With Trump, "the truth is always vastly more idiotic than the fiction." (Eyewitness)

Something that bears repeating: America's favorite NAZI® is a moron.



New Book Details Trump Idea ‘So Incandescently Stupid’ That Official ‘Couldn't Laugh'

by Lee Moran
Yahoo News, July 18, 2023

Donald Trump once came up with a proposal for the U.S.-Mexico border wall ― involving ranchers, their cattle and ladders ― that was “so incandescently stupid I couldn’t laugh,” a former Homeland Security official who was present in the meeting claims in a new book.

Trump was in March 2019 undeterred when he was informed that reports of ranchers in Texas using doors in the wall to take their cattle grazing near the Rio Grande were false, Miles Taylor wrote in “Blowback: A Warning To Save Democracy From the Next Trump,” which Newsweek shared excerpts from on Monday.

Instead, Taylor said the then-president just ordered officials to buy the land, boasting he knew “more about land than any other human on Earth.”

“Give the ranchers ladders. They can use ladders to get to the other side, but not doors. You could use small fire trucks. Call the local fire stations, and use the ladders on their trucks to help them get over,” Trump reportedly continued, apparently not thinking through how the cattle would follow the ranchers.

With Trump “the truth is always vastly more idiotic than the fiction,” Taylor told Newsweek in promoting his upcoming book.

cows bouncing on trampolines,
getting rides in the cherry pickers--one cow at a time
maybe being hoisted over the fence with a series of ropes

I know a lot about idiots and this man is a bonafide idiot to the nth degree. Apparently he’s not alone. He has lots of idiot followers!

this is yet another example of someone waiting until long after the election to point out what a flaming disaster this man is.

Trump doesn't pick "the best people," only the most gutless.
