Today's Doonesbury Say What

"I think a president should not have learning disabilities, okay?... Gavin Newsom admitted that he has learning disabilities, dyslexia -- everything about him is dumb."
-- Trump

"We have a smart president, whereas in the past we've had dumb presidents."
-- JD Vance

So let's see. We have a governor who has overcome a learning disability to become very high achieving, versus someone with, as far as we know, no learning disability who has achieved very little and instead chosen to do nothing except bully, extort, rape, molest, steal, threaten, belittle, insult, and I could go on. And we also have a lackey who changes political positions with the slightest change in the wind. Said lackey who also failed to learn from his predecessor that he's likely to get thrown under the bus the moment that the going gets tough for his boss.

Truly a pair made for each other.

Nobody pressed them for details abbot why they thought these things, Even knowing that what they would gear would mostly be word salad and worse?

Not that these are credible people whose assessments of anyone's intelligence should be believed, but this seems like one of the classic examples of giving someone enough yarn to unravel their own sweater.

Getting a straight answer from the POTUS is pretty much an impossibility, unless the question is "Why are you so wonderful?"  If you need actual information, you won't get it, and if you want an explanation for something stupid that he did, you'll probably get insulted.  I feel really sorry for actual reporters stationed in DC who want to report on reality.
