How Trump Just Proved He Is History's Most Powerful Idiot

[Zorro]

He sent three stooges to botch talking peace, then went to UFC. He’s blockading a blockade. No one in history comes close to this idiocy

It is well known that Donald Trump covets titles, awards and honors. After all, you do not acquire the FIFA Peace Prize, the first and only trophy for being the “Undisputed Champion of Beautiful Clean Coal,” the Republican Party’s inaugural “America First Award” and someone else’s Nobel Peace Prize in the same year by mere good fortune.

But some would argue these are fake awards. That may be so. But few would deny that there is a real distinction that Trump has in just the past few days Trump has demonstrated he richly deserves.

He is undoubtedly the most powerful idiot in the history of the world.

Both his idiocy and his power are unparalleled. On the latter point, his position as president and commander-in-chief of the most dominant, potent nation confirms that no idiot since the beginning of time has ever been in a position to do so much damage to so many people as a consequence of his idiocy.

On the prior point, just look at the record. The misbegotten, ill-considered, going-from-bad-freaking-worse every damn day War with Iran illustrates Trump’s manifold mental deficiencies with shocking clarity—and, unfortunately for all of us, the damage he is doing seems certain to touch more lives in more egregious ways going forward than it already has.

1. Great piece by Rothkopf. Thanks for sharing, Z.

"No. Here we are dealing not just with mistakes. We are dealing with howlers, impossibly dumb actions followed by even stupider and more destructive steps that only make matters worse."

And the citizens of the world pay the price. And future generations will pay the price...if there are future generations. MAD is on the table in ways it never has been before.
