> [@solost](#): > > With quotes like this it’s difficult to tell whether it’s mental decline, or his baseline colossal ignorance that he tries to talk through whenever he’s asked a question that takes any kind of experience or insight. I think most of his ignorance comes from a total lack of interest, in anything that does not directly involve him. That’s due to his narcissism, and his ego. And of course very low intelligence. He thinks he is the best at everything. Why would he need to learn anything? ---

> [@Smapti](#): > > Convict Donald waving to nobody again; Yet again, you’re posting a video about nothing. We literally can’t see what or who he’s waving to. This post is useless. If the camera swung around to show what he was waving to that would be one thing, otherwise it’s just, “Trust me there was nobody over there.” Might as well not even bother with a video because it’s literally a video of Trump waving. ---

We know that with 100% certainty? Seems like an assumption. We have so many videos showing Trump legitimately being confused. Why do we need a video that’s not showing anything? The “Trump is waving at nobody” almost seems like a joke meme at this point rather than anything legitimate. ---

You’d think that if there was a crowd there, the cameraman who’s being paid by Trump to record this would show them. ---

Well now, is Trump confused or is this something he staged to make it look like he has a crowd? If this is a cameraman that’s trying to put a puff video together. In which case that doesn’t even apply to the topic. Again, this video doesn’t mean anything. Now that video from @griffin1977, LOL that shows a confused Trump. 😆 ---
