When recently asked about climate-change by a Washington Post reporter, Donald Trump said the following:
"One of the problems that a lot of people like myself - we have very high levels of intelligence, but we're not necessarily such believers. You look at our air and our water, and it's right now at a record clean. But when you look at China and you look at parts of Asia and when you look at South America, and when you look at many other places in this world, including Russia, including - just many other places - the air is incredibly dirty. And when you're talking about an atmosphere, oceans are very small. And it blows over and it sails over. I mean, we take thousands of tons of garbage to our beaches all the time that comes over from Asia. it just flows right down the Pacific. It flows, and we say where does this come from. And it takes many people to start off with."
No, none of that makes any sense. The one part which really stood out, to me at least, was when the president said, "Oceans are very small." Really? Oceans make up 70% of the earth's surface. That's not exactly small. I have to imagine, if someone asked Trump exactly how much 70% of his wealth was worth, he wouldn't say, "Small numbers. Very very small. Tiny. Like, no money at all." No, he'd say, "So much money, you wouldn't even know, believe me!" Sure, it might be complete and total crap, but the odds are mighty high he wouldn't sell himself short when it came to his funds.
So, given this unforgivable basic-knowledge gaffe by Donald Trump, I thought I'd concoct a top ten list regarding it.
The Top Ten Future Basic-Knowledge Gaffes by Donald Trump
10. "Monogamy is a type of tree. Not my favorite, not my favorite tree, believe me."
9. "In basketball, free throws actually cost $10 per pair, unless you have a coupon. I recommend the group thing."
8. "I'm from New York. Nobody knows New York better than I do. The capital of New York is N, or NY if you want to get fancy, but I typically don't."
7. "A long jail sentence is called a paragraph."
6. "Blowjobs are only legal when you're out in a windstorm. True story. True story, folks."
5. "PBS stands for Probably Bull Sh*t. Fact. Look it up."
4. "In Two Corinthians, Jesus was called His Brightness, because he's the father, the sun, and the holy something."
3. "A lot of people don't know this, but cars mainly run on windshield wiper fluid."
2. "Hamburgers are all ham and no burger. This is why I go for the Whoppers."
1. (drumroll) "The only people I dislike more than folks from the Netherlands are the Dutch."
