More craziness from POTUS. He handed out that letter to Erdogan to show how tough he'd been.

Per the same source, Trump handed out copies of the letter he'd sent to Erdogan at today's meeting in what was interpreted as an attempt to show everyone how tough he'd been.

1. The Dunning-Kruger Effect in full bloom.

He doesn't have any clue when he's being completely stupid.

4. I think that's right.

He thinks he is a "stable genius" and that he has "the best words."

It is chilling that such a complete idiot is The President of The United States.

6. Dunning-Kruger effect - Trump is in the majority here.

The Dunning-Kruger effect refers to the seemingly pervasive tendency of poor performers to overestimate their abilities relative to other people–and, to a lesser extent, for high performers to underestimate their abilities.

Trump is in the majority here.

The Donald is not a high performer and definitely does not underestimate his abilities.

5. Damm this reads at the third grade level.

He is so dumb that he can't even see he is dumb. Not only that, the trumpers are just as clueless.

7. Well, that will go over smashingly.

Erdogan will be publicly insulted.
