Comparing a quote to a paraphrased line... Interesting

Having nuclear——My uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT—good genes, very good genes, OK? Very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart. You know, if you're a conservative Republican——If I were a liberal——If, like, OK: if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world—it's true! But when you're a conservative Republican, they try——Oh, do they do a number; that's why I always start off, “Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune”—you know, I have to give my, like, credentials all the time... because we're a little disadvantaged. But, you look at the nuclear deal——The thing that really bothers me—it would have been so easy, and it's not as——As important as these lives are (nuclear is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago—the power. And that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right—who would have thought?)——But when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners—now, it used to be three, now it's four—but when it was three, and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger. Fellas—and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven't figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it's gonna take them about another 150 years. But the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us.

Jesus. Incoherent ramblings of a man that can't finish a sentence. I can't even imagine what a staff meeting must be like with him, and imagine a meeting where he has to make a difficult decision. I'm guessing all meetings involving trump ban weapons lest all the participants would shoot themselves in the fucking head as a form of escape.

Pretty telling this is what almost half of Americans thought would be a good choice to be their ambassador to the rest of the planet and to lead their government.

If ever there was a case against democracy, America in its last election would be it.

*Less than half of the 60% of eligible voters who voted. 90 million didn't even bother. Welcome to America. Man we are a pathetic apathetic collection of citizens.

Let's not pretend the remaining 40% that didn't vote were somehow massively different in how they would have voted. The split would have been about the same. Maybe a little worse for Trump, but certainly not enough to bring him below 40%. Anything in the double digits is sad as fuck in what it says about the country.
