How many things are we expected to believe he knows more about than anyone when it seems clear he struggles with basic grammar and reading.

What a fucking moron.

What a fucking moron.

His supporters believe him when he says this stuff, though. They believe he somehow knows this stuff, that he's somehow smarter than the experts in their own fields.

They believe it just because he claims it.

But if I tell them I'm an expert on the fundamental physics of the greenhouse effect (because taking advantage of those interactions is how I do my research and make my living), those same people claim we couldn't possibly know such things, or I'm only saying what I'm saying because my paycheck depends on it or whatever.

You should be skeptical of any one individual expert, or study, or whatever. But that's why there are so many. And if you're going to be incredulous of experts, why at the same time blindly defer to an idiot?

Because he provides easy answers. The economy is easy to fix, we just have to put America first. Immigration is a snap, we just have to build a wall. Health care is a piece of cake, just let me fix it. Deals are easy, just call people "mother fuckers" when you make them and they'll go against their own self interest.

You combine troubled times and people feeling alienated with someone claiming easy answers and it becomes a dangerous formula.

The truth is these issues are complicated. The truth is the people that are upset should be upset with themselves for not changing and adapting to the world as it changes. But it's much easier just to follow someone who says he'll make it all better if we just fix these couple of things.

A tiny part of me is sympathetic to that impulse. A larger part of me finds deep disgust with people behaving so childishly, especially when racism, selfish greed, and willful ignorance are such a significant part of the equation.

Figuring stuff out takes too much. I need every situation wrapped up in an hour (half hour if it's a sitcom).I want every complex situation boiled down to an easily chantable three word phrase.

Yep!

Imagine how much money he'd be "losing" if he paid his taxes?
