It's a way of dismissing them without dealing with them or addressing the issue. The problem is that so many of them are not morons.

Seems like the correct word for many of these folks.

moron: "a person who is notably stupid or lacking in good judgment"

I mean many of them think Trump is capable, trustable, etc...

That seems the epitome of "lacking good judgment".

Do people really think Trump is capable? Trustable?

In Russia today, speaking out freely is dangerous, and so you don't see a lot of it. Over the weekend, I watched a lot of Russia Today, and I didn't see a lot of criticism of Putin's policy. But one area where communication is free is in the markets. The stock market does not lie. And Russian stocks are crashing.

People tell us they think Trump is a great businessman. People tell us they trust Donald Trump. But how many of them would loan Trump money? Trump bonds are available for sale. You can buy them for pennies on the dollar. Do any Trump's strongest supporters own them? Would they put them in their retirement fund? Do you know of any single Trump fan who has Trump bonds in their kids' college fund?

Seemingly they do... They trust his endorsements and voted for him.

And no idea...

They vote for a guy they wouldn't lend twenty bucks to. Go figure.

The guy I feel sorry for is Putin. Trump and others assured him that President Biden was a weak leader. They promised. Now he runs a country where the ATM machines don't work.

Maybe Jerry would be willing to invest his money in a Trump business venture... :-O

I have been talking elsewhere about the central role played by the European Union in the response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. I am often amazed by what people don't know, in the case, what they should know by a daily reading of The New York Times. At an early meeting with Angela Merkel, Donald Trump kept returning to the notion of having a separate trade agreement with Germany. Merkel had to explain to him, several times I have heard, that Germany could not conclude a separate trade agreement with the US, that for that he had to deal with the EU.

I have thought about that in the context of the current crisis. We are told frequently that President Biden is a "weak" president without, it seems to me, anyone really thinking about what that means or what it might mean. Mr. is politically weak, of course. His margin of the support in the house is too narrow, and he has no margin at all in the senate where he has to rely on the vote of his vice president, and the whims of two unreliable senators, in the face of a unified party opposition. There isn't much he can do about that, The only senators he has a hand in choosing are the two from Delaware.

But in terms of running America's foreign policy, he shows no signs of weakness at all. The western response to the invasion of Ukraine has been superb, far beyond what anyone expected two weeks ago. Putin, hailed as a genius by Mr. Biden's predecessor, looks to everyone else in the world to be weak and foolish, completely out of his depth in dealing with a modern economy. Could Trump have put together such a response?
