Brinkley: Nothing Else Like Trump's 'Cavernous Stupidity' In U.S. History | The 11th Hour | MSNBC
I knew he was stupid, but this is on a totally different level of stupid.
SouthSide Chicago – now they’re all lashing out at you for telling the truth 😂 must’ve stuck a cord.
el bee tank yuo
el bee actually it’s your as used in the original statement -“your problem is ? “Which denotes ownership of said problem not you’re which is short for you are – like hey el bee! YOU’RE wrong in YOUR correction, and YOU’RE stupid !!!
@Will W actually will it would most likely mean its opinion being shown as facts, bold face lies, bias reporting , unfair coverage, or taken out of context which pretty much covers all your favorite news networks
MCE…you ARE STUPID…IRRATIONAL…FULL OF HATE…missed the point…the truth ..100%
…I am very liberal…a scientist…I did not miss it!!
If he’s joking, he’s dangerous, stupid, inappropriate. If he’s serious, he’s dangerous, stupid, inappropriate. Same same.
I completely agree. His behavior is inexcusable regardless of motivation.
@Jenny K No way was he joking. He’s a f*cking liar. And yes dangerous, stupid and irresponsible.
Steven Schulte well said.
😏Exactly! Thank you
People are dying. There’s no room and time to be sarcastic in this time of pandemic. Excuses… excuses
@Top Comment I know you’re trying to be a sarcastic troll but no. You just sound like a d*ckhead. Go and play with your toys.
Dennet Lane
No I’m not being sarcastic. This is not a time to be sarcastic. People are dying. Because you know, in 2019, people were not dying. That is why 2019 was such a sarcastic year.
Top Comment Wow! you’re really that stupid. Do me a favor and listen to Trump about injecting Lysol or bleach into your body and let see what happens to you. Bye Felicia
Jasper Tedder
Wow you really are that stupid. Trump never mentioned a word about Lysol or bleach. But keep believing your fake news. Oh and by the way… you just used sarcasm, you f*cking hypocrite. People are dying.
Jasper Tedder what else can anyone say to this moron?
Guys when he said “make america great again” he was just being sarcastic
TRUE !
@biggavelle11 America was a *SHITHOLE* under the illegally selected native son of Kenya, Obama.
@PAjeannie66 Kenya’s native son, Obumer, made America a *SHITHOLE*
Yes, you are right. In reality, he thought: ” (I will) MAKE AMERICA PAY AGAIN (and I will feel great feeling my power to manipulate these American simpletons).
@Gerald Lindenberg Your *Trump Derangement Syndrome* is so bad that you can’t even make sentences that make sense.
Do we need a president that jokes about a pandemic that has killed thousands in US??
Sounds like Q anon nonsense.
Henry King please post evidence that Bill Gates created a pandemic. What absolute BS!,
@Nic Hall prove he didn’t, why would his foundation be only interested in controling seeds and disease then? Out of humanity sake, doubt it?
@Nic Hall post evidence he didnt pathetic fool!
Wheatie Sweetie post evidence he did moron!!
It’s for people like him that they put warning labels on things.
@Jana Schwehm ah the good ol trump voters are stupid put down.. lol thats funny and idiotic and unoriginal. Am I now a bot as well. or a troll. lol you dems are so stupid you just gobble up the garbage and follow whatever the left says. thats blind stupidity and that is whats wrong with America.
@ThumperOne It’s better to lose your job than your mind.
Yes, but how does on get them to READ the labels?
Gisa W Slonim wtf does that even say ? 😂
Jacki Sears that’s good… did you write that yourself ? Can I use it ?
his tag line of ” look look” is when he has no idea where he was going with his conversation. Then he brings out the accordion hands and starts waving those things around.
God…I hate the accordion hands. It’s like he’s playing ‘Lady of Spain’ on his own magic invisible accordian. Yetch.
Donald “Clump” Freudian slip? 😂
America’s contribution to the Coronavirus pandemic: Shoot up with Lysol and shine a flashlight up your a_s.
@heckenprunzer – no reason to reason with a Trumper – all sanity was lost when they voted for the buffoon in 2016 and so is my respect for any Trump voter …
H.U. Schubert I had to remove a family member from my facebook because I was uncomfortable with him because I realized he was a Trump supporter and not just being funny. He has three teen girls and didn’t even care that Trump was accused of raping a 13 year old girl who had 2 witnesses and a believable story since it was when Trump was buddy buddy with a known pedophile.
voltron422 ….not our problem, if you have time to troll here then you have enough time to find it, or do you want to live in dark the rest of your dumb life?
@ChaoticAngelKitten Bless you for doing the Right Thing.
Make America Great Again – DUMP TRUMP! Sometimes you have to take a stand. Even if it’s a stand against your own family.
‘cavernous stupidity”. LOVE that phrase, so descriptive.
So accurate, so descriptive, so timely!
He shouldn’t wear a mask , he should wear a gag.
henri matisse because everything that comes out of his mouth dirty and unclean.
@Truth Sayer So true. My nephew, age 4, has more knowledge than this oaf!
His face mask should be black with a big red X in the middle, to warn everyone what’s behind it is dangerous and toxic.
No,a plastic bag
Compromise: a mask with no mouth hole.
They forgot childish, peevish and petulant. All good qualities for a5 year old
A sociopath really doesn’t care how they’re being talked about as long as they are the center of attention.
@tbird90sc how so? I mean back up your claim instead of spouting ignorance.
Psychopaths are the stone cold killers.
@Charles Paradise Either he’s a sociopath or a man-child. Either way, making jokes about a pandemic is insensitive and STUPID.
That’s right, and that is what he is about.
Sociopaths are supposed to be smart…
“Donald Clump” is much more fitting.
@Wheatie Sweetie It was a simple question. No sure it they would want a bj from skank Hillary. But Hillary
did sell uranium to Putin. Of course, Putin had to make a donation to the Clinton Foundation for a few billion dollars.
Donald Duck is much more fitting
@Long Range Rifle maybe if Mao were alive, moron, he’s been dead for years.Even if he did blow Putin, it wouldn’t be near as professional as you deep throating “Fat Donny” Drumpf, or Drumpf kneeling for kim jong un.
Or Donald Crump.
@Make America Great Again – DUMP TRUMP!
LOL by voting for a member of the
*American Communist Party*
aka commie democRats.
“I haven’t touched my face in weeks. I miss it!”
That’s actually pretty funny.
Cause after November, I sure won’t
That’s why Trump doesn’t wear a face mask – he’s afraid of touching that filthy, ugly, diseased, pinata that’s attached itself to the front of his Fake Head.
for a person with zero sense of humor he sure says he jokes alot
Think about this for a minute, a Presidential Historian describes this man having “CAVERNOUS STUPIDITY”. Funny & terrorfying at the same time.😂😯
Garry Williams Sr. It’s also “terrifying”!
See how terrified I am it’s affecting my spelling.😯
when he said “make america great again” he was just being sarcastic
Blue’s NASA talk EXACTLY 💯💯💯
You say sarcastic and I say Psychotic
You say he’s stable and I say quixotic
Stable, Quixotic, genius, idiotic
Oh let’s hope the whole thing’s a joke!
He does not display much of a sense of humor. However, give him this much, he is a pretty big joke.
Agent orange. The Elvis of American presidents. “I was kidding…” “being sarcastic…” Yea, right. Like when you misspoke in Helsinki?
TRUMP: “Yes, I misspoke in Helsinki. It was all just fun and jokes.”
REPORTER: “But Helsinki was a world summit, peace-making convention, not a free-for-all comedy contest, Mr. Trump.”
TRUMP: “Yes, you are absolutely right. I accomplished a lot in Helsinki, and I am proud of my work as the world genius. Anyway, whose brilliant idea was it to name the place Helsinki? He sure wouldn’t last long on my staff.”
