The Ignorant Trump

That’s all Trump knows. (Ignorance)That’s all he cares to know. Ask him about Martin Luther King Jr., and he’ll default to a familiar reference point: the dumb statue controversy. Ask him about Frederick Douglass and he’ll say “amazing job” — the same praise he’s bestowed on beauty queens and Sean Hannity. Ask him about John Lewis and he’ll call the civil rights hero an “all talk, no action” failure, because the only thing Trump cares about is the fact that Lewis criticized him. And he does this because he has no curiosity, and no ability to break free from his relentless self-focus, and no inclination to crack the spine of a book.
