1. Twump has a copy of the Declaration of Independence behind a curtain

so he'll never have to read it.

[PJMcK]

26. Can Trump even read? (n/t)

[vapor2]

41. Remember his 1st term, staff had to read and use pictures

for his Presidential Daily briefings?

3. Sad and disgusting!

I hope that somehow the Swamp will get rid of him. May he sink up to his chin in quicksand. Same goes for Eloon.

4. Would love to hear from MAGA base

What do MAGA think the Declaration of independence mean?

[Aristus]

8. Just as the MAGAts forget the "A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state" part of the

Second Amendment to the U.S Constitution, they likely only remember the "Merciless Indian savages" part of the Declaration of Independence.

[IronLionZion]

16. It means DEI because it has a D and an I

[Magoo48]

28. I was under the impression the heavily armed MAGAts were supposed to protect us from tyranny.

31. Nick Cage is on it

[NBachers]

33. Shit, they think he nailed it and made the other guy look like a fool! They're pumping their fists in the air.

[genxlib]

5. Double or nothing

I bet he couldn't name the Ten Commandments either.

I would be surprised if he could get to eight

[rurallib]

11. I am guessing he knows only one

Worship the Orange Gawd

[ShazzieB]

21. True

He would have major trouble with that "have no other gods before me" sfuff. I'm surprised he hasn't tried to have that one removed from the Bible.

[Wiz Imp]

22. 8?? Hell. I bet he can't name a single one.

[Disaffected]

6. Now, that is good...

[malaise]

10. That is all

7. Clearly the stupidest bastard ever to sit in the Oval Office.

[Emile]

46. Yep, George W had that title for a little while.

[Torchlight]

13. Their best man is a degenerate idiot.

It speaks silent volumes that he reflects their passions and agendas so well. I'm guessing that by June, the right wing will be testing lines like "stop shaming people's degeneracy" to see if it gains any traction.

[patphil]

14. I'm beginning to worry that Trump will be another Reagan, and slip further into dementia as his term goes on.

By the end, Reagan was used as a prop, with the office of the president actually being run by committee.
Trump sounds more like a babbling idiot each day.

[mokeyz]

17. why do people think he has dementia?

he is the same arrogant, moronic, ignorant, narcissistic asshole he has always been.

[Farmer-Rick]

34. Look at old videos of pedo Trump talking

You can see the difference immediately.

He speaks slower now, he speaks in mostly a weak almost frail voice, except when he's angry. His vocabulary is noticably diminished. He stumbles over words much more often. He leaves sentences hanging more often. He speaks in fragmented sentences much more often.

Plus he blatantly lies and makes up crap in about every 5th sentence, or sentence fragment. Before he would at least get the basic facts correct.

And he lies just about everything. Before he use to lie just about crap that made him look good or bad. Now he lives in fantasy land where just about every idea that is able to escape his empty head is not true.

Because Trump is usually angry, rude and mean people think he's strong. But the man is cookoo for coco puffs. He intimidates with his nastiness and people are afraid to question him.

15. My gawd

What an ignorant piece of shift. Love the W. Xpexssion of the reporter’s face. Not much hope for the USA switch having leaders like the repukes. In. Charge of all the different Departments..

18. Got news for you, he doesn't give a crap, what is says.

19. You missed it

He doesn't care.

[republianmushroom]

37. You are correct. Corrected it, thank you.

[Ohioboy]

20. Hey tRump, it's a declaration against a tyrannt!

Don't make us have to write an updated version, you idiot!

[highplainsdem]

23. Colbert showed that clip from the interview, too. Hilarious/mind-boggling/outrageous, all at once.

[ShazzieB]

24. He likes to use words like "beautiful" and "special" when he talks about something he knows nothing about.

Reminds me of when he called the Battle of Gettysburg beautiful. No, Donald, that battle was anything but beautiful. It was a freaking 3 day blood bath in which between 46,000 and 51,000 soldiers from both armies were casualties, the most costly in US history. Idiot. Nice try, peabrain.

44. Appalling ignorance is just one of his many outstanding qualities

Pathological liar
Malignant narcissist
Power hungry megalomaniac
Vindictive bully
Sociopath
Sexual predator
Racist

[ShazzieB]

49. The most appalling thing about his ignorance is that he would rather die than admit it, even to himself.

A person who freely admits they don't know everything and shows a willingness to learn can be educated. Because of his extreme narcissism, Trump is impervious to being educated. His fragile ego dictates that he ALWAYS has to be right, and those around him have to at least pretend that he is always right or else they are ejected from his presence (as all those he fired during his first administration found out, and many more will learn the hard way in this administration).

In short, his ignorance is a serious problem, and his narcissism makes it an insurmountable one. The irony is that things he does to cover his insecurity, such as bragging about how "smart" he is, refusing to take advice, and pretending he knows things he doesn't know, just make him look even more stupid than admitting the limits of his knowledge would.

[Martin Eden]

50. And, ultimately (hopefully) willful ignorance will be his downfall

The question is how much of our civic institutions and standing in this world will he bring down with him.

Significant damage has already been done.

[Mblaze]

25. Trump is sure talking about love a lot lately -

He must be playing tennis again. That's the only reason I can think of. 😀

27. Terry Moran is heroic!

35. It's a long-standing tradition for Republicans not to know the Declaration or the Constitution. From 2009:

Yes, I know, it's from Politico, but the information is nonetheless solid, having been taken from a TV clip on Bonehead that I remember seeing at the time:


Boehner mixes up Constitution and Declaration

By MARTIN KADY II

11/05/2009 02:29 PM EST

House Minority Leader John Boehner was fired up and ready to go at the Tea Party rally today.

He even held up his pocket copy of the Constitution, pledging to "stand here with our Founding Fathers, who wrote in the pre-amble: 'We hold these truths to be self evident ..."

Right, Bonehead, except that your quote was from the Declaration of Independence of 1776, not the pre-amble to the Constitution from 1787. Republican "patriots" like to wave the flag a lot, but knowing what it actually stands for, to them, is above and beyond the call of duty.

[UTUSN]

36. But he and MAHER had in common their deep knowledge of American history!!!!!!1

[leftyladyfrommo]

38. Just tell him Two Corinthians. He won't

know the diffrence.

[tanyev]

40. In Donald Trump's world the Declaration of Independence says whatever he wants it to say.

Facts are irrelevant.

[mountain grammy]

42. Anyone know why he keeps a curtain in front of it?

[Wiz Imp]

53. Because he thinks it's an original copy

That would need to be protected from damage by the lights, etc. thankfully the national archive is smart enough not to let him anywhere near the original.

[B.See]

43. I'd lay odds that the clown

doesn't know the words to the national anthem or the Pledge of Allegiance... and I'm sure Mr.'Christian' doesn't know The Lord's Prayer. So expecting him to have even a CLUE about the Declaration of Independence is asking much.

[Martin Eden]

45. The clown's closest associates would not take that bet

They know he is appallingly ignorant and has no interest in learning about America's founding documents and principles.

[keep_left]

47. Anyone remember when Trump couldn't quote a single passage...

...from the Bible--either Old or New Testament--even when he was among his friends in the religious right? And this occurred on at least two occasions; one of them was during a fawning interview with the sycophantic Raymond Arroyo on the EWTN (radtrad Catholic) network.

[Ping Tung]

48. Most of the time he doesn't even know what his mouth says.

51. What does this tell you about Trump 's supporters?

[Blue Owl]

52. What a fucking National embarassment
