub cultures and types, the solidarity is gone.

To attempt to improve Barack’s status by adding white genes is anathema..... intolerable /S

It is scary that these Afghanis are smarter than our Congressmen from both sides.

For the most part our elected "leaders" and "civil servants" are neither, they just play those roles on TV.

Too often we in the West equate formal education, fancy clothes and (relatively) high wealth with being smart. There may be some correlation with being "smart" but very little with being wise.

Many years ago I had a bit of "interaction" with the Kenya secret police. On other occasions with high ranking Tanzanian and Ugandan military officers. Finally with a village of illiterate bushmen. I was very surprised to learn just how competent these men were, then greatly humbled to realize how uninformed and biased I was.

There are wise and good people all over the place, if we just look & listen.

Thus endeth the sermon for today. :-)

And there you have the difference between academia and common sense.
Between book-learned and real world.

President Trump has always shown how to get to the meat of anything. He is a true leader. The things people put down about him are trivial. He is based and he knows how to cut through the BS.

Re academic:

Dennis Prager says that the quantity of college education is inversely correlated to common sense and wisdom.

For a chuckle, right-click the article and select Inspect.

Noticed while disabling the subject of the chuckle.

“Dennis Prager says that the quantity of college education is inversely correlated to common sense and wisdom.”

True, in a world where education is a primer for the outside world, but not in a Progressive world where “education” is actually indoctrination into the world of overweening superiority accompanied by a willingness toward violence.

(Dangerous buggers they are.)

IMHO

We are both right, and we are both unlucky enough to be living in this bizarro world where the deeper your indoctrination into leftist globalism, the more intelligent their crowd deems you.
