Trump ‘an enormous child’
A definition of ignorance: “lacking knowledge, information, or awareness about something in particular.” I am convinced that not only is Trump ignorant by this definition but so are his supporters, who continue to ignore his many lies and incompetent actions, his atrocious political appointments as he fills the swamp, his misguided foreign policy and the list goes on. Every Republican in the House and Senate, led by Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell who also continue to back Trump, are ignorant.
Trump is a serious threat to the stability of this country and its citizens. He is inarticulate, unsophisticated, unknowledgeable, arrogant, childish, petty and highly unqualified to lead this country. Because he talks big, makes asinine statements that are fact-free and hurls insults at individuals, groups and even other nations, his ignorant supporters stand behind him. Anyone can stand up and make all sorts of empty promises, which Trump did during the campaign and is still doing. But those who deal in facts and reality realize how bad he is. The real patriots are those who recognize Trump as a fake.
Recently, Columnist Mark Shields on PBS’ “NewsHour” referred to Trump as an “enormous child!” Sad but true.
