HAS IT NOT OCCURRED TO YOU BY NOW THAT IF YOU HAVE TO RESORT TO LOGICAL FALLACIES AND TROLLING YOUR SO-CALLED ARGUMENTS ARE LIES?

Is that a nooalf typo, or do we not use "/" in nooalf?

Not being grammar police here. Just trying to learn the intricacies of your foreign language.

It would be easy to prove that Trump is NOT a moron. A bright high school senior could do this, so the bar is set pretty low. You don’t need a full-scale crisis communications plan. This is all it would take:

Have Trump give a live TV interview in which he addresses policy issues in depth and shows that he has actual, demonstrable knowledge of a variety of topics. Points will be deducted for every meandering mention of (a) Hillary Clinton, (b) fake news, (c) his record-breaking election victory, (d) the FBI, (e) the unfairness of the Russia investigation, (f) his IQ, (g) collusion between Democrats and Russia.

I don't think Barry ever talked to the public without a teleprompter...

Except that one time he called his wife Michael.

Or when he was on his way to visit the 57th State.

I believe you are mistaken. If you search for Obama Interview in YouTube, there are about 6,610,000 results. He was not using a teleprompter.

No thanks. Not interested in watching a bunch of Obama sycophants ask him a bunch of softball questions that he got in advance of the interview.

His wife's name is Michael.

lol...

Sorry. I couldn't find this one in another video alone, but the second time he did it, it was even better.

Starts at 00:16

Trump’s phony war with the press, explained.
www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/1/9/16854368/trump-fake-news

A genuine — but mutually beneficial — antagonism.

. . . the press isn’t going to do the work of an actual opposition party, which is to formulate a political alternative that an adequate number of people find to be sufficiently inspiring to go out and vote for. That’s the job of the Democratic Party, an institution that’s had considerable trouble attracting press attention to its own message and ideas ever since Trump exploded on the scene. And keeping the media focused on a self-referential feud between Trump and the media is a way of maintaining his preferred approach of trying to suck up all the oxygen in the room.

Meanwhile, what matters to Trump isn’t any actual crushing of the media, but simply driving the narrative in his core followers’ heads that the media is at war with him. With that pretense in place, critical coverage and unflattering facts can be dismissed even as Trump selectively courts the press to inject his own preferred ideas into the mainstream.

The Trump campaign had, perhaps less than inadvertently, replicated the scheme from Mel Brooks’s The Producers. In that classic, Brooks’s larcenous and dopey heroes, Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom, sell 25,000% of the ownership stakes in the Broadway show they are producing. Since they will be found out only if the show is a hit, everything about the show is premised on its being a flop. Accordingly, they create a show so outlandish ("Springtime for Hitler" in the movie) that it actually succeeds, thus dooming our heroes.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Producers_(1967_film)

Many of the Trump administration’s current problems lie in this cracked foundation. Why release your tax returns if you’re never going to win? What’s the harm in sucking up to Russia’s government if you’re likelier to build a hotel in Moscow than to occupy the White House? Who needs to build a real policy operation, or work through a process of educating the candidate on major policy issues, if he’s never going to govern? Why concern yourself with conflicts of interest or business entanglements if they’re never going to matter?

But all of this raises the question: What was so awful about Trump?

“An idiot,” according to Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin.

“A fucking idiot,” according to Rupert Murdoch.

“A fucking moron,” according to Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.

“A child,” according to former Deputy Chief of Staff Katie Walsh.

“A dope,” according to National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster.

“Dumb as shit,” according to National Economics Council Director Gary Cohn.
