Cuban Says Trump Is Getting ‘Stupider’

Cuban Says Trump Is Getting ‘Stupider’

https://politicalwire.com/2016/06/21/cuban-says-trump-is-getting-stupider/

"SNIP.............


Mark Cuban personally attacked Donald Trump, telling Extra that Trump has been running for president for a year “but you don’t look at him and say, ‘Wow, he’s gotten so much smarter on this topic or that topic.’ In fact, you look at him and say, ‘What the hell are you talking about?'”

He added: “It’s rare that you see someone get stupider before your eyes, but he’s really working at it… You have to give him credit. It’s a difficult thing to do but he’s accomplished it.”

novel things. The campaign is getting on in time. That and his inability to know detailed written knowledge of policy make him dumber. If he could just read he would be on a novel knowledge curve the whole time like Hillary has been for the last 50. But he's not. He would be pretty disengaged by the end of a presidency like Reagan was.

Never a big fan of Cuban. He stepped in shit and came out a "business person". Not unlike the person who is get stupider.

so did my dad (a form of it), and I'm starting to worry about myself. seen that ad on TV about the putting the keys in the icebox? I've DONE that to remind myself not to forget to bring something along with me the next day, then drove off to work with my spare set, not remembering that I'd put them in the fridge. fun times

this reminds me of my dear old dad, who first was diagnosed at the age of 53:

While repetitive speech and actions can be used to describe any politician in any campaign since the beginning of time, Trump has made excessive use of a number of words and phrases to an almost mind-numbing degree. In campaign speeches when he’s not reciting the fact that he went to Wharton and that you have to very smart to go there, Trump will repeat poll numbers ad nauseum before getting into anything resembling policy.

There are the constant mentions of the book he wrote (with help) decades ago, The Art of The Deal. Calling people “losers” or “stupid” while proclaiming himself “smart,” repeatedly referring to himself as the GOP’s “fair haired boy” to “bing bing bong bong,” professing his “love” of immigrants, Muslims, women or any other group he has offended, calling both Jeb Bush and Ben Carson “low energy” and that he’ll “be so good at the military it’ll make your head spin.” Trump sounds less like a political broken record and more like a person suffering from some form of mental illness with meaningless slogans and shallow figures of speech” swirling around his head.
