George Conway, husband of Trump's advisor Kellyanne Conway, created a list of Trump's gaffes. These gaffes, IMO, expose an obvious example of the Dunning-Kruger effect.

Dunning–Kruger effect
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
....
In the field of psychology, the Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people of low ability assess their cognitive ability as greater than it is. It is related to the cognitive bias of illusory superiority and comes from the inability of people to recognize their lack of ability. Without the self-awareness of metacognition, people cannot objectively evaluate their competence or incompetence.

Can you think of any POTUS in your lifetime whose track record of gaffes equaled or exceeded Trump's?
 
Gotta love George, and wonder why he puts up with his nutty wife Kellyanne.

No more than I can think of any POTUS who has

Historical Unemployment
Historical Stock Market
Historical jobs
Historical Economy

Guess he backs up what he says.
 
Trump won’t engage Conway or Rick Wilson, both slam him via Twitter.


Wilson was the instigator on CNN’s Lemon show and Trump only punched at Lemon......

She reminds me of the crypt keeper. One could say if a soul exists, she is the perfect example of the outward sign of the sould dying. She looks like a corpse in makeup and with a wig.

You seemed to have glossed over some important details:

Trump took over an economy already on a positive trajectory.

Evidence suggests mixed reviews regarding public sentiment on the economy during Trump's term.

Team Trump has not reigned in the ever-increasing federal deficit.

Americans' Take on the U.S. Is Improved, but Still Mixed

Now you're trying to sell something Obama himself doesn't even believe?

Who was it that said for America to get used to 1.8 GDP and where is Trump going to find all these new jobs, wave a magic wand?

Sorry, you don't get to come back 4 years later and claim me me me.
 
I hate to break the bad news to you , but we are pretty close to 1.8 GDP.

I've thought about this for some time now and they have to be gaming this. They must sit around the table at night and tell each other what they are going to say.

I kind of wonder whether they even really live together any more.

1. Everyone in my generation is basically working three jobs, on welfare, or is working for minimum wage. Futhermore, no one I know is really doing what they went to school for, unless they got extremely lucky or had great connections, even so, they have massive debt from useless college degrees.
2. Does jack for most americans
3. See 1.
4. The rich keep getting richer, the poor keep getting poorer and the middle class is still disappearing, the debt still keeps rising, yet for some reason this talking point is a GOP slogan despite not giving any details to it's meaning and you all still complaining about it. There's a word for that, and it's not "historical."

Hilarious that Trump had no idea Seoul was so close to the DMZ, well within the range of KPA-GF artillery. Then he said “Why is Seoul so close to the North Korean border?”. But, when referring to the 10 million inhabitants of South Korea’s capital, he said, “They have to move!”, Trump may have stumbled upon a simple solution to how coastal cities manage rising sea levels.

Yes, he's got loads of ground-breaking and innovative ideas; like raking forest floors to prevent fires. I wish I was as bright as him.

That was my favorite as well.

My son was an air traffic controller there for three years, I had to send that to him.

That's just too hilarious!!!
