Well, depends on how you define it.
To me there's a difference between an unintelligent person and an uneducated person.
I am far from the idea that he's a 200-IQ genius, but he's also not stupid.
“He’s not stupid, he’s just willfully ignorant”
Just uneducated on most political topics.
That too.
Sometimes he plays dumb.
There’s no meaningful distinction when you’re talking about how that affects the actions you take
Being unable to understand something, and being ignorant of something, lead to the same conclusion and practice in the real world.
Well, if you frame it like that, sure, of course.
I also do worry about Biden's age now that we're at it.
I'm a tin foil hat wearer, so I think Trump's role was to help along America's role as 'THE Bad Guy' for the next major global confict of good versus evil
Trump will be fine but his base will not be trusted ever again, especially if they do something silly during the Senate Impeachment Trial, which seems likely
It seems as though trump has difficulty processing abstract concepts
To be fair, that's not average American's strong suite either. In that respect, he's just 'normal' for here
America is a 'sensor' country
Haha
I think he is below average in that regard
Certainly for college graduates
A whole mini publishing industry was built up around this idea, Edward De Bono, etc
helping Americans regain abstract thinking
Bush was someone with very little intellectual curiosity but who was not “stupid”
I truly think trump is both intellectual incurious and stupid
Not sure how I would compare BUsh and Trump. I think Bush's major advantage was having a smaller ego
The ease with which he is manipulated and unable to generate theories of mind about other people shows this
Yeah I would agree with that
Bush was more personable too
Sometimes when I look at what Trump's dad did to help him out financially, I wonder if Don was an experiment and the subject of some odd form of abuse
I met and had a 15min convo wtih Ivanka once, she struck me as pretty cool at the time, long time ago though now
I don't think she knew Kushner then, I'm pretty sure she was single etc, was doing the fashion model thing while negotiating some of their deals with saudi arabia(that was subject of talk she gave)
They married in 09 hmmmm I don't think it was much earlier than that
Huh cool
Yeah, she and Jared aren’t idiots as far as I can tell
Trump is the best president we've had in 27 years. Prove me wrong
You're wrong.
Proven.
That isn't proof.
Prove I'm wrong using facts.
Neither is your claim proven.
Prove it using facts.
