>woeful ignorance of nuclear weapons

His DPRK policy is the strongest of all US presidents, and he may actually understand that there ought to be a targeted strike on the DPRK before they get deployable thermonuclear weapons

My initial post was in line with the copypasta but it appears knyte is both more creative and driven then myself. Kudos.

I support Donald Trump as the vastly superior candidate. As for people "always wanting to turn things intro a Trump event" look around this forum and you will find very few hardcore Republican partisans proclaiming their love for the man, rather people who support him as the better choice. The OT is more about ideas and concepts as opposed to personalities. Trump's biggest fan remains Wally Balls.

Trump's no fool. He's a narcissist, and inarticulate, but he isn't stupid. The only thing he truly doesn't seem to understand is how to treat his enemies in a way that will lead to productive cooperation, or even tense tolerance, which is what we need in our government to actually do shit.

The problem with parodies is that a very good parody can be hard to tell from the thing being parodied.

Wulfhere the trouble with nuclear weapons is that so many people have them. Whatever you make of the Bush administration's assessment of Saddam Hussein and his supposed capabilities to make a nuclear weapon, his behavior with regard to inspections made the arguments for going to war more plausible. The Koreans are playing at a similarly dangerous game. Is Kim Jong-un's behavior rationally calculated to a fare-thee-well? I do not have so high an opinion of the behavior of any human being. So could saber rattling be entirely out of place?

The trouble is this; further use of nuclear weapons creates a ready made argument to use them yet again. The Pakistanis have nuclear weapons. The possibility of a so-called Islamic Bomb in the hands of someone who views it as anything other than a deterrent is the stuff nightmares are made of.

The fallout of using a nuclear weapon could include general nuclear war.

That's the rub.

Flawed as our republic is, I take comfort in the thought that Trump has advisors, and that he can not on a whim decide to build 28,000 weapons (which would be a waste of money) because the congress would have to make an appropriation to do so. There is also a system of command and control in place. The President can not make use of a nuclear weapon without a second person giving assent. This has been the case for a long time, and for good reason.

I don't believe that Donald Trump would willfully provoke a full scale nuclear war. But, I do not trust the guy. I am thinking of Amanda Plummer and Samuel Jackson's standoff in Pulp Fiction. In a tense situation you want someone as sharp and self-possessed as Samuel Jackson's character was. What you don't want is someone who is as unhinged as Amanda Plummer's character was. And if I even suspect, for any reason, that might be true then you're on my list.

Before you even go there, no I am not comparing Hillary Clinton to Samuel Jackson. The problem with the last election is that both candidates were a disaster. The only real argument was over who was the worst.

To me, for a president to argue that we need ten times as many thermonuclear weapons is prima facie evidence of ignorance. It is evidence that the man does not take his job seriously enough to educate himself.

For me a better question than 'is the President intelligent', would be 'did he actually expect to win?'

DPRK has nuclear weapons and has threatened to use them. Saddam Hussein neither had WMD (that we knew of) nor made threats to use such weapons. Kim Jong Un is a rational actor; his endgame is holding millions of people in Japan and the Western US hostage with nuclear missiles as he unifies the Korean peninsula. DPRK is an imminent threat.

It is so unhealthy to be over weight. I worry about Kim Jong-un's health. The man could die at any time.

The Navy has teams of men to help with problems like that.

One need not be stupid to be an idiot.

I think he's fucking brilliant, especially during the Republican Primary, where he constantly kept media attention on him.

Donald Trump IQ: 153

Donald Trump has a 30-inch dong (60 inches if you use the metric system). He does not need to defecate or urinate. Donald Trump was born on America’s most sacred mountain, Mt. Everest. At the moment of his birth, a new star formed and illuminated the sky- the seasons suddenly changed from winter to spring and a double rainbow appeared. Donald John Trump's fashion has taken the world by storm. Every country celebrates his birthday. He invented the hamburger, although he initially called it "double meat with bread" (rumor has it that Ivanka is responsible for convincing him to change the name); he also created the first hamburger-growing plants to supply the world with his wondrous creation. Donald Trump first picked up a golf club in 1994, at Mar-a-Lago's only golf course. He shot a 38-under par round that included no fewer than 11 holes in one, after which he announced his retirement from golf in order to keep the sport competitive. It is rumored that during this match Donald first demonstrated his ability to control the weather.

Lies.
His penis is 6969.69km long

you have to have a very high IQ to understand Donald Trump

Indeed. And even then, you might not be able to comprehend him.

We’ve got this perverse situation in which the vast analytic powers of the entire world are being spent trying to understand a guy whose thoughts are often just six fireflies beeping randomly in a jar.

You forgot the decimal point

153 IQ is actually reasonable

Yet my comment still stands

Best president ever

"153 IQ is actually reasonable"

No it isn't.

That's my IQ.

You're never going to convince me that Trump is as intelligent as I am.

He transferred into Wharton as a Junior, its entry requirements for freshman are ~1500 SAT, which typically correlates to around 145 IQ, but he was not accepted as a Freshman, he was accepted as a transfer student from Fordham, largely due to his families wealth and because he had an interview with an admissions officer who had been a high school classmate of his older brother.

Fordham, the school he actually went to for most of his schooling accepts SAT scores as low as 1050 and ACT scores as low as 20. They have no standards. They accept complete morons. 52% of people score a 21+ on the ACT.

"The problem with parodies is that a very good parody can be hard to tell from the thing being parodied. "

Knyte's not creating very good parodies though. He's not incapable of doing so, but the excerpt you took seriously is a well known post about Rick & Morty that he tweaked to make it about Trump.

>that's my IQ

XD

IQ and wealth are correlative and people who can maneuver their way into politics tend to be above average to begin with. Trump managed to win an election with less resources. His campaign strategy becomes complex among further examination, as he effectively managed to humiliate the big-donor republicans and screw with the media coverage. His IQ is very likely ~150.

But why the obsession with IQ rather than policy? If your IQ was as high as you say it is you would recognize the futility of character assassination (ad hominem).

>the excerpt you took seriously

everybody and their gramda has seen the rick and morty meme. God you're like a smug kid going on reddit for the first time and bragging about the "hottest memes" and thinking you're so esoteric, meanwhile all the big kids have already moved on. Step it up tryhard.
