No Cure for the Stupidity of The Flag-Molester-in-Chief

We’re used to his lies. We’re used to his laziness. We’re used to his narcissism. We’re used to his corruption. But his absolute stupidity still has the power to take our breath away.
No Cure for Stupidity
The Flag-Molester-in-Chief is unable to grasp basic facts he's been told repeatedly
| Richard Hine |
According to the recent book A Very Stable Genius, by Philip Rucker and Carol Leonnig of the Washington Post, former White House Communications Director Anthony “The Mooch” Scaramucci once asked Trump if he was just an act and Trump replied: “I’m a total act and I don’t understand why people don’t get it.”
The act continued Saturday, even after the first US death from coronavirus, when Trump went to CPAC. As Slate reported:
At the end of his speech, Trump decided to lovingly caress and kiss the American flag that was on stage while mouthing the words, “I love you, baby.”
On Monday, even as the US death toll rose to six, the act continued at Trump’s rally in North Carolina, where, among other things, he invited YouTube-bloggers-turned-Fox-Nation-hosts Diamond and Silk to the stage and smiled broadly as they did a bit mocking Mike Bloomberg’s height.
Presidential “performances” like these would be bad enough even if the country wasn’t in the midst of a public health crisis that has already been made worse by Trump’s rank incompetence. But the fact is, most people are no longer surprised by Trump’s nonsense.
The One Way He Still Surprises Us.
Trump has been President for more than three years. We’re used to his lies. We’re used to his laziness. We’re used to his narcissism. We’re used to his corruption. But his absolute stupidity still has the power to take our breath away.
Here he is yesterday, before the rally, asking pharmaceutical executives if the proposed coronavirus vaccine could also make a sick person “better, quicker.”
Just to underline the point: We are in the third month of the Coronavirus crisis and Trump still doesn’t understand how vaccines work.
And it gets worse.
By now, almost every cognizant being in America is aware that the timeline for developing, testing, manufacturing and distributing an effective vaccine for COVID-19 will be at least a year.
Except the President.
During the meeting, Trump repeatedly pressed executives to have a vaccine ready in “couple of months” or “a few months.”
At one point Tony Fauci, the director of the National Institute on Allergy and Infectious Disease was forced to interject: “Like I’ve been telling you, Mr. President, a year to a year and a half.”
An Inability to Process New Information
Whatever the causes of Trump’s mental deficiency, this is not the first time he’s demonstrated an inability to absorb facts that don’t match either his personal reality or what he just heard on Fox News.
Some examples:
- In 2013, more than a decade after the Central Park Five (who Trump had wanted to execute) had been exonerated by DNA of the crime for which they were wrongly convicted, Trump was continuing to speak out against them—even going so far as to argue with his own parody account on Twitter about the case.
- To this day, Trump still continues to recycle his claim that Hillary only beat him in the 2016 popular vote because three-to-five million people voted illegally. That’s after his own voter fraud commission ruled that the conspiracy theory had no basis in fact.
- And in the midst of the current coronavirus crisis, Trump stood at the White House podium just last week and told us “nobody knew” that thousands of people died from the flu every year. This one is particularly scary in light of the fact that 4,000 Americans were dying every week at the height of his first flu season, a death toll that potentially included thousands of deaths caused by his own incompetence.
Maybe he was just born stupid. Maybe there’s a medical reason. But Trump’s inability to process and retain new information is becoming a clear and present handicap for a President who will be called upon to make quick decisions during this fast-moving crisis—and others still to come.

American Economic Collapse in 2020
200% Proof Something Will Happen In America Economic Collapse 2020 Stock Market CRASH!
200% Proof Something Will Happen In America Economic Collapse 2020 Stock Market CRASH!

Epic Economist
Is 2020 the year of economic collapse?
The great fathers who founded our nation always referred to debt dependence as a way of stealing from our future generations. For several years, the United States has depended on debt and in 2020; the US is on its way to hit a new record of about $2 trillion dollar in deficit.
This reliance on debt is almost getting out of control not to mention that we will have great trouble if the price of oil hikes.
We are in trouble because the stock market rise is almost becoming unsustainable since the rise has been fueled by continuous pumping of cash into the markets by the Federal Reserve.
If a war erupts with Iran, the Federal Reserve will not be able to finance a war and pump money to the stock market at the same time.
Too many things are at stake at this point a major stock market crash will have to happen.
America is certainly not in an economic collapse now and most likely, the nation may not avoid big economic meltdown for long since the indicators that the nation might find itself in economic collapse are rising exponentially.
The global investors in the bond market are sending a clear message; since the end of July, the long term interest rates have plunged and history has proven that this often precedes decline in economic growth, interest rates reduction by the Federal Reserve.
If key policies are not enacted at this stage, things may get out of hands resulting in a financial collapse and stock market crash.
The Federal Reserve has already pumped $3 trillion dollar into the markets and they are planning to pump more $2.8 trillion dollar.
They are also buying treasuries worth about $60 billion every month.
This indicates that the economic depression has already begun biting and any time, the bubble will burst and it will be obvious that an economic collapse has begun.
However, any time a collapse is about to occur, the elites in the federal reserve always use existing crisis events or even intentionally trigger some events to distract the public attention. Usually, collapse is a process that is difficult for people to notice until it is too late.
Everyone will realize that things are out of control the day we will wake up and realize that the dollar has already lost 50% of its value or if we find out that major exporting countries have rejected the dollar as global payment currency.
There is no limit in the amount of dollars that can be printed and this time around, it will become almost impossible to avoid the dollar collapse. It is not a surprise that most central banks prefer gold over the dollar.
In conclusion, we have a rigged economic model made up of fiat money, poor growth and inefficient policies.
In this condition, it will not take long to find ourselves in a biting economic collapse than what we had back in 2008.
It is clear that a major economic collapse is on the way and we have to be prepared and remain vigilant for any signs of extreme imbalance either in the stock market or the housing market since the things discussed can easily trigger a financial collapse in America.
The system is already broken in many ways and it is crumbling under its weight.
The world is driven by nature’s law and only humans think that they can defy the force of gravity.
From history, we have learned the hard way multiple times that greed always leads to a disastrous ending.
There is a very high chance that the worst economic collapse might happen in 2020. However, even if it does not happen, we should not feel safe because all signs signify that it will happen very soon.
We may not know the exact date but we have all the signs so it is wise that we prepare for the worst.
