sure he's not a good communicator, but it's that he thinks his own random tossed-off ideas will uncover something that everyone else in the world has missed that makes him so dangerously stupid
It does seem that overestimating your own intelligence is always coupled with underestimating everyone else's

We've deleted an earlier tweet and updated a sentence in our article that implied that only "some experts" view the ingestion of household disinfectants as dangerous. To be clear, there is no debate on the danger.— The New York Times (@nytimes) April 24, 2020
Oh, well, that makes it OK then ("it" being the Times' entire relationship to Trump for the last 5+ years).

NEW: About 6 percent of Miami-Dade’s population — some 165,000 residents — could have been infected by the novel coronavirus, dwarfing the DOH tally of ~10,700 cases, according to preliminary @umiamimedicine study results just announced by Mayor Gimenez.— Ben Conarck (@conarck) April 24, 2020

The President of the United States purposely put out info to the general public that could possibly result in citizens ingesting dangerous chemicals, while also making himself look like a deranged simpleton, just to troll the media. Yep that's a lot better than if he had truly believed what he was saying.

Yeah, there's basically no angle or explanation that could possibly vindicate him here. He either has the intelligence of a half-dead carp or he's an evil fuck who thinks joking about people poisoning themselves while in the midst of a pandemic is all in good fun (surprise, he's both!).

It’s definitely the former, and we shouldn’t even entertain the possibility that it was a joke

Yes that's the trouble tho
I mean, yes, come on guys, we all know the territory very well by now. Trump eats a child, Trump gets called out, Trump says he was super hungry and only ate the kid as a goof, the kid's MAGA parents eagerly parrot Trump's excuse for devouring their son, lather rinse repeat. And the fourteen people who still retain some tattered remnant of a conscience scream THIS ISN'T OKAAAAAAY and nothing changes except that Trump maybe only eats part of the next kid's arm.

I would support buying Greenland, installing Trump as king, and renaming it Trumpland. Everyone who loves him goes there to live under his benevolent and genius leaderness. So many problems solved.

apparently Fox News dragged out a neuroradiologist who shared his expert opinion that the isolation from Coronavirus should end.
they're just dragging out people with Dr in their name as long as they'll say we shouldn't self-isolate.
I know I'm the "oh stop the Eeyore shit" itt but that's when it comes to beating Trump in November, something we have at least some semblance of influence over.
after seeing the mass gathering in Michigan where no social distancing was observed, I'm pretty convinced we're going to get millions of people killed by reopening too early because politicians and governors in some states start kowtowing to these assholes.
if these idiots were the ones who would die for their stupidity, i wouldn't care, but. ...ughhh
