Trump: "I don't know what it is. I like the tough people better than I the soft, easy ones. I don't know what the hell that is. That's a personality problem I suspect. But this gentleman from a place called Turkey has one of the most powerful armies in the world... I want to thank President Erdogan"

Stupidity, warned Carlo Cipolla, wields more power than any organized gang or industrial military complex and seems to be a constant force in history.
