Donald Trump is even more mentally incompetent than we thought
Last night Donald Trump decided to tweet an idiotic rant about global warming being a good thing, but he misspelled it as “global waming.” This set off a number of jokes, and hours later, he still hadn’t bothered to correct it. Of course this is all par for the course when it comes to an illegitimate president who is semi-literate, overwhelmingly sloppy, and unwilling to take advantage of the numerous resources the office affords him. But that’s only half the problem.
Remember all of Donald Trump’s bizarrely violent rants about magic cars crossing the Mexican border with women in them whose mouths were duct taped? The whole thing sounded like a rejected script for a Stephen King novel. Remember Trump’s prior rants about finding Muslim prayer rugs near the border? Where did he get that phony detail from? As it turns out, Trump has in fact been getting all of this from a fictional story – and no, we’re not talking about Fox News.
Last night Rachel Maddow pieced together that all of Donald Trump’s recent claims about the Mexican border, from the duct tape to the suspiciously futuristic cars to the prayer rugs, came right out of the recent movie “Sicario: Day of the Soldado.” That’s right, the supposed President of the United States is basing his foreign policy decisions on a movie, because he’s too far gone in the cognitive department to understand that movies aren’t real life.
It’s one thing for Donald Trump to take every idiotic false claim on Fox News and treat it as if it were real news. At least Fox presents itself as a news outlet, so gullible conservatives will treat it as such. Now we’re talking about Trump thinking that scenes out of the latest Benicio Del Toro movie are real news. That’s not being gullible, or intellectually lazy. That’s nothing short of mentally incompetent.
