Trump blasts his own military leaders in new interview: 'I know the regulation even better than they

https://www.rawstory.com/2020/06/trump-blasts-his-own-military-leaders-in-new-interview-i-know-the-regulation-even-better-than-they-do/

Snip

Donald Trump continued to insist that it there was nothing wrong with gassing protesters for the president to pose with a Bible for a photo-op.

“President Trump declined on Friday to say he retains full confidence in Defense Secretary Mark Esper, and said Esper and Joint Chiefs Chairman Mark Milley should have been “proud” to join him on the now-infamous walk across Lafayette Square,” Axios reported Friday evening.

Trump was responding to widespread criticism of the military taking part in his political posturing.

And he’s convinced he’s a genius. I can’t think of anyone else in history this stupid who has stayed in power for so long.

He is comparing his faux knowledge to the wrong people. It's a category error.

Donald Trump insisted today that he knows more than Hitler, Gobbles, Mussolini and Stalin combined.


At least he would be lying in the right direction and it would be far more believable.

That's how he regularly does when he's knows he is dumber than a box of rocks and tries to project the opposite of the truth to the people that believe his serial lying statements . His followers look like fools supporting such a liar, claiming he is smarter than all the doctors , all the generals,, and many others. People that believe anything trump says are going to realize at some point he's a fraud and hurting them, and these people won't be as nice when they protest against him. Its coming because his followers are running from him now. His numbers are tanking . He knows that too.

of it until I heard of it. I Alone, stable genius, know what you know only bigly and tremendous. It's a beautiful know that I know. People cheered the know that I know. Said it was the greatest know of all. No president has ever had a know like the know I know.

Y'know?

Of course you don't know. Only I know the know that no one has ever heard of before now. My know is now famous because I know it. It is known because I know it.

Whenever he says he "knows more about _______ than ___________", what he is really saying is that "I know fuck-all about this topic and don't question my authority!"
