Read And Weep



The expression "carrying coals to Newcastle" has long pertained to any further, redundant, exhausting illustration of the unfitness and the sheer, numbing ignorance of Donald "Rump" Trump. However, it bears chronicling for posterity, I guess.

This world-class boob, "elected" by other boobs with an assist from an America- hating tyrant, was recently interviewed by Washington Post writers.  As you would expect, the brain rot is there for all to see:

On global climate change and the recent National Climate Assessment warning of the dire consequences of inaction:

“One of the problems that a lot of people like myself, we have very high levels of intelligence but we’re not necessarily such believers."

“As to whether or not it’s man-made and whether or not the effects that you’re talking about are there, I don’t see it.”

“If you go back and if you look at articles, they talk about global freezing. They talk about at some point, the planet is going to freeze to death, then it’s going to die of heat exhaustion.”

Keyword: "exhaustion."

On air and water pollution:

“You look at our air and our water and it’s right now at a record clean. But when you look at China and you look at parts of Asia and you look at South America, and when you look at many other places in this world, including Russia, including many other places, the air is incredibly dirty, and when you’re talking about an atmosphere, oceans are very small. And it blows over and it sails over. I mean we take thousands of tons of garbage off our beaches all the time that comes over from Asia. It just flows right down the Pacific. It flows and we say, ‘Where does this come from?’ And it takes many people, to start off with.”

Keyword: "blows."

On "raking" to prevent forest fires:

“You go to other places where they have denser trees, it’s more dense, where the trees are more flammable, they don’t have forest fires like this because they maintain. And it was very interesting I was watching the firemen, and they were raking brush. . . . It’s on fire. They’re raking it, working so hard. If that was raked in the beginning, there would be nothing to catch on fire.”

Keyword: "dense."

The author of the aforementioned National Climate Assessment has an epic takedown of Dolt 45 and his spokesliars lies;  you can check it out here.

Meanwhile, is Mueller filing more indictments? Is the Mueller report out? Is it 2020 yet?

Trump keeps referring to “higher levels of intelligence” and “guts” , neither of which he has. If he wants to discuss his own qualities, he should focus on “narcissism” and “willful ignorance”, both of which describe him to a T.

donnah - he's the perfect clinical example of the narcissist, lacking self- awareness to a laughable degree. He'll just keep it up because he's got that personality disorder, and fumbling into the presidency has only confirmed in his own "mind" that he's right about his unique genius.
