Out of his mind, is more like it …
Joy Reid featured an exchange on a right wing radio show this week:
CALLER: “Maybe they could make some sort of vape that could help people, you know, that would atomize chemicals into your lungs and you could blow it out your nose, but uh thinking outside the box is what we need to do now and no one seems to want to do it. I don’t know if I’m crazy.
HOST: No, you’re not, Zack, you’re not crazy, and bingo – you said the word, you said the phrase. Thank you for that call. Thinking outside the box. That’s literally what the president was doing yesterday That’s what a good chief executive does.
They don’t know the difference between “thinking outside the box” and thinking like a 3rd grader who was held back two grades. Most adults with a high school education, a rudimentary knowledge of science and a modicum of common sense know it was a monumentally ignorant, downright infantile “idea.” It tracks with all the reporting that has Trump saying ridiculous things in meetings such as comparing the Afghanistan problem with closing down the 21 Club for renovation and ordering the pentagon to bring the nuclear arsenal to 1960s cold-war level.
The man is a fucking moron.
The problem with this exchange, of course, is that the host probably knows better (maybe not …) but is reinforcing Trump’s puerile babble to keep the cult on board. These opportunists, accomplices and henchmen are just plain evil.
