How Dumb Can Trump Get?

Could America’s voters ever elected a President who was so friggin’ dumb? Or now that he’s just another ex-President, maybe he’s becoming dumber than dumb. But either way, I can’t believe that Trump is running a serious 2024 campaign when he said what he said the other day about the Super Bowl.

Trump ripped into the NFL for going with the pop star Rihanna during the half-time show. Claimed she had no talent and made a dig about someone who has only sold 250 million records at the last count. How many MAGA hats has Trump recently sold?

Those two have been going at it for the last five or six years, with Rihanna telling Vogue in 2018 that Trump was the most ‘mentally ill’ person alive. She also instructed her publishing company to tell Trump to stop playing her music at his various public events.

When Trump was President, he made a habit of throwing verbal slings and arrows at everyone who disagreed with anything he said. And we often found his insults and mis-spelled profanity funny because he was setting a new and different style for what the nation’s Chief Executive is supposed to say.

But sooner or later, such barroom language tends to wear thin, particularly when you’re just another guy who used to be someone important but now, no longer is.
