Somebody get this guy a map of the world

Stumbling, bumbling, double talking Donald Drumpf, once again, sticks his small foot in his big mouth and demonstrates his ignorance of international affairs. And this bozo, side show barker is going to be the recipient of classified intelligence briefings next week? How soon do you think it will be before he blurts something out in an off-the-cuff remark at some rally in Podunk, Alabama to the delight of his screaming ignorant fans?

How can anyone believe this guy is a reasonable, suitable, qualified candidate for president?


George Stephanopoulos awkwardly corrects Donald Trump when he says Putin 'is not going into Ukraine'

In an interview on ABC's "This Week" that aired Sunday, Trump asserted that Russian President Vladimir Putin was not going to invade Ukraine, where pro-Russian rebels — and some Russian special forces — have been operating for several years despite Putin's reluctance to acknowledge any role.

"He's not going into Ukraine, just so you understand. He's not going to go to Ukraine," Trump said.

"Well, he's already there, isn't he?" Stephanopoulos replied.

Trump responded by simultaneously criticizing the US's decision not to intervene to stop the annexation of Crimea, a former Ukrainian territory seized by Russia in 2014, and noting that many citizens of Crimea were allegedly supportive of Russia's decision to invade.

"Well, he's there in a certain way, but I'm not there. You have Obama there," Trump said. "And frankly that part of the world is mess, under Obama. With all the strength that you're talking about, and with all the power of NATO, and all of this, in the mean time, [Putin] takes Crimea."

He added: "You know the people of Crimea, from what I've heard, would rather be with Russia than where they were, and you have to look at that also."

Earlier in the interview, the real-estate magnate shrugged off his campaign's influence in removing a provision of the Republican Party platform that would've advocated providing arms to Ukraine to defend itself from Russian aggression.

"I was not involved in that. I'd have to take a look at it, but I was not involved in that," Trump said of the decision to alter the platform.

Trump's relationship with Russia and favorable statements about Putin have come under scrutiny in recent days following his suggestion for Russian hackers to find emails that Hillary Clinton deleted after serving as secretary of state. The Republican nominee responded to criticism of his comments by claiming he was being sarcastic.

The Donald doesn't score very well on the whole 'Knowing stuff' thing, does he?


We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.
