Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsTrump always sounds like a fifth grader faking a book report.
He has no idea what is going on, he skims the surface of issues. His lack of knowledge and comprehension is filled with "filler words" to take the place of meaningful discussion.
When he is standing next to foreign leaders, men and women who have studied and understand the world, he reveals himself as a complete embarrassment to our country.
King Abdullah must be thinking "My father must be turning in his grave knowing I have to deal with this idiot!" He must have very good manners to be bolstering him.

(5,603 posts)It's incredible. It's unbelievable. It's yuge. It's fantastic. Okay, I think I just exhausted his vocabulary.

(804 posts)has figured out how to deal with 45. You manipulate him with flattery and let him know you are "totally with him". Did you notice that in that press conference Trump looked almost surprised (or shocked) that the King was saying nice things about him? 45 immediately reached over to shake his hand. If Russia can manipulate him, so can the US allies, even if they have to swallow before they can talk nice about him. Good for the King! 45 will be loyal to whomever gives him enough positive attention. Hopefully our Western allies saw this too and know now the best way to deal with the "Liar in Chief" is to flatter him.

(220 posts)He complimented the orange one so much that Trump must have thought he was at a rally. Then he started his usual schtick about OBama, playing to the crowd. This king knows how to handle himself.

(19,066 posts)And he probably goes to sleep at night dreading having to talk to all the smart people each day. He knows he's a fraud.

(25,855 posts)to smart people. He honestly thinks he's as smart as they are. He relishes speaking with them, because he's always certain he's the smartest man in the room.
If he actually knew he was a fraud, there'd be some hope that he'd be willing to learn, but since he already thinks he knows everything about everything, his ignorance will simply grow.

(26,371 posts)that he sounds like a fratboy trying to write an exam essay on something he didn't read.
I've been teaching nearly thirty years--I know that style very well.

(14,149 posts).... any knowledge, intellect or an iota of deep thinking or wisdom.
A mirage of the persona of hyper macho masculinity and more like a hollowed, scared, vacant, lonely empty soul.
All self inflicted due to his habitual self aggrandizement.

The preview is not recognizing the embed from youtube or my browser has gone wacky. They are clips from Daffy Duck cartoons. One is "I wasted 26 seconds of your life", the other is from "Duck Amuck".
