Trump-grade Stupid

Exactly how stupid do you have to be to believe that Trump did not collude with the Russians, and continues to do so? How clueless do you have to be to hear about “secret meetings” with Russian operatives – including the one we’ve just learned of today between Trump and Putin – and still believe they were all completely innocent, where no quid-pro-quo was discussed? You’d have to be Trump-grade stupid – which, as we’ve all seen, is as stupid as it gets.

How stupid do you have to be to believe that people like Jared Kushner and Jeff Sessions simply “forgot” their many, many contacts with Russian operatives – and only “remembered” those contacts when confronted with proof they occurred? Trump-grade stupid.

How stupid do you have to be to believe that Don Jr. took a meeting with Russians, who stated they were acting on behalf of their government in order to support Trump’s bid for the presidency and promised to deliver damning information about his opponent, wasn’t attempting to acquire information that was illegal to obtain and use? Again, Trump-grade stupid.

How stupid do you have to be to believe that a “pResident” and an administration that has had to lawyer-up on an ongoing basis has nothing to hide, and have been completely transparent – except for all of the things they have NOT been transparent about? If you said Trump-grade stupid, you’re on the right track.

How stupid do you have to be to believe that a “pResident” who has now announced that he intends to allow Obamacare to simply fail – which would leave millions of Americans without affordable healthcare coverage – has the best interests of the citizenry at heart? Yep, if you guessed Trump-grade stupid, congratulations – you guessed correctly.

How stupid do you have to be to believe that the “pResident” who outsources his own manufacturing to low-wage countries is the least bit interested in bringing jobs back to the US? We’re talking major Trump-grade stupid here.

How stupid do you have to be to believe anything a proven liar says? How stupid do you have to be to think that a “pResident” who spends his time tweeting incoherent gibberish is mentally stable? How stupid do you have to be to think that a “pResident” who continues to insist that he lost the popular vote due to “illegals” voting, and that his predecessor is guilty of a felony by “wire-tapping” him – all without ANY evidence whatsoever – is of sound mind? If your response is Trump-grade stupid, you’ve got it.

How stupid do you have to be to believe that an idiot, who has to have his daily briefings reduced to one page of bullet-points so as not to interfere with his TV-watching and golf games, has the intellectual wherewithal to govern a nation? Well, we’re now in major Trump-grade stupid territory.

How stupid do you have to be to believe that a self-declared pussy-grabber is a model Christian “chosen by God” to govern a nation, that a man who built his business empire by cheating hard-working Americans out of their due compensation for labour/materials delivered, that a man who uses his “charitable foundation” to line his own pockets and scammed people out of their savings via his fake “university” is a model of honesty and integrity. Trump-grade stupid? No, this is beyond Trump-grade stupid.

The so-called “pResident” is as ignorant as he is obviously illiterate. He has been caught lying repeatedly, especially where contacts with Russian operatives are concerned. For fuck’s sake, he actually handed over highly-classified information to the Russians in the Oval Office – and the Trump-grade stupid are more than okay with that.

Given all of the evidence we now have, anyone still out there who believes this “pResident” isn’t Putin’s bitch, anyone who still maintains that “transparency” should only come about AFTER revelations to the contrary are proven, anyone who believes that the man who greeted Putin with the words “It’s an honour to be with you” – after throwing our own intelligence agencies under the bus – has the best interests of our nation and its populace at heart is Trump-grade stupid.

Trump and his cohorts ARE indisputably guilty of aiding and abetting our foreign adversaries. They have NO EXPLANATION for why we only learn of “secret meetings” with Russian operatives when the proof thereof is revealed. We have NO EXPLANATION as to why such secrecy is necessary if the “pResident” is acting in good faith on behalf of our country. We have NO EXPLANATION as to why our so-called “pResident” has repeatedly praised Putin while dismissing the conclusions of our own intelligence as “fake news”.

It is Trump-grade stupidity to believe ANY of the blatant bullshit being proffered by Trump himself, and the Republicans who stand behind him. It is Trump-grade stupidity to think that a dumbass “pResident” who consistently fellates Putin is anything other than a cock-holster for the man who spearheaded an assault on our democracy by interfering in our election process. It is Trump-grade stupidity to believe that proven facts are irrelevant, and literally hundreds of “forgotten” interactions with our enemies is somehow the norm.

One can only imagine how much better off our country would be if the Trump-grade stupid didn’t live among us - all too willing to believe the totally unbelievable, defend the indefensible, and anxious to swallow anti-American garbage while rubbing their stomachs and saying "Hmm, uhmm, good!"

They refuse to accept that their trusted "leader" (eh, I don't see a leader) is capable of unethical conduct. They're still holding onto the notion that the man they elected will someday come around and "evolve".
Wishful thinking, buddies. tRump is the same tRump he's always been.

turnaround by their hero. Ain't gonna happen. The larger tragedy is, after Trump finally exits the world stage, we are still stuck with the dumbasses who swept him into power.

And, as you know, their ain't no cure for stupid.

to believe that a guy who's failing businesses and billions in debt were not rescued by the Russian mob and scumbag oligarchs from the USSR through money laundering their ill gotten gains? And now those same Russians do not own him?

The densest substance possible in our universe, yet it has no useful physical properties unless you count the fact that it is remarkably toxic and corrosive. It reflects nothing and emits a peculiar type of radiation that somehow makes everything near it "Mean".

plunged the depths of degradation and put this pathological moron in charge of our government just because he sounded like a professional wrestler.
The great dumbing down fostered and promoted by Republicans since Spiro (effete snobs in their ivory towers, aka Jews and the educated) Agnew and George (pointy headed liberals) Wallace. They have made ignorance a virtue and critical thinking the enemy.
Today's GOP has masterfully exploited the ignorance they promoted for the past 50 years.
When a candidate appeals to the worst fears and lowest instincts in language that turns American families and friends against each other we have a real problem.
