Donald Trump is an idiot. There, I said it. But to hear him tell it, he’s brilliant. And of course this tells us that Trump is so freaking stupid that he doesn’t even realize just how clueless he is. That’s the very definition of pathetic.
The latest proof we have of Trump’s ignorance comes to us from a question MSNBC’s Hallie Jackson asked the president: Should he behave more civilly in consideration of the office he holds? Trump replied:
“I think the press makes me more uncivil than I am. You know people don’t understand. I went to an Ivy League college. I was a nice student, I did very well.
“I’m a very intelligent person. I really believe, I think the press creates a different image of Donald Trump than the real person.”
Notice how he switched to third person at the end of his statement? That alone should be enough to get him impeached.
Fortunately, plenty of people of Twitter were more than willing to make fun of the Dotard-in-Chief, and they did:

I don't know about you, but when someone describes themselves as a "very intelligent person," I tend to assume the opposite. #trump

Implicit in this remark: If you did not go to an Ivy League school, you are not as intelligent as someone that did. https://t.co/WcKmSy2nhX

Guys. @realDonaldTrump went to an Ivy League school. He is a very intelligent person. ?.

Wait, #MAGA alert! An Ivy League college, you say? I thought that makes him one of the dreaded “East Coast Elite”, who I’ve been told are “as bad as ISIS.” I guess that’s any Ivy Leaguer who’s not him, then? https://t.co/tXtabiX55D

There a lot of stupid MFers who went to Ivy League and got there off the backs of legacy and money contributions.

Attending an Ivy League school does not make you smart. See also: the president's son-in-law. https://t.co/0B5Js5MCDi

Had Clinton or Obama pointed to their Ivy League educations as “proof” of their intelligence & civility they would have been called elitist https://t.co/u8TuspkY0v

Going to an Ivy League school is not a vaccine against coarseness and jackassery, nor is it even a guarantee that you're very smart.

Donald Trump is NOT very intelligent. My dog is smarter than him, and a hell of a lot nicer.
