    He doesn’t give a rat’s ass and neither do the American people. Most of his voters don’t know the difference between Balkan and Baltic... it just means weird quasi Europeans.

    The 35% of Americans that know the difference were never going to vote for him anyway.

    I don’t think that many Americans know the difference. But there’s a difference between Steve the car salesman and the potus.

    Overall, Americans' knowledge of geography matches their interest: practically nil. If you asked many about it they'd say, "It doesn't directly affect me, so why does it matter?" Whether this is a defense mechanism to deflect from ignorance or an actual opinion, it's fairly sad.

    Keep on underestimating Trump's followers. It didn't work out too well last time.

    Trust me, I don’t think people will underestimate the ignorance of Trump supporters ever again.

    Ok. I don't really care to allow myself to get drawn in again. There's really no point in it.

    Come on, you set yourself up for that one! :D

    And for the record I have plenty of friends who are intelligent and support Trump. I actually agree with them on a lot of things policy wise but for some reason they think Trump is the answer and I’ll never understand it.

    He was given multiple chances to name his favorite book in the Bible, and he kept saying "The Bible." No one expects him to know anything, even his evangelical base -- that's not why they voted for him.

    LOL. I caught that. It wasn't that. I told myself I was going to leave D&D last week. Just tired of it. I won't be surprised if someone chimes in to drop some insult. No big deal.

    Saturday, on the East side of Houston, I drove past one of those big digital screen billboards with an ad for some Baptist church that consisted of a giant photo of Trump with the caption, "The Word Made Flesh."

    I literally almost drove into another car. Honking ensued. I think my jaw must have dropped onto the accelerator or something.

    Lower as in an open sewer running through the Oval Office, under the control of a "man" who knows next to nothing about the world, unless there's a buck in it for him.
