Which is what I said, thanks. Can you honestly tell us that you believe that Trump is well-read and well-educated and informed and is intelligent?

MAGAS are crying that the " libs " don't want to cut waste and fraud , That is all right wing BS. I don't know of one that doesn't want waste and fraud cut.
MY big beef is Musk went in with a bulldozer and took down half the forest then decided all he had to do was go in with a hand saw and trim a few trees.
In doing this he laid off hundreds of thousands of people and cut needed staff and now he is trying to get a lot of them back and some of them are thinking well if they can just fire me on the say of some kid that has no idea what it takes to do my job what says they don't do it again and are going out finding other jobs.
IMO they needed to go in and find the waste and fraud FIRST then cut it not cut FIRST then look for the waste and fraud.

I agree. Just axing ppl because you can is inefficient, stupid, and bound to fail.
MAGATs believe a lot of stupid things. If you don't believe that a wall between us and Mexico is a feasible way to deal with illegal border crossings, to MAGATs it means you want "open borders." If you don't think thatindiscriminate layoffs are the way to deal with waste and fraud, you're in favor of waste and fraud. These are not smart people.
He thinks he's being "clever", you'll never convince him otherwise. People who aren't clever sometimes think they've come up with something super-clever and constantly use whatever "gem" they dropped into their pants. In this case he thinks some twisted "they're dodging things so I'll call it 'dodge' and everyone will love me and tell me how clever I am" logic is getting him praise for his super clever wit.
Indeed.
Walter makes inane statements that he can not prove ie. “honestly do not know whether trump cannot read a book, or just choses not to read books, but he definitely does not read books.”
President Trump has a degree from the Univesity of Pa.
Walter has no clue as to whether President Trump reads books.
Perhaps that’s why I call Walter, “Rarely Right Walter.”
Rarely Right Walter may have time to read books, between Uber Eats deliveries.
I do not believe “clever” describes Rarely Right Walter.
A “blowhard” who continually boasts about having “a whole lot of money,” yes, but clever, no.
Wealthy people do not discuss their wealth, which, according to my club friends, begins at 3 mil.

trump has a bachelors degree from an Ivy, but was unable to get into graduate school. I have a masters degree from an Ivy, and they wanted me to get a PHD.
Does Uber Eats have a university…I did not know that.
Do you have proof that he applied for graduate studies?
He probably wanted to earn a “whole lot of money” and he actually did.
He also became president, twice…perhaps three (3) times.

Are you now denying that trump applied to law school?
trump graduated without honors from college, and was then unable to get into a graduate program.
If it is all a lie, and might be three times, it also might be zero times.
Funny how that works.

Which grad school denied him? Just curious...
Why would a ghostwriter agree to work for an unknown? Remember, Obama's road to fame was his writing. Without his writing, what did he bring to the table? Who was this ghostwriter willing to write for an unknown?

Trump is intelligent, he's got Biden beat when Biden was at his best decades ago on that score for example. Well-read? Probably not. A near certainty on that. Most likely he prefers written material in 'sound bites.' That is, he'll look at the first paragraph in an executive brief and ignore the rest and never look at the actual report, as an example. At least, that's how he strikes me.
Well-educated? I'd say educated enough. From what I've seen and experienced over the years, simply having advanced degrees in whatever are no indication on their own of being well-educated or competent. That one requires you interacting with a person quite a bit over time to recognize their level of intellect and education.

Money. I know people who ghost write for a living. They don't care who you are if you can pay and what you want written is something they specialize in.
HIS writing? Obama's books were ghost written by Bill Ayers. When Obama was the President of the Harvard Law Review, he never wrote anything published in it, a singular omission for a President of that journal. Same goes when he was an academic / lecturer at the University of Chicago. Nada, zip point shit. In fact, his peers point out his lack of interest in doing such things.
Obama brought to exactly one thing to the table: He has insane levels of charisma. He's one of those guys that could sell a refrigerator full of snowballs to an Eskimo in the dead of winter, if he had the energy and desire to put in the effort. He's the sort of old-school revival tent preacher that energizes the crowd and gets them to shower him with money. The guy is just stupid good at that sort of thing. In politics, he can get elected. In office, he's absolutely fucking worthless. Others have to do all the heavy lifting while Obama stands there, smiles, schmoozes, and looks good.
What money? Obama was a new graduate, deeply in debt.
Ayers, someone Obama vaguely met several years after he wrote the book, actually wrote the book? That does not even make sense.
So why did Ayers write a book for some random new graduate, deeply in debt?
The editor does not write stuff under his own name, so it is hard to say what was written by Obama, and what was written by other editors, but it can be assumed that most of what was written by the editorial staff was written by Obama.

The best sellers he did were done shortly before he started his run for President.
They were neighbors. Obama started his campaign for state senate in Ayers' living room.
Ayers didn't. He wrote the books for someone who was currently a US senator and about to run for President.
For a split second, Ayers was nonplussed. Then an Abbie Hoffmanish, steal-this-book-sort-of-smile lit up his face. He gently took National Journal by the arm. “Here’s what I’m going to say. This is my quote. Be sure to write it down: ‘Yes, I wrote Dreams From My Father. I ghostwrote the whole thing. I met with the president three or four times, and then I wrote the entire book.’” He released National Journal’s arm, and beamed in Marxist triumph. “And now I would like the royalties.”
Did William Ayers ghostwrite Obama's memoir, 'Dreams From My Father'?
Read this rather breathless account of an admission wrested from William Ayers at Reagan National Airport, during an ambush moment by blogger Anne Leary, the “BackyardConservative.” Indeed, stopped by a relative stranger after attending an education conference in Arlington, Va., Mr. Ayers...

Dreams From My Father was written in 1992, and published in 1995. Obama ran for President in 2008, so 16 years after he wrote the book, and 13 years after it was published. The writing of the book led to him being President, not the other way around.
For Obama to hire a ghostwriter, you have to prove that a highly indebted new graduate, somehow hired a ghostwriter.
They both lived a few miles apart in Hyde Park, but Obama did not move to Hyde Park until 2005. The book was written 13 years beforehand.
The two met on the Chicago Annenberg Challenge board meeting on March 15, 1995. It is uncertain how much they met, but that was the first time they were in the same room. The final manuscript of the book was accepted a year beforehand, and so there is no way Ayers could have altered any of it.
Obama did have a fundraiser in Ayers' living room, but it was not the start of his campaign.
Once again, the book was written in 1992, the final manuscript was accepted in 1994, and it was published in 1995. It was well over a decade later that Obama was a US Senator, and ran for President. At the time the book was written, Obama was a nobody, with a great education, and a lot of debt from that education. He used his book writing ability to rise up from that.
