1. I still think that the Jerusalem thing is Trump's bid to get an approval jump like GW enjoyed after 9/11, in the near future.

2. The Trump core is not all dumb. Many are smart, some are very smart. What they all are is tribal, and/or bonded authoritarian followers. People can be smart and still be controlled by irrational emotional motivations. In fact, that's pretty much how people work. All people.

I am not too sure about that. If they are willingly associated with Trump, they can not be too smart.

There are three kinds of people. Some want to keep what they have, some willing to share what they have and there are those that are not sure what to do. Intelligence has nothing to do with it, just preferences and comfort levels.

You omitted a fourth kind, those that are never sated and must have more, regardless of ethical considerations.

Oh those, they are a special breed and quite unique. They want your money to invest off shore since you cannot be trusted with it. All you will do is spend it on booze and women. From Chuck Grassley, another GOP weirdo.
Quote:
“I think not having the estate tax recognizes the people that are investing,” Grassley told reporters last week. “As opposed to those that are just spending every darn penny they have, whether it’s on booze or women or movies.”
I am leaving out the movies since do not know anyone bankrupting themselves by going to movies.

David Brooks: GOP under Trump is harming every cause it claims to serve

Educated conservatives like Brooks, George Will, Jennifer Rubin all agree that Trump is a disaster.

http://thehill.com/homenews/media/36...e-it-claims-to

“First, he asked the party to swallow the idea of a narcissistic sexual harasser and a routine liar as its party leader,” Brooks writes. “Then he asked the party to accept his comprehensive ignorance and his politics of racial division. Now he asks the party to give up its reputation for fiscal conservatism. At the same time he asks the party to become the party of Roy Moore, the party of bigotry, alleged sexual harassment and child assault.”

Oh, that is sad. We should fill the next one up for him. He'd love it until he found out the majority were there to boo him off the stage....

This truck drove around the hall when Trump was in there praising the Alabama pervert.

Seeing as her dad called her a "fine piece of ass" on the Howard Stern Show, she's probably speaking from experience.
