This Does Not Compute

We're going to turn this over to Trump himself.  Appearing on Fox, he's asked about his son Barron's skills.  And Trump enthuses about how "amazingly skilled" the young man is with computers.
 
When I first saw this, I started to type about how “Imagine the reaction from the far right if President Biden said something this creepily inept and out of touch with reality.”  But I stopped and held off, because I realized it's not a case of that at all, but rather…imagine the reaction from everybody if anyone over the age of three said something so creepily inept and out of touch with reality.

And after watching this short video, I feel comfortable with next to no one thinking that I am exaggerating.

This is the president of the United States.  In charge of the nuclear bomb.  Overseeing the dismantling of U.S. government.  Ordering the closure of the Department of Education.  Deporting suspected illegal immigrants without a trial or hearing.  Creating an enemy with Canada...wanting to make Canada the 51st state.  Wanting to buy Greenland.  Wanting to put tariffs on many of our allies.  Throwing our ally Ukraine under the bus. And embracing Putin and Russia. 

The president of the United States.

This is so unearthly inexplicable that it may even transcend repeating that he has early dementia.  This is on another level of total cluelessness.  Though having dementia doesn't help...

​Yes, really.

Trump is amazed by his son's "amazing aptitude" with technology, because he knows how to turn on his computer.

This is a pretty much the equivalent of knowing how to turn on a lightbulb.

My mother was a technophobe.  But if you showed her once how to turn a computer on, she'd know how from then on.

I'm sure that defenders of Trump will have some explanation of what Trump "was really saying."  (tm)  But not only can everyone hear what he was "really saying," if someone needs translators to explain what you were "really saying" about how "amazingly skilled" one has to be to to turn on a computer, then you've already lost the battle.
