How Dumb is Donald Trump?

How Dumb is Donald Trump?

At the end of the Rob Reiner movie, "A Few Good Men" Colonel Nathan R. Jessup, portrayed by Jack Nicholson, is his own worst enemy when he contradicts and perjures himself. Even more laughable, at that moment, Jessup is completely unaware and clueless that he had perjured himself. He's simply is too stupid to realize he is his own worst enemy, and his own mouth has landed him in hot water. In fact, even his own counsel realizes it immediately, leaving Jessup as the only remaining person in the room not understanding what just happened. 

The fact that Rob Reiner is a long standing opponent of Donald Trump is almost too perfect. Nathan Jessup is eerily characteristic of Donald Trump on so many levels. They are both arrogant, power-mongering, petty, and sociopathic and completely unaware that they have committed a crime. Meanwhile, everyone around them are stunned at what they've said, perplexed that they are clueless as to what just happened. 

This is how stupid Donald Trump is. 

After being accused of leveraging the Ukrainian President for Trump's own political agenda, he admitted what he did as if he thought there was nothing wrong with it. While the public, the media, and politicians are standing there with their jaws wide open, there stood Trump, just like Jessup, being the only person in the room who had no idea what he said just started his worst nightmare of impeachment. 

For months, House speaker, Nancy Pelosi, or "Nancy" as Trump refers to her, had been dragging her heels on launching an impeachment inquiry into Trump. While the numbers of Congress grew and grew well past the majority Congress needed to send the impeachment to the Senate, Pelosi still didn't support impeachment. Perhaps Pelosi was waiting for the smoking gun that would create bipartisan support to impeach Trump? Given that the Republicans have stood behind Donald Trump's defence at every opportunity they had, this seemed like a miracle in the making. 

Well, Donald Trump finally gave that miracle to Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic majority of Congress by opening his mouth, and just continuing to be Donald Trump. 

And if all follows as it should, this should be the start of Donald Trump's inevitable demise as he goes down as one of the most shamed men in modern history. And just like in a Few Good Men, Trump will be the final character to not understand what just happened, and I can't wait to see Rob Reiner's reaction when it happens.
