Trump’s stereotypes are clearly true. Just listen to the man talk. He has the attention span of a poorly fed sparrow. The other day he raved about the wonderful letter he got from Kim Jong Un, then eight minutes later said he hadn’t read it. Google “trump nuclear uncle” for a sentence so meandering and incomprehensible that it should probably be banned as a weapon of war on humanitarian grounds. Thousands more examples can be found.

W was a bit naive but not a dunce. His folksy Texas way of talking was an affectation. He flew fighter jets in the 70s, when that was about as safe and easy as juggling chainsaws. I think W is one of the worst leaders we’ve ever had, but he wasn’t an idiot.
