I have compared the Moron-in-Chief to a grinchy paranoid grocery store owner who thinks everyone is out to get him and steal from him, and who measures his business by counting the pennies in his cash register at the end of the day, but doesn't understand the concepts of assets and net worth, relationship-building, oppportunity cost, and other business concepts that the imbecile ought to know given his claim that he is a businessman. With dozens of bankruptices over scams and other con jobs (Trump University was to admit only illiterate fools who were easily scammed), the Moron-in-Chief is a failed businessman at that.
Lawrence O'Donnell explains to us variations on the incompetence and moronic one-dimensional thinking of the Moron-in-Chief Donald Dumb.

Lawrence O’Donnell Slams Trump For 'Stupidest Thing' Any President 'Has Ever Said'

MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell torched President Donald Trump on Monday for his “stupid” theories on international trade, the precarious tariffs he imposed on U.S. imports and all the contradictory answers he gave during Sunday’s “Meet the Press” interview.
O’Donnell excoriated his falsehoods in a “Last Word” segment spanning 26 minutes.
“Donald Trump talks repeatedly in the interview about how much money we were losing because of international trade,” he said. “We have never lost a penny because of international trade. Donald Trump said, ‘We were losing hundreds of billions of dollars with China.’ Now, think about how very stupid and dishonest that statement is.”
“Donald Trump is counting every penny we spend on imported products as lost money,” O’Donnell continued. “That means every time we spend money, we are losing money, according to that theory.”
O’Donnell went on to blame this “very stupid economic theory of international trade” for Trump’s documented aversion to paying people “what he owes” and for his indifference that Americans won’t be able to cut costs by buying cheap foreign cars anymore.
O’Donnell tried to parse the logic Monday, as filtered through Trump’s illogical reasoning.
“If I buy a Ford made in the United States, I haven’t lost money,” said O’Donnell. “But if I buy a Kia made in South Korea, I have lost money, even if the Kia is cheaper than the Ford. What Donald Trump is incapable of understanding is that, at the end of that transaction, my life is richer now because I have a car.”
Trump announced steep international tariffs last month on all U.S. imports and imposed a 145% levy on Chinese goods. Economists warn the policies could spark a recession, while Trump has justified his trade war as a crusade to revive U.S. manufacturing.
Trump admitted last week that children might start being able to have only “two dolls instead of 30” as a result, however, which certainly flies in the face of past assurances of economic freedom. He reiterated on “Meet the Press” Sunday that little girls don’t need as many dolls as they’d like.
“That was something Donald Trump never admitted on the campaign trail when he lied about tariffs every time he spoke about them,” O’Donnell said Monday. “And now, every time Donald Trump talks about tariffs, he sounds stupider than the time before.”

The host reminded viewers that he dubbed Trump “Donny 2 Dolls” last week for saying “the stupidest thing any president of the United States has ever said about Christmas or dolls” — by simply dismissing fears of empty shelves by arguing kids don’t “need” the toys.
Trump has also been defying the U.S. Supreme Court by refusing to facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man who the Trump administration admitted was mistakenly deported, but the president was noncommittal when asked on “Meet the Press” if he has a duty to uphold the Constitution.
“I don’t know,” Trump said Sunday, which O’Donnell appeared to find most egregious of all.
“Only one president of the United States in American history could possibly have said, ‘I don’t know,’ to the question,” said the MSNBC host, adding: “Every president prior to Donald Trump knew the answer to that question … is one word: ‘Yes.’ Every one of them.”
