“Trump is, of course, a pure ignoramus, and Peter Navarro somehow managed to get a doctorate in economics from Harvard without knowing what GDP is, but J.D. Vance is not stupid — Cleetus the Gap-Toothed Twitter Troll is just a character he plays. Ted Cruz isn’t dumb — servile, yes, but not dumb, and neither is his fellow Princeton-to-Harvard chum Pete Hegseth. Somebody could probably explain this stuff to Trump, assuming the removal of two insurmountable barriers: 1. Nobody wants to tell Trump anything he doesn’t want to hear; 2. Trump doesn’t want to hear anything. He is the textbook case of the guy who doesn’t know what he doesn’t know — and likes it that way.” (03/17/25)
