Part of the problem is that Trump is dumb.

[madaboutharry]

He is all the things people say; racist, a liar, narcissistic, immature, cruel....the list is long. Yet underneath it all is a baseline of stupidity that everything else is built upon. His lack of intellect and his unawareness of his intellectual limitations is what puts us all in danger.

This press conference is just another moment when this is on display.

[samnsara]

1. I'm too embarrassed to even watch it..

[Ilsa]

3. It is hard to watch. What he

doesn't know, he lies about. And his vocabulary is so limited. And he fluffs up his sentences with a handful of repeated superlatives.

[madaboutharry]

5. You missed the part when he called CNN fake news,

claimed his interview in The Sun is fake news and that he didn't insult Prime Minister May, and repeated that immigrants are ruining European culture.

8. I have never been more embarrassed then I have been today

after watching this press conference. It amazes me how people are not laughing out loud in his stupid face at this traitorous umpa lumpa!

[leftstreet]

2. Worse, he's completely incurious

[Wounded Bear]

4. He's insecure...

and he doesn't understand that anybody with a reasonable knowledge of human behavior can spot that in him immediately.

The way he acts screams out: Hey! Look at me! I'm the best! when in fact everyone can tell that he's a money-grubbing cretin who fell into a plumb job with a little help from his Russian friends.

[kentuck]

6. And he over-compensates with bullshit.

One lie after another.....no one can keep up. Then he turns on the bullshit. It's impossible to define as anything other than a mental illness.

[Meadowoak]

7. Exactly why Putin chose him for his useful idiot!

[dalton99a]

10. Yep. A perfect choice indeed

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

9. He's dumb and mean, which is why the deplorables love him.

[OnDoutside]

11. Yes but he is the logical conclusion of poisonous politics and apathetic voters.

[BSdetect]

12. Please never invent any drug that prolongs life for such an arsehole.
