It's astonishing to me that-- even extemporaneously-- our new president cannot form cogent thoughts and sentences. Anyone else find this troubling?
Asked by Morning Joe who he talks with consistently about foreign policy, Trump responded, "I'm talking with myself, number one, because I have a very good brain and I've said a lot of things."
Trump at the Iowa rally: "People don't know how great you are. People don't know how smart you are. These are the smart people. These are the smart people. These are really the smart people. And they never like to say it. But I say it. And I'm a smart person. These are the smart. We have the smartest people. We have the smartest people. And they know it. And some say it. But they hate to say it. But we have the smartest people."

Thank Goddess he is not my president-elect, but the world is going to have to live with this. But I honestly don't know if he is really a bumbling idiot, or cleverly pretends to be one in order to unnerve and disconcert the public, as a kind of Machiavellian negotiating tactic.
I think he's smarter than his opponents think he is, and dumber than his supporters think he is. What's more troubling is the people he's surrounding himself with.
