The Genius

In Trump's interview by the AP, climate change was one topic. The reporter asked, "Scientists say this is nearing a point where this can’t be reversed.”

The response was, “No, no. Some say that, and some say differently. I mean, you have scientists on both sides of it. My uncle was a great professor at MIT for many years. Dr. John Trump. And I didn’t talk to him about this particular subject, but I have a natural instinct for science, and I will say that you have scientists on both sides of the picture.”
Actually, you have most, about 97%, on the side of serious climate change problems and a very few who disagree. What's this "natural instinct" for science because of an uncle? BTW, Uncle John was an electrical engineer and physicist, not a climatologist.

In the same vein, during the 60 Minutes interview by Lesley Stahl, Trump said that he knows more about NATO than Secretary of Defense James Mattis, a retired Marine Corps general. Mattis served as NATO's Supreme Allied Commander Transformation for almost three years and over 40 years of service in the Marines. There is no way he could have learned anything about NATO. Certainly not more than a genius president who has been in office for about 21 months and has zero military experience.

Name any subject and Trump will claim to be smarter than anyone else. He'll either just know it, have a feeling, a knack, maybe an instinct, or some other divine intervention.

I am amazed that anybody is able to fit into a room occupied by Trump and his ego. Let's all hope that he doesn't have an instinct to use nuclear weapons to solve a problem.

Not only a jenius, but a stable one at that.
