This is much more likely to me than the idea he’s not aware we had former Nazis help build rockets. I’d say in general a lot of pretty horrific rhetoric conservatives put out gets excused under “lol they’re not smart.”

Oh for the good old days when every editorial board in America LOUDLY demanded the Clintons shut down their charitable organization for fear it would be used to curry favor w/Hillary if she became President 🙃

Trump told West Point cadets at their graduation that he wouldn't be able to shake their hands, a tradition among US presidents, because he had urgent matters to deal with on China and Russia. This was him "dealing" with China and Russia moments later. He went golfing.

America owes so much, economically and innovation-wise, to its universities and the fact that Trump is knee-capping them for spite has to be one of the worst self-owns of any country in all of human history.
