...to me, that will go down as *the* definitive moment of Trump's Moronic Reign. The sheer imbecility, the contempt for his fellow Americans it implies, the rapt regard in which his cult will follow it, and by implication, his every word...the absolute uselessness of the remark, in the midst of a great national crisis...
