Gen McCaffrey on Trump: "Disordered language. Incoherent thinking. 5th grade stuff."



Barry R McCaffrey
It’s almost impossible to believe that Trump as a Presidential candidate could sound this ignorant. Disordered language. Incoherent thinking. 5th grade stuff.

Kamala HQ
Trump: "We gave her the Presidential Medal of Freedom. It’s much better than the Congressional Medal of Honor because soldiers get the Congressional. And they’re in very bad shape because they've been hit so many times by bullets or they're dead. She gets it and she's a healthy, beautiful woman. And they’re rated equal"

1. Thank you for posting. GEN McCaffrey is spot on. A dipstick is the GOP pick for POTUS. Good for us.

2. You don't need to insult 5th graders General McCaffrey

I know plenty of 5th graders that would read the accounts of MOH winners and understand some of the sacrifice they made for our nation. At least they would understand that winning the MOH is much different that writing a check to the campaign of an incredibly stupid and evil person running for President of the USA.

3. He's insane. What's more impossible to believe is how his base doesn't recognize it as insanity.

HOW do they listen that that crap and not recognize it? And yet they clap and cheer and vote. Talk about insanity.

4. I think they hear what they want, not what he says.

He says: I'm smart! I'm great! I'm special! I'm one of you!

They hear: That means I'm smart, great, special ...

If they don't like what he says it's a joke or a clever plot to pwn the libs. Or only they are smart enough to know what he really meant.

Willful or unconscious suspension of critical thinking and interposing their desired content/context.

Or that's my take on it.
