Ask Dr Trump

[pastafreak]

Just a bit of light-hearted nonsense

I feel a lot better now, Ta.x

The Doc won't see me cu's I have a bad case of the Ad's.

Finally got an appointment with the Doc, he say's that I can go through a process !. Either that or it's all an hoax.

Wow. Just by reading that, my leg ulcers healed up. I feel 20 years younger. Thank you Dr Trump

Alas the man really is stupid enough to believe the garbage that he speaks.

:-)

He'll never be short of cheerleaders desperate to explain how much of a stable genius he is though :/

[naomi24]

//Dr. Trump acquired what he calls “a natural instinct for science” not through formal education but because “my uncle was a great professor at MIT for many years.” //

He didn't say he'd acquired it. He said 'maybe'. Light-hearted this is not. It's spiteful.

[jim360]

Clutching at straws they come, reliably and all too predictably.

[douglas9401]

So be it.

[pastafreak]

Aww...lighten up, Naomi.

[jim360]

Also, it isn't spite -- it's serious. Trump sets himself up very quickly as an expert on anything he touches. "Maybe" is just his style. But in doing so he's undermining the genuine experts, the people whose advice should be listened to -- not by design, probably, but by accident, by muddying the issue, spreading misinformation or outright lies at the worst possible time.

[naomi24]

Undermining genuine experts? Why anyone would think that people take him seriously. Don't be ridiculous, Jim.

[douglas9401]

He's a bit like a virus himself, infecting the already weakened, causing them to react feverishly.

[jim360]

Millions of Americans take him seriously.

[Mamyalynne]

Without being spiteful, something I try to avoid - I think he's one of those people who see delegation as a sign of weakness, when in fact it can show control and power to put the top medical advisers (in this case) in charge of statements and advice.

Got another video, prof?

[THECORBYLOON]

In 2012 he claimed wind turbines would almost destroy Scotland's tourism industry. When he was asked for evidence of that, he said he was considered a world class expert in tourism and he was the evidence.

A man of many talents, clearly.

[Mozz71]

I love AB ♥

[Spicerack]

Seeing as he builds tourist resorts worldwide, I'd imagine he knows a bit more about it than a bloke who works in the Job Centre.

[THECORBYLOON]

Has Scotland's tourism industry been almost destroyed?
