General Kelly, Trump's former Chief of Staff, was right calling Trump a "moron".



Tuesday, November 3rd cannot come soon enough.

16. You know....

Taking the time to read the material before you just start winging it in public (without his reading glasses too) might just help.

Yesterday he dry read what I thought was the healthcare plan but it turned out to just be ramblings about several topics. The speech writing is terrible too. That doesn’t help either.

[soothsayer]

18. He's a rambling man

21. Doing they best he can

[Dave Starsky]

29. He was born in the back seat of a Greyhound bus...

Rollin' down Highway 41.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

30. Agree. But can't help but think about what he did about college

He ONLY wanted to learn about one thing - commercial RE. Like we would get the context - Sequoia and Yosemite. Related. It's like he may never even heard of Yosemite.

33. If it's not about him he doesn't care

No he may have never heard of Yosemite. Still reading through it beforehand if only so as not to give the “yeah whatever” impression would help. I guess he was busy with Executive Time.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

34. Yes. He doesn't care. He has got to be one of the strangest

mix of crazy and sane and perverted and psychologically defective people ever to exist. Colleges should have a degree for it in the future.

[JHB]

36. He's probably heard of it, but never read its name in print...

...so he has no mental connection between the spelling and pronunciation.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

38. Good point. Never thought of that.

[Yeehah]

32. That is difficult to believe

This is the President of the USA.

We must abolish the electoral college.

2. Ah jeez...

[Coventina]

3. It would be funny, if it wasn't so tragic.

[Aristus]

4. Just like I did...

when I was five f*****g years old!...

15. Oh snap!

😂🤣😂

17. LMAO

[Brother Buzz]

23. DUzy worthy!

[Mike 03]

8. And don't forget Rex Tillerson, who added a famous expletive before the "moron."

Trump does bear one distinction. He's been called a moron by more subordinates than any other president in American history.

[bluewater]

12. Good point!

On reflection, Kelly might have called Trump "an idiot".

[Cirque du So-What]

25. There is a difference

According to British legal stature, an idiot is an individual with an IQ of less than 20, an imbecile has an IQ of between 20 and 49, and a moron an IQ between 50 and 69. Cretins are specifically persons with a deformity or mental retardation caused by a thyroid deficiency; cretinism is now more commonly called hyperthyroidism. Idoit isderived from the Greek for "private person" (as in idiosyncracy); moron is from the Greek for "foolish"; imbecile is a construction from a Latin phrase meaning "without a stick"; cretin comes, via the French, from the word "Christian" and implies a holy person - God's fool" as it were.

I'm going with idiot.

[bluewater]

27. Thanks for the information!

lol

[CTyankee]

9. as in "Yo! Semites! I want you to vote for me!"

[greymattermom]

10. So he thinks Half-Dome

is a Jewish thing? Like half a yarmulke?

[Baclava]

11. LOL, what a maroon

[PCIntern]

13. I gotta try that at Shul Friday night!!!nt

[Sympthsical]

14. I have a t-shirt with that

There's a gift shop in SF next to a synagogue, and they have t-shirts with nature graphics of Yosemite that say, "Yo, Semites!"

It's amusing.

[Tactical Peek]

28. That is almost - dare I say it? - prophetic.

31. LOL, that's the one I have! n/t

[no_hypocrisy]

20. Trump is decidedly dyslexic. He makes W look good.

You'd think he'd get Yosemite correct from Looney Tunes.

[blue neen]

26. "When they gaze upon yo-Semites".

Gawd, he's stupid.

[demmiblue]

35. ...

[chriscan64]

37. Yo! Semites in the House!

I wonder how many Asian world leaders he calls "Bob".

[ananda]

39. When I was little, and first saw it ..

.. I thought it was pronounced Yozemite

[LW1977]

40. Wonder if he pronounces Arkansas "Ar-Kansas"

That’s how I pronounced it first grade geography.
