Trump’s lack of intelligence dwarfs Bush 43’s miniscule IQ. It has become obvious, going back to Ronald Reagan, that Republican voters prefer presidents who are dumber than they are.

“Because the ‘Ratings’ of my News Conferences etc. are so high, ‘Bachelor finale, Monday Night Football type numbers’ according to the @nytimes, the Lamestream Media is going CRAZY,” Trump tweeted. He quoted the Times article in three more tweets, which cited the millions of people who have tuned in for his briefings and a CBS News poll that found Republicans have far more faith in Trump than the news media.

If Trump is not the most illiterate and mentally challenged president in history, I would like anyone to name another who surpasses his level of mental incompetence.

If today’s situation was not so serious, I would be laughing at how unprepared Trump was to handle the current medical crisis facing our nation and the world. Donny Boy’s initial denial was ludicrous. If he had immediately taken action when reports began to come in from China, we might not have 140,570 cases and 2,443 deaths today.

Trump delayed implementing the Defense Production Act for more than a week. If he had taken this single action immediately, every medical supply from masks to ventilators would be in full production and already available in our nation’s hospitals and healthcare facilities. He must accept responsibility for the suffering of thousands of Americans; but he won’t. If he had acted as quickly as the governors of California, New York, and Nevada, the crisis would still exist, but might have been less serious.

The day DJT announced his candidacy in June of 2015 I was aware that he was unqualified and unfit to become our nation’s president. Every day, with his failure to work for the people, he proves that I was right. With every ridiculous and hate-filled tweet I realize he is far worse than I feared.

If you plan to vote for him again in November, it could literally be your own funeral next time.
