People think you have to go through a ritual. You don’t, at least in my opinion, you don’t.
This is my favorite part because on the surface it seems as if he’s stupid enough to think that tossing in a casual “you know, this is just like, my opinion bro” is going to shield him.
But I think what’s really going on here is Trump’s trying to prime the idea in his base that if he’s guilty of anything it’s just not understanding the law… Ignorance of the law is not a legal defense but it definitely wouldn’t stop him from getting his base to embrace it as the defacto talking point since he doesn’t have anything else.
Trump is classically stupid, in that he is uneducated, illiterate, and incurious. But there’s more than one kind of intelligence, and he displays large amounts of cunning, conniving, and a sense of showmanship to impress and inspire other classically stupid people.
Attending prestigious does not inherently make him well educated. Especially when one of the professors says you are, and I quote, “the dumbest goddamn student I ever had”.
“Well educated” in the sense that he got an education in prestigious places, not that he was a good student. The worst doctor to come out of Johns Hopkins is not going to be a good doctor because of it.
It does in fact make him “well educated.” He’s not smart, learned, well-read, or thoughtful. It’s just a fact, it’s not something that can be debated. No one with a community college degree will ever be well educated and no one with an Ivy League degree will ever not be well educated.
A person who attended an Ivy League school has had the OPPORTUNITY to become well educated. But it’s possible to graduate without making any use of that opportunity. Especially if you’re a cheating cheater who cheats from the get-go, and is only interested in staying out of the military and social climbing.
Meanwhile a person can cobble together an excellent education at community colleges with a transfer to a state university, if they really care about learning and having a well-rounded intellect, choose their classes and professors carefully, and go beyond the regular expectations in coursework.
Okay you’re welcome to say they’re “definitionally we’ll educated” because that tells me all I need to know about you. Shoddy scholarship is clearly your hallmark.
See, I really think people should stop seeing some huge agenda in everything this guy and similar people say/do. He’s just plain idiotic and it’s plainly idiotic people voting for candidates like him. Still dangerous, but just dangerously dumb in the end.

Except when he was recorded talking to the reporter to whom he was showing the documents, he admitted to knowledge of the law.
It worked even on democrats when he was in the office.
That’s why calling him stupid is so dangerous. Most people stupid get away with a lot of things.

That’s why writing him off is so dangerous.
I mean, he’s quite well educated. That’s just another example of how legacy systems are fucking terrible.

No, mere matriculation and conferring of a degree makes that individual, definitionally, we’ll educated.
You don’t have to like basic facts for them to be true. This is a good life lesson for you.

Well educat- come on, man, you’ve heard him speak.

It is hilarious that he and his followers think he can just “this is all a big misunderstanding” his way out of this.
Either he’s the dumbest fucking person on the planet. Or he’s really shitting bricks behind the scene.
