It is well known that President Donald Trump doesn’t read books or daily briefings. When asked to say what the Declaration of Independence meant to him, Trump replied:
Well, it means, exactly what it says. It’s a declaration, it’s a declaration of unity and love and respect, and it means a lot, and it’s something very special to our country.
Shouldn’t a president at least know the history behind the Declaration of Independence and what it means? Trump knows none of these things.
The Daily Show covered Trump’s intellectual largesse in the following video clip:
Bruce Gerencser, 67, lives in rural Northwest Ohio with his wife of 46 years. He and his wife have six grown children and sixteen grandchildren. Bruce pastored Evangelical churches for twenty-five years in Ohio, Texas, and Michigan. Bruce left the ministry in 2005, and in 2008 he left Christianity. Bruce is now a humanist and an atheist.

Dumald. President of Dumfuckistan.
If I prayed, I’d be praying for him to be reunited with his first wife. Immediately.
If the DoI is a declaration of unity and love, then Leviticus 19:20-23 is an expression of God’s respect for women.
Gee, I wonder how that nepo baby got through UPenn. And to be fair, the majority of his followers don’t know what the Declaration of Independence is either, despite its obvious name.
I think many of them think it is the US constitution, and are ignorant of the fighting and argument that actually went into its creation after the DoI
This is one reason I adore Pete Buttigege. Finally a mind I can get behind. Trump’s answer is very much like the kid giving a book report who didn’t even read the synopsis on the inside of the dust jacket. What’s even more astonishing is that people buy it. I recall in 2016 Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson was asked a question about Aleppo, Syria. He didn’t know what they were talking about. The moderator said that this was totally unqualifying. (I also didn’t know Aleppo either, as I would fast forward through Syrian civil war news.) But c’mon! Trump didn’t know Aleppo either.
This is probably the most frustrating thing about Trump 47. He’s a dumb guy with dumb ideas, normally not much would happen, but project 2025 agents have been able to surrounded Trump and use him as an empty suit.
