1. Good question.

I was wondering about that yesterday afternoon. Cheatolini is too self absorbed to consider the passing of a man of peace, especially one from Africa.

4. Exactly my thought...he was black, an advocate of peace and associated with the UN.

2. somebody would have to tell him who Annan was first

If one is spending any of one's mental resources wondering "What does Trump have to say about (whatever)?" then one needs to find something worthwhile to do.

Obviously, the generic Trump reaction to anything is:

(a) say nothing, since he has no fucking clue whatever it is, or
(b) say something atrocious and self-centered.

That's it. Pick (a) or (b) and you have your answer to the generic form of "What does Trump have to say about (whatever)?"

9. He is so smart, and prescient - that he did it long in advance! What do you think covfefe was about

...Kidding!

Of course he has no idea (and wouldn't care if he did) who Kofi Annon is, and his role in trying to make the world a safer place.
