Trump sure seems to instantly know everything about anyone or anything that annoys him – fake press, failing magazines, incompetent CEOs (of successful companies whose internal policies he disagrees with), judges who uphold the law, immigrants (legal or otherwise) and anyone who’s not male and white. He has it on good authority, and can assert confidently (because someone once told him) that they are all very bad people, criminals who he is so knowledgeable about that they should be punished without the pointless formality of a trial.
He apparent knows the legality or otherwise of any act that gets in his way (clearly it’s illegal) or his own actions (clearly legal, by definition).
So, he knows a lot. In fact he’s the cleverest and most knowledgeable person in the room. On the planet, even. He knows everything. He knows more than lawyers, doctors, economists, scientists, on any topic you care to mention.
And yet he remains steadfastly and cravenly ignorant of any attempts to hold him to account for his own actions.
Any of his previously good friends and supporters who now criticize him (I barely knew them, never even met them). Anything about executive orders he’s signed. Whether or not he’s required to uphold the Constitution (remember that oath of office you swore?)
“I don’t know” has become his go-to answer for any embarrassing question.
The most obvious thing that I admit I don’t know right now is – how can anyone still take this “know nothing” President seriously?
