Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said Trump had the understanding of “a fifth- or sixth-grader,” according to accounts of Woodward’s book that were published by The Washington Post.

White House chief of staff John Kelly called Trump “an idiot” and said he thought the president was “unhinged,”

Earlier this year, Michael Wolff detailed in his book “Fire and Fury” that a number of individuals in the Trump administration insulted the president’s intelligence. Both Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and former chief of staff Reince Priebus called Trump an “idiot,” Wolff wrote. Former economic adviser Gary Cohn said Trump was “dumb as :censored2:,” and former national security adviser H.R. McMaster said the president was a “dope,”

Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon said in November 2017 that Trump was “like an 11-year-old child,” according to Vanity Fair.

Former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson in July 2017 called Trump a “maroon,” NBC News reported. The comments came after Tillerson had a meeting at the Pentagon with members of the White House national security team and Cabinet officials.

At a dinner in July 2017, McMaster mocked Trump, also calling him an “idiot,” BuzzFeed News reported. At the dinner, which was with Oracle CEO Safra Catz, McMaster also said Trump was a “dope” with the intelligence of a “kindergartner,” according to that report.

Wrong thread, this is the Biden thread.
Mr. Trump did not seem to know, for example, that Britain is a nuclear power and asked if Finland is part of Russia, Mr. Bolton writes . . . Intelligence briefings with the president were a waste of time “since much of the time was spent listening to Trump, rather than Trump listening to the briefers.”

You want a "Trump" thread.
You're as confused as your president...

From the earliest days of his administration, it has been obvious to everyone who has come in direct contact with him that Trump knows very, very little about any policy issue or even how the federal government operates. Among those most alarmed by Trump’s ignorance and incompetence were those in the military and intelligence community. After a National Security Council meeting on January 19, 2018, Defense Secretary James Mattis told aides that Trump had the understanding of “a fifth- or sixth-grader.”

To this day, Trump pays very little attention to his intelligence briefings. He received repeated warnings about the coronavirus that he completely ignored—at great cost in terms of lives. Long after the seriousness of the pandemic became too serious for him to ignore and after many briefings on the subject, Trump continued to make ridiculous comments about unproven cures, including some that are simply nonsensical.

Sir, this is a Wendy's.

Trump’s mental failings are also painfully clear to foreign diplomats, who are professionally obligated to be frank and clear-eyed about him. Among themselves, diplomats early on shared tips on meeting with Trump: Don’t assume he knows anything about your country, flatter his ego, and be mindful of his extremely short attention span. It often appeared to aides that Trump didn’t even understand that other countries are in different time zones. He quickly became a “laughing stock,” as one unnamed official put it, at international meetings, where diplomats mocked his ignorance and limited vocabulary.

“The president exudes incompetence and instability. Divulging classified information to the Russians through bragging; undermining his staff’s defense of his conduct through inane tweets; even reportedly asking the FBI director to suspend an investigation of a former adviser—all these strike me not so much as malicious but as the ignorant actions of an overwhelmed man. Republicans excuse this behavior as Trump being Trump, but that will only embolden voters who seek greater accountability to choose further change over stability. The sad reality is that the greatest defense of the president available at this point is one his team could never give on the record: He is an idiot who does not know any better.”

Erick Erickson, former CEO of the popular Redstate.com

I'm thinking he might be filling this Biden thread with Trump stuff for the same reason Biden has been filling his speeches in support of Terry McAuliffe with Trump stuff. Democratic policies and agendas have clearly been a failure since Biden entered office and a rallying cry of "TRUUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMP" is all they've got left to fall back on.

And I do not like Trump in any way.

Very strange. Do you think Mr @fishtm2001 knows Trump is no longer president?
Or is TDS just very strong in him?

I'm not sure what's going on since my strong dislike of Trump isn't helping me understand why fish is doing what he's doing today. I'd probably ask my doctor for some meds if I started doing it.

He could just be very nervous about the election in Virginia on Tuesday. This might be his outlet, 3 year old style.

Well here's a guess. Since the post is about Biden and incompetency the last, twice impeached, never won the popular vote guy should be in play.
