A Report by a Guy Who Hadn't Read Cliff Notes (or, These Days, Wikipedia)

Trump's brain damage was on full display when he answered a question about the Declaration of independence:

Terry Moran: What does [the Declaration of Independence] mean to you?

Trump: Well, it means, uh, exactly what it says. It's a declaration. It's a declaration of unity and love and respect, and it means a lot. And it's, uh, something very special to, to our country
.

Clearly, he's never read the fucking thing past the title. To his decaying mind, it's just a piece of ornamentation.

Trump is the Reverse Lincoln: With malice towards all and charity towards none.

  1. When teaching an introductory course on American politics, I read an occasional answer like this. I wondered if I could give negative points. I’m not sure that he read the complete name: of independence.

  3. Moran was gobsmacked and speechless at Trump's description of the Declaration...and looked down incredulously at Trump. Here's a screenshot:

    Trump: Not. A. Clue. Arendt: The banality of evil.
    Great line on the Anti-Lincoln. Thought of him as the AntiChrist, but this nails it too.

  4. Ah, he didn't read it as it talks about our being supremely
    pissed at the King for pulling much the same shit FLOSS
    is doing.

    stuff, ban it.
