In sum: he’s a child in everything but age. Emotionally, intellectually, his critical thinking skills, in terms of the breadth of his interests and willingness to try new things, in terms of his attention span, in terms of his knowledge, and very likely in terms of his reading ability, even. And this isn’t hyperbole

I love learning something new every day - it’s why I’m such a voracious reader and adore shows like Nova that explore science.

Agree with every word. It’s so painfully obvious to me that I’m just utterly dumbfounded that other people can’t see it or do and aren’t disturbed by it.

I seriously believe his only interest is himself, how to promote himself, how to get others to talk about how great he is, how to talk about himself. I think this also explains the tweets because this man is completely incapable of sitting quietly, alone, and just thinking, because he has nothing to think about but

“He doesn’t just lack intellectual curiosity, he’s fucking lazy and unwilling to do any part of the job that he finds boring.”

Lack of intellectual curiosity is one of the most reprehensible traits a person can have. I will spend hours upon hours with people that aren’t gifted or smart but who want to learn. I will spend no time with pompous dickwads that have no desire to learn or aren’t curious about what they don’t know. I suppose the

I hate the people who voted for him more than I hate him, actually. I can’t get over voting for him.

“Yeah, but he’s not capable of that.”

Yeah he’s never worked a day in his life. A toddler has more disclipine. He’s like a baby playing dress up.

He doesn’t just lack intellectual curiosity, he’s fucking lazy and unwilling to do any part of the job that he finds boring. He could literally get someone to read his daily briefings to him in their entirety, but he won’t even do that.

Part of being smart is knowing what you don’t know. He has no intellectual curiousity, none.

It’s a mark of intelligence to recognize what you don’t know and seek counsel and knowledge about it. Only stupid people think they know everything.

William Henry Harrison’s boss move of taking office them promptly dying is looking like a pretty sweet deal compared to what we’re facing.

Trump can’t read. Won’t read

Being LIKE a smart person is not the same thing as being a smart person.

Mother...fuck...me.

Hey President Dumbshit! Even smart people need to read to actually know things. Being smart doesn’t mean you just magically acquire knowledge. It just means that you’re capable of processing and understanding what you read!

We’re all going to die. After we’ve been handed over to Russia. Orange Hitler has no idea what he’s doing.

My mother has been near tears every day since the election as she’s terrified for my brother (gay), me (chronically ill and queer), and my fiancé (Jewish). So, FUCKING DO IT, HILLARY, WE NEED YOU.
