Dana Milbank is such a lame hack.

- Snip -

“No one has suffered as many fools as Trump has. But this is to be expected when a “very stable genius” leads a “stupid country.”

Trump knows “more about courts than any human being.” He knows “more about steelworkers than anybody.” He knows “more about ISIS than the generals do,” and “more about offense and defense than they will ever understand.” He knows “more about wedges than any human being that’s ever lived.” He even knows more about medicine than his doctor, dictating a doctor’s letter predicting he would be “the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency.”

Really??? What a stupid typo!!! Obviously, the author meant “wedgies”. He owes his readers, not to mention our pResident, a sincere apology.

Milbank has been brilliant in recent months. For that matter he may have been all along and I have only recently noticed.

I wondered for a moment when after I read the piece if you might be joking about Milbank. These days, the truth and satire are such a small hair's breadth apart it is difficult to tell some times.
