Ignorant, stupid, idiotic

Trump doesn’t know his ass from a hole in the ground. Trump is ignorant, stupid, and idiotic. Those three words don’t quite mean the same thing. By “ignorant” I mean he doesn’t know, at seventy years of age, a vast range of basic facts that the average reasonably intelligent 18-year-old has known for years. By “stupid” I mean he’s dull, slow, his wits are dim and weak; given a problem that the average guy could solve in a couple seconds, he will either take all day to work out the answer or he won’t be able to figure it out at all. And by “idiotic” I mean that he doesn’t seem to experience the “koinos cosmos,” the vision of the world we all have in common, at all. All he perceives is his own private “idios cosmos,” the world according to Donald J. Trump. As far as he is concerned, if any object or any event doesn’t involve him personally, either it’s only a nuisance or it doesn’t exist at all.
