That President Trump is not an idiot.

So he had to have seen that this war was going to be a disaster.

Because he's not an idiot, and he had to have seen the war was going to be a disaster, then he must have

been acting at Israel's behest, Israel's whim.

So let's examine those three propositions.

Number one, he's not an idiot.

Well, I won't say he's a complete idiot, but certainly in a large number of areas where he renders opinions, he is an imbecile.

Maybe if it came to whether or not he should purchase a new building in my neighborhood, his advice would be quite useful.

By the way, his father started in my neighborhood, Fred Trump.

The Trump buildings are still up in my neighborhood, Coney Island.

He was a notorious racist, Woody Guthrie, the folk singer, actually wrote a song about Fred Trump.

We'll leave that aside.

If you want real estate advice, I suppose his would be as good as anybody else's on the matter.

But there are a broad number of areas where we can say he's completely and happily ignorant.

Ignorance is bliss, and he's blissfully ignorant.

Proposition number two.

Let's assume he was very bright.

For argument's sake, let's assume he was very bright.

Hey, you want to know what?

Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney were very bright, very smart, top of the line, rich in government experience.
