The wetness comment always bugs me. Wetness is an actual measurement taken into account during storms of this type. Maybe he didn't word it 100% correctly but this comment isn't nearly as stupid as it sounds (very).
You don't make typo's?
Granted he shouldn't be tweeting like he does, and if he needs to he should use spellcheck, but he's like 76 and still uses twitter. Typo's are expected.
First of all, the "Obama wasn't good without a teleprompter" stuff is a lie made up by right-wing radio to make people think he was stupid.
Secondly, it's easy to win over a stupid crowd that already adores you by rambling nonsense and dogwhistles for two hours.
He owns a skyscraper in the most expensive real-estate market on the planet...seems like he might know some things I definitely don't.
It's a goddamn Cat 3-4 hurricane, of course it's going to be wet.
Yeah, you can word something poorly, but still have more vocabulary skills than a fourth grader so you don't call things like the ocean "big water"
Taking time to think of what to say and filling in the gaps with nonsense are not one in the same.Yeah clearly Trump is always playing to his base and knows how to do that pretty well. Just people wanting to hear from a very successful person the things they already think. I get that.
Obama is super smart, much smarter than us, and smarter than Trump. But he was still infamously stuttery outside the context of speeches.
Oh my lordThe closest thing I can compare it to is Civil War battles where they say, "This was the bloodiest battle". Of course it's bloody, but bloodiness is an actual historical measurement term that many don't know about...it's unsurprising to me that Trump said "Wetness from the standpoint of water" and people jumped to call him stupid once again.
It's like when the he said something about Canadians burning down the white house, and everyone laughed and laughed at how dumb he is. Nope, you're wrong, Canadians WERE the ones who burned down the white house.

Does this look like someone who struggles to come up with content without a teleprompter?
He's graduated from just referring to black politicians this way!
Also, Trump is very very funny. Not in a cynical, "Haha look at this idiot" kind of way, but every once in a while he gets a pretty good zinger out or says something hilarious. Being funny is a pretty good indicator of intelligence.
I can't say for sure, but I am guessing yes. It's his greatest hit for Maxine Waters, that much we know.Exactly what I was thinking. Is this the first time he used this insult on a white person?
If he called me smart I'd be expecting a subpoena soonImagine being told you're dumb by Trump. My god.
Like a journalist should just ask him an easy capital city question. Or anything at all about the constitution.
I think you're digging too deep, here: He knows that people think he's a fucking idiot (which is absolutely accurate), so he's projecting as a defense mechanism... Because deep down, he knows he's not very bright.
Person that is hiding all his grades and SAT scores calling someone low iQ. [/surejan.gif]
I was there in person laughing my ass off during the whole debate. Most of the people there were like "Biden was too mean". It's like what? He's just calling out the bullshit.Yeah, I dont want Biden to be President but I'd love to see Trump try to debate him. Paul Ryan and Biden's debate that one year was absolutely hilarious, as I remember.
This goes over well as a punchline but doesn't actually hold much merit. Trump could have above average grades and still be politically savaged over them. Anything less than straight A's across the board or a perfect SAT score is fodder for the media and would show weakness. It's like the Warren DNA test... even though it showed she was technically part Cherokee, it wasn't the slam dunk needed to avoid negative press.
I have to say, for being an otherwise massive buffoon, Trump does seem to have some political savvy... though I'd wager it's tied more to a narcissistic disorder than being a calculated political mastermind. Either that or some very manipulative advisers are working miracles behind the scenes getting him in line.
