"I'm smart. . . . Not like everybody said." . . . Please come CAPTION Donald Trump!

[skip fox]

Donald ("The best education is money" ) Trump is saying: "And here's a thought I just had this morning: Student SWAT squads! . . . Is that great or what? . . . I mean if the kids care so much about other kids. . . . And if some get shot, heck, they'd get shot anyway. . . . And we'd be saving on Social Security and Medicare and Medicaid. . . . Big time. . . It's WIN-WIN_WIN the way I see it. . . . How come nobody else can think of these things? . . . Is everyone brain dead but me?"

3. If this is satire

Then I am laughing.

If he actually said this

Then I am crying

8. CAPTIONing at DU has traditionally been a creative sport,

but we try to channel our subjects' essence to satirize their stupidity, hypocrisy, cupidity, gullibility, etc.

So, laugh away . . .

(But keep a crying towel handy.)

"It ain't the way I wanted it! I can handle things. I'm smart.
Not like everybody says, like dumb. I'm smart."

9. If you listen to it, as I did this a.m., I think he says "said," not "says.

But I think they wisely left the "error" in, slightly disrupting the smoothness of address to indicate the sharpness of the frustration that leads to the tongue-tripping we often do at such points.

5. He actually did say this....

"Look, having nuclear—my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart—you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world—it’s true!—but when you're a conservative Republican they try—oh, do they do a number—that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune—you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged—but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me—it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are (nuclear is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right—who would have thought?), but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners—now it used to be three, now it’s four—but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years—but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us."

Watch.....

Makes Bush look like Demosthenes

7. if I had friends that spoke like donnie two scoops

they would not be my friends, or family for that matter.

Intelligence does matter, I don't want my bozo cousin from East Yahoo in the Oval Office.
