1. Trump assumes that if he has never heard of it, or asked a certain question, then no one has.

Mr. "I Alone" thinks his every new to him thought and experience is the first of its kind. Until he experiences it, then no one has. Otherwise, he's not the "highly intelligent" creature he thinks he is. He's not the smartest person in the room.

Trump thinks the light didn't exist until he asked, "Why is it dark?".

Which could explain why no one could find the light switches in the WH offices. They probably could, but since Trump needed to be the first to find them, they all had to sit in the dark until the ego located them.

Kind of like hunting for Easter eggs with a three 3 year old. You refrain from pointing the eggs out so that the 3 year old can get a sense of accomplishment - no matter how easy they eggs are to find.

Then you clap for the child - who now feels good about himself - and who might not take to Twitter to call the Easter Bunny a loser. Sad.

Or not.

You are correct....."..then no one has...".....

As if the events leading up to the civil war, have not been discussed before...
........Trump assumes that..
If he could keep his mouth shut...then..........????
But he can't..and more and more people in the world see him for the stupid loudmouth fool that he is.

Someone said, ...."I'd rather be thought a fool, then to open up the mouth and prove it. or words to that effect..Trump has been told by his advisors to shut up. stop talking about stuff you don't know. and so on, and so on, and so on, and on, and on and on...................................How do I know????


Because any reasonably smart person would advise the big mouth, whoever he is, to button it up..stop the tweeting..don't make that call, follow that script....But he won't...and that proves how stupid he is....

Because if you can avoid a mistake, but keeping it shut..the smart thing is...to keep it shut..

.But, he knows all.........sure he does...and guess what.."The emperor has no clothes, and I truly doubt he will ever put any on.. He is an ugly piece the lowest form of living thing, and he won't get better, cause he don't want to follow advise, cause he..."knows it all".....

7. If he ever finds his belly button under those ties, Trump will be enraptured for days.

Going around showing everyone his belly button. Declaring it the greatest belly button of all and how sad it is that no one knew about belly buttons before now. Asking how belly buttons came to be, and then tweeting about how it is the umbilical cord that keeps a fetus from falling out.

Trump takes a little information, no matter how inaccurate or limited, and extrapolates from there. Then off he goes to brag about what he doesn't know.

He really does need to shut up.

2. That, and slave owners and others weren't about to give up their gravy train. I do agree with Trump

if he meant why couldn't slave owners -- and non-slave owners benefiting indirectly -- in the South see slavery was just not morally right, and voluntarily give it up. But, he was probably talking about a BS "deal" like the "three fifths compromise" or something to let it continue.
