Is Trump really this ignorant?

[madaboutharry]

Is he so ignorant that he doesn't understand what violation of the terms of bail is or is this just a game he plays? It is hard to know.

1. probably not, but his base is.

[MineralMan]

2. He wasn't sentenced, you dolt!

He violated his terms of release, so the judge locked him up so he couldn't tamper with any more witnesses, you witless piece of crap!

Let the children go, you tyrant!

11. On Zoes twitter feed this morning on Manaforts detention...

"Hate to rip him apart from his family...but...well...it's the law...so sayeth the Trump Administration"

Let children go...indeed....

3. Pretty sure he knows the difference between pretrial detention and sentencing

[fleur-de-lisa]

4. I'm amazed that Dolt45 thinks Paulie has been sentenced.

[dalton99a]

5. He knows it's a lie. He's spreading the propaganda

[marylandblue]

6. It's a game. Facts don't matter.

What matters is discrediting the justice system so when they come for him, his supporters will agree it's just a witch hunt.

7. He. Doesn't. Care.

The only thing he cares about is creating his own reality to sell upon supporters and shore up his base in the hopes it will protect him against all consequences in the outside world.

Time line of t rump and manafort relationship...goes back to early 80s.....Cohn, Stone..and on and on..within the timeline....

[Trek4Truth]

14. But what is this "head of the mob" stuff...where has it really been mentioned if he was affiliated

with the mob. Why would RUMP even bring that up?

[procon]

9. He doesn't read the news or watch anything other than FOX-State TV.

He only has his own state run propaganda to go by, so this is the slant he gets fed in his daily brainwashing dose.

No doubt he's also filtering Manafort's witness tampering with his own similar activities, and he's probably feeling a bit anxious to discover that is a crime.

10. Goes farther than Trump...

12. Manafort wasn't the head of the Mob. He was the head of your campaign...

You ignorant fucking orange blob.

15. So, he *was* the head of the Mob, then?

tUmp campaign and administration IS a mob.

13. Trump's ignorant. Taking the meaning of the word and applying it to him.

He is ignorant.

But his ignorance is shared by a lot of people - his cult followers.

History, how government works and what that entails, current events - a lot of other things - completely ignorant about. Still.

He also lies during his waking hours and I'd wager even his dreams are built around lies. Not mere fantasy or tension release - but some lie he just told or wants to tell.

And he knows how to lie to appeal to the LCD - again, his cult followers.

You don't have to know how government works to hawk your wares at the flea market.

Factor in that he doesn't care what damage he causes with his ignorance and lies.

It's not about the country or the world - it's about Trump. That's all anyone has to know about Trump - for him, it's all about him.

[duforsure]

16. He's just that arrogant and spoiled,

And thinks he can con his way by lying out of anything, and now abusing his power of his office against others to protect himself with. Professional con men like him and Bernie Madoff have a career behind them of doing this , and making up excuses on the fly like he does. Media need to focus on him lying a lot more, and not let it be normalized any more, period.

[MrsCoffee]

17. No, just corrupt to the bone.

[MiniMe]

18. Yes

On which subject are we talking about? Doesn't matter, he really is that ignorant on ALL of them

[Wounded Bear]

19. It doesn't matter, much like his racism...

People used to ask if he was racist or not. The fact is, his personal thoughts don't matter when he is using racist tactics to do his evil.

Is he stupid? Probably not. It's just the same tactics he's used for decades, and has gotten away with it.

Is he ignorant? Maybe. He seems totally incurious about anything that doesn't result in personal enrichment, so maybe.
