It is downright scary when the Speaker of the House Paul Ryan says that much of the improper behavior of the President is due to inexperience being "new to the job". They are basically saying they helped elect a man unprepared and not ready for this important position. As I was always told, ignorance of the law is no defense.
Meanwhile HRC's excuse for what she did with her email server was ignorance and you on the Left thought she was STILL the most qualified person ever. Hilarious stuff here.
In the face of all that Donald Trump has brought to the presidency, I was baffled why people who Trump, who he has proven, at best, are very low on his priority list, loyally support him. Some of what I see here is probably just provocation intended to get people upset. But I think some are actually loyal supporters.
In trying to understand why there are blind supporters, I tried to understand Trump. There was a common theme in much of what he said - fear. Many politicians use fear to get votes but with Trump I think it's very real.
There have been times I thought Trump had a less than average IQ, sometimes way below average. He is where he is because he's an amazing salesman, but you don't have to be intelligent to achieve that. But when I factored in fear I wondered just how much it paralyzes him and his ability to think.
It is now pretty well known Trump has problems concentrating. I thought that was a sign of low IQ. But it could very well be that paranoia consumes so much of his thinking, it's difficult to concentrate on anything else.
It doesn't appear to me Trump is highly intelligent, average maybe, but not highly. What I will probably never know is how much fear consumes his ability to function at the level his IQ is capable of functioning. So I'll withhold believing he has a low IQ.
As far as ignorant - AKA uneducated - he has certainly proven that he is uneducated about government and world affairs. But I wouldn't chalk that up to low intelligence.
Why? Associate Justice Neil Gorsuch. You can't compare President Trump with a mainstream political Republican but rather who Secretary Clinton would have nominated given the chance. Should Justice Gorsuch turn like H. W. Bush's appointment did then there will be an reassement

So, we must assume Gorsuch is great unless proven otherwise. Trump said he would appoint someone to fight Roe vs Wade, and the first thing Gorsuch says, if that he has no intention to revisit it.

I don't like it, but Trump was a legally democratically elected President and he is very popular. Maybe after Trump we can look at amending the Constitution to require people have some kind of political or military experience before they can be President, but as is, Trump meets all of the qualifications to hold the office and has done nothing wrong.
Ignorance is no excuse. If you don't know the lay of the land, you take people with you who do. Comey is not known as a liar. Trump has a long history of lies. It has been shown over and over again, long before he ran for public office.
I agree.
And with regard to Paul Ryan's "he's new at this defense"; Trump was certainly aware that the Tarmac meeting between B Clinton and Lynch was inappropriate and looked really bad. Yet when it comes to HIS OWN shady dealing with the FBI Director, Trump claims stupidity.

this is why some on the left refused to come out and vote for her...
doesn't make Trump any better tho.
