*colossally ignorant. Missed the edit window to fix the typo.
Yes, I do realize the unfortunate irony of calling someone ‘collosally ignorant’ and misspelling the phrase.

And that, my friend, is one big difference between you and him.
Apart from all the others, of course. No offense meant by putting you both together in the same sentence.
As long as you’re contrasting us in that sentence, not comparing us, fine by me.
Thanks a lot—now I need brain bleach.
Trump tells supporters ‘don’t worry about voting’ during campaign stop
Speaking of genius-level intelligence.
Honestly, his NH speech was an absolute goldmine of idiocy. Case in point:
Absolutely psychotic levels of solipsism. In the little video game playing inside his head, he thinks everybody in the world but him is an NPC.
Damning with faint praise?
Regarding this and other things that are glaringly obvious but he claims “I just realized” or “no one ever thought of” or “very few people know” I think that part of it is that he knows his audience is similarly ignorant, and by putting things in this way it makes them feel smart, and makes him seem relatable.
I think that that is one of the things that his followers find most appealing about him. He isn’t some egg head elite smarty pants who is looking down on them, he’s just like them. If they are learning for the first time that “U.S. spells us” then hearing that he learned it for the first time means he’s just like them. If (like most of us) they figured it out a long time ago then that means that they must be really smart. Dunning meet Kruger.
I think this is right. There’s many ignoramuses who think “if I been born richer, I could’ve been president”. And Trump proves they’re right.
“Stollen” – 'nuf said.
Dead serious. Yesterday, during lunch, I used this exact thing, to include the words platonic ideal, in a discussion about him.
My dad (born in the 1930s), once shared what he said was ‘an old joke’.
As the bride who had gotten four woolen army blankets as a gift said: “Our towels may say His and Hers, but our blankets say US.”
Wait until he figures out that “US” is in “doofus”.
Glad to hear that I think like the head of the Straight Dope Science Advisory Board! Pretty good company to be in
I’m by no means the head of the SDSAB.
Well, at least a prestigious member of the SDSAB in good standing, right? It’s not like, I don’t know, an ironic title you made up for yourself or something. Right?!?
(Anyway, I will continue to think of it as great minds thinking alike, even if I’m stretching the definition in my case)
Are you the earlobe?
We all know Mandela died in prison, Donnie! Quit while you can!
