    Hello darkness, my old friend
    So your view is that he's cleverly and purposefully lifting the veil on corruption in order to indict himself as well? That seems...pretty unlikely. I think you could argue that he's exposing corruption in DC by wallowing in it so conspicuously (whereas other politicians are usually a bit more polished in hiding it) but that only suggests that he's inept, not smart and principled.

    No, my view is that he doesn't give a shit about his behavior. I don't think he's necessarily lifting the veil on purpose, but that it's a function of how he operates. There has been no proof that he is engaged in corruption while in office either. People need to stop riding that horse until there is.

    And is that the mark of like, a smart person?

    There is no proof that the blazers will ever win another game. People need to stop riding that horse until they do.

    Trump doesn't drink, smoke, or take drugs. He never has. He grew up in a privileged environment and attended the best schools. He has a degree in Economics from Wharton College. He is worth billions of dollars. I would say the likelihood that he is intelligent is far greater than the likelihood that he is some idiot.

    Your second statement is a non-sequitur.

    Lots of stupid people don't drink, etc.. Lots of brilliant ones do. Don't think that's evidence of anything.

    Growing up in a privileged environment doesn't make you smart. It does, however, gain you admittance to good schools. It doesn't make you learn anything while you are there.

    Easier when (a) your daddy is rich, (b) you are willing to defraud people, and (c) you accept money-laundering payments from Russia. But still, I will admit he does have a nose for money.

    I would say he's more ignorant than idiot. He's good at what he's good at - unfortunately what he's good at isn't entirely ethical/legal/moral.

    Not at all, athough it was a bit flippant. My point was that saying 'you shouldn't talk about anything until there is absolute proof' is not the way the world works. I also note that you limited your statement to the time he's been in office, which is interesting.

    We shall indeed. And you also are entitled to your opinion.

    And I'll try not to say "I told you so".

    Chris Brown a beater, Rob Porter a great guy and innocent.

    Hmmm. I think I see a difference between those two men.
