“Donald Trump’s confidence in addressing a complex subject has a linear relationship to his ignorance regarding that subject, and so we have got gems like this presidential declaration of ineptitude: ‘Nobody knew that health care could be so complicated.’ It isn’t the case that nobody knew — lots of people knew. Some of those people had good ideas, some had terrible ideas, but they knew it was complicated. The guy who didn’t know? The one who spent most of his life as a Manhattan gadfly, a game-show host with side hustles in pro wrestling and porn. That guy didn’t know. .. An ‘outsider,’ his admirers like to call him. And Trump is an outsider in Washington in the same way that a guy who skipped every class but shows up for the final exam is an outsider in Physics 101.” (05/30/25)
