Ubi bene ibi patria
"Look, having nuclear—my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart—you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world—it’s true!—but when you're a conservative Republican they try—oh, do they do a number—that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune—you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged—but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me—it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are (nuclear is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right—who would have thought?), but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners—now it used to be three, now it’s four—but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years—but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us." (D. Trump)

What part of that do you disagree with?

What part convinces you that this rambling mess is the product of a coherent, rational, intelligent mind. That the person who produce such an unintelligible mess should be the leader of the world's largest economy and most militarily powerful country?

There is nothing that mess that makes any sense...nothing ties one part to another...since you don't seem to understand let's dissect it:

1. He opens with something about nuclear...but never finishes
2.He then talks about an uncle (who died in 1985)...who doesn't appear to have any correlation to nuclear...he worked on radiation therapy in hospitals and radar during WW2
3. No idea what the reference to Wharton School of Finance has to do with his uncle.
4. He then rambles about being a conservative
5. Next moves on to if he were running as a liberal democrat he would be considered one of the smartest people "anywhere in the world" (why exactly? What academic, educational or intellectual prowess has he displayed over his lifetime? When did the world equate real estate development with super human intelligence?)
6. He then talks about how wonderful he is...like if he doesn't tell himself often enough he might forget (BTW...being rich is not a "credential")
7. Mentions the nuclear deal
8. He loses his train of thought again and starts talking about his uncle again. His uncle explained to him 35 years ago that "nuclear is powerful"? Wow...that's amazing. The rest of the world realized "nuclear is powerful" 71 years ago and had never forgotten. We have no idea what his uncle explained was going to happen...we have no idea if he was actually right and we have no idea if anyone had the same thoughts....because Mr. Trump is just rambling he doesn't make a single factual statement in this section.
9. Now he is on to talking about 4, no 3, no 4 prisoners
10. Now he is talking about fellas..no women...women are smarter than men...but only right now...does than mean they were dumber in the past and he expects them to be dumber in the future...we may never know the answer as he changes his train of thought again..
11. It going to take someone 150 years to do something...is he talking about males becoming more intelligent than females or is he on a whole different topic? No one will ever know from this.
12. Persians are great negotiators
13. Iranians are great negotiators
14. He closes with "they killed us"...who is they? for that matter who is "us"? The Iranians killed us? How? What in this rambling mess offers any substantive or even relative or hell even tangential evidence?

So you have 14 different topics...none of which seem to be tied together...many of which seem to have no point at all...most of which are not statement of facts...there are only a handful of statements made that can be considered to be factual representations.

Mr. Trump Uncle was a scientist and engineer who went to MIT: that seems to be true.

Mr. Trump claims that if he were running as a liberal Democrat he would be considered one of the smarted people anywhere in the world: that is most definitely open for debate (and hopefully false!)

Women are smarter than men right now: hardly a provable statement

Persians and Iranians are great negotiators: if that were true wouldn't Persia be full of first world nations?
