This is exactly the right thing to say about Trump. First of all, itā€™s true.
Second, it is an orange flag for Trump. He HAS to disagree and say that he knows plenty. If the pressure keeps up, then he will challenge people to ask him questions, or something similar, at which pointā€”POOF!

Dubya: It really doesnā€™t matter what POTUS knows or not. I still donā€™t know much and I did fine. You can always hire smart people, just like I did.

And it was also the right thing to say about the election. This election isnā€™t a gimme for Democrats and we have to GOTV.

Likely GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump said Wednesday that he consults with himself on issues like foreign policy because he has ā€œa very good brain.ā€
Asked on MSNBCā€™s ā€œMorning Joeā€ who he talks with ā€œconsistentlyā€ about foreign affairs, Mr. Trump responded, ā€œIā€™m speaking with myself, number one, because I have a very good brain and Iā€™ve said a lot of things,ā€ Politico reported.
The mogul pointed to his 2000 book, ā€œThe America We Deserve,ā€ where he made a reference to Osama bin Laden before the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
ā€œI know what Iā€™m doing, and I listen to a lot of people, I talk to a lot of people, and at the appropriate time Iā€™ll tell you who the people are,ā€ Mr. Trump said Wednesday. ā€œBut I speak to a lot of people, but my primary consultant is myself, and I have a good instinct for this stuff.ā€

ā€œIt ainā€™t what you donā€™t know that gets you into trouble. Itā€™s what you know for sure that just ainā€™t so.ā€ - Mark Twain

It thought taking a blue pill plus a yellow pill was the same thing as taking the green pill it was prescribed.

Trump could never take on Obama. Trump going against Obama is like Sarah Palin going up against Neil de Grasse Tyson.
And you KNOW no one gets under Donaldā€™s skin more than Obama, ever since the infamous White House Correspondentsā€™ Dinner.

Ooooh, the hit-and-run cowardly troll is back! Spewing and flaunting his ignorance (very Trump- and Palin-esque!), hate and lies while desperate seeking attention and hiding behind his keyboard! :smiley:

Hey, go easy on omahhum. At least he can multi-task - he can type and suck on Trumpā€™s tiny balls at the same time. And anyway, itā€™s hard to keep informed about the truth when Internet availability is so spotty under that bridge where the trolls live.

One of Obamaā€™s greatest weaknesses is his capacity for understatement.

Apologies to Tennyson? What about the men of the Light Brigade?

Still burned about Bernie, huh?

This is one of the best ways to go after Trump - point out how little he knows. Heā€™ll make shit up to look smart, and look even stupider. Another way?

Where are the tax returns, Donald?
