    Speaking of clueless...
    Trump:
    "And when you’re talking about an atmosphere, oceans are very small."

    Volume, oceans, earth: 300 million cubic miles
    Volume, atmosphere, earth: 11.913 billion cubic miles

    How is he wrong?

    In the minds of illiberal regressives Trump is always wrong. He lies thousands and thousands of times each and every week.

    Cosmologists and meteorologists are aware of the impact of oceans on the climate/weather and do in fact consider the air and the oceans as part of the atmosherewhen it comes to forecasting future weather patterns.

    That trump is playing stupid is certainly one take. I don't buy it, I don't think a narcissist could pull it off. But hey, whatever eases your cognitive dissonance.

    I stand corrected. Can a mass be bigger or smaller when compared to another mass?

    But it still doesn't excuse the nonsense stream of consciousness inarticulate word salad. Would you say it represents the way his mind actually thinks?

    It's certainly possible. It would be MUCH easier for an idiot like trump with millions + his family assets/advantages to become a billionaire than an idiot with no money at all, no? And come on, he's shown several times that he didn't have the acumen to guide businesses away from bankruptcy.
    Now, I don't know any billionaires but I do know and have worked with many highly intelligent people (although I doubt any of them would refer to themselves in such a manner, but I digress). I can tell you that not one of them spoke in such an ambiguous, inarticulate, and incoherent manner as trump. Not one.

    I don't think the basics are hard to grasp.

    Of course that wasn't the question, and you haven't yet grasped those basics.

    Being articulate has little to do with leadership qualities, success or the ability to solve complex problems.

    Donald Trump has led an amazing life and appears to be the right man at the right place at the right time.

    LOL!! Being articulate is a characteristic of an intelligent person and intelligence is required for solving complex problems. FFS, if trump can't even verbalize a complex problem how the hell is he going to solve one? C'mon, you know damn well that trump is neither intelligent, articulate, nor a good leader. He may be successful, but even a drooling idiot could be successful given trumps advantages (obviously).

    If you really believe that, and I don't think you do, then you need to check your objectivity.

    But when you look at China and you look at parts of Asia and when you look at South America, and when you look at many other places in this world, including Russia, including — just many other places — the air is incredibly dirty. And when you’re talking about an atmosphere, oceans are very small. And it blows over and it sails over. I mean, we take thousands of tons of garbage off our beaches all the time that comes over from Asia. It just flows right down the Pacific, it flows, and we say where does this come from. And it takes many people to start off with.

    Nothing wrong with what he said.. Notice i read past the headline... Notice im not looking to "Resist" or be triggered.

    Try it.

    At least he is intelligent enough to know how many states there are. I would seriously question the intelligence of anyone who thinks there are 57 states.

    You should read your link before making the absurd claim that the oceans are part of the atmosphere.

    Those who suffer from TDS never read past the MSNBC/CNN headlines.
