'Profound idiot': Nicolle Wallace struggles to process Trump's shock joke to Japanese PM

trump does not have a sense of humor and is a major league sexist asshole

'Profound idiot': Nicolle Wallace struggles to process Trump's shock joke to Japanese PM www.rawstory.com/nicolle-wall...
Oh man! No joking about Nagasaki and Hiroshima being the double tap that ended WW2?
He's obtuse. And acutely moronic.

MS NOW host Nicolle Wallace had a frank reaction on Thursday after President Donald Trump made a jaw-dropping comment that shocked people inside the Oval Office during a White House meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi.

Wallace was visibly stunned after discussing Trump's attempted joke that clearly left the room uncomfortable when a reporter asked why Trump hadn't warned his allies that the U.S.-Israeli military strikes were coming.

"One thing, you don't want to signal too much when we go in," Trump said. "We went in very hard and we didn't tell anyone about it because we wanted surprise. Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor?"

Wallace watched the video playback and commented on Trump, asking her panel to share their thoughts.

"I struggle every minute of every day with platforming him, one, I should do it all day because it shows what a profound idiot he is," Wallace said. "But but two, we were on other sides. This is a question about why didn't you read in your allies? And he says, we didn't know what our adversary was going to do. I mean, David Frum, what do you even, how's your brain doing?"

However, I've watched enough "talking heads admonishing Mango Mussolini for bad behavior" to last about 20 lifetimes. So I'll just say I hope the topic of the discussion was less "damn, IQ47 sure is an asshole!" and more "the man's already weak-impulse control is now completely gone, and he's rapidly spiraling into mental incapacity".

And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever.

I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman.

But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.

Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers.

And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness.

There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface.

Absolutely nailed it.

He doesn't even really seem to know how to smile - he leers, jeers, or sneers.

He's in position, then he flashes that rictus grin and thumb-up pose, and....scene. Back to affectless.

…with a dull meat cleaver. He has forever ruined that gesture for me, just as the White Power morons have ruined the OK gesture.

Psychopaths are emotionally unavailable.
They don't understand, nor can they sincerely experience empathy, remorse, joy, and sadness.

Conviction and determination are the only overtly evident emotions available to them.

Everything else is fake.

To refer to him as an idiot as opposed to recognizing him for his psychopathy is an insult to the intellectually challenged among us. Who often times are benevolent sweet souls.
