Among the explosive revelations in The Daily Intelligencer‘s excerpt from Michael Wolff’s new book about President Donald Trump was the fact that Trump got so bored during an explanation of the U.S. Constitution that aide Sam Nunberg threw in the towel at the Fourth Amendment.

...

“Everybody in his rich-guy social circle knew about his wide-ranging ignorance,” wrote Wolff. “Early in the campaign, Sam Nunberg was sent to explain the Constitution to the candidate.”

“I got as far as the Fourth Amendment,” Nunberg told Wolff, “before his finger is pulling down on his lip and his eyes are rolling back in his head.”

1. "wide-ranging ignorance"

2. My Dog Has More Intellectual Curiosity than DT

At least she wants to know how other dogs’ butts smell.

8. At least my dog made it

through the 7th Amendment

9. Your dog would make a better president than DT

What your dog ate yesterday and left on the lawn today would make a better president than DT.

3. Knowing nothing about anything, he plunges bravely forward.

A jerk of all trades, you might say.

(But he DID get a neatness award in military school!)

4. Compared to him, Palin is a genius. n/t

5. I'd take Trumps side in this.

This guy Nunberg is from the ACLJ. The ACLJ is a religious far right organisation. He's a theocrat. He's a terrible choice to explain the constitution. It'd be more like indoctrination than explanation.

6. Hmmm...didn't he take an oath to protect the U.S. Constitution?

This HAS to be an impeachable offense. He doesn't even understand what is written on that founding paper!

7. The only way I'll believe that

is if they started with the Amendments. There is no way Donnie Dumbfuck sat through an explanation of the seven Articles of the Constitution, and the first three Amendments.

[mythology]

10. I don't even think they did the three previous amendments

Trump clearly doesn't understand the 1st amendment.

11. If it is in a book, it must be true, right?

[shanny]

12. Surprised they got that far

unless they started with the 2nd.

13. Let's hope this means he doesn't know what "taking the fifth" is

His Twitter behaviour does indicate he doesn't understand what "self-incrimination" is.

14. Why does a dictator need to understand the constitution?

[Jim Lane]

15. Trump probably remembers the three-fifths clause and nothing else. (n/t)
