Isn't the USA a wonderful country? Even a completely ignorant person can be elected to the Presidency with no experience and no knowledge and learn on the job! So I thought I would start this thread by listing just a few of the things that Trump has learned in just the past 100 days:

1. Health insurance is complicated!

2. Russia is probably not our best friend!

3. al-Assad is not a nice person!

4. Fanatically crazy right-wing white-supremists are not ideal National Security Council members!

5. It would be a bad idea to declare China to be a currency manipulator!

6. NATO is not obsolete!

I stopped at six for now just because I am soon to head to bed. Not because I've run out of additional examples where Trump has discovered facts in the past few weeks that everyone else knew for their entire lives.

Of course there will be some posters who will declare how wonderful it is that Trump is willing to reconsider his positions. Well, my own expectations for a President of the USA are that they should BEGIN with some basic knowledge, rather than having to learn the fundamentals of the job by making mistake after mistake that place the USA and the world at risk.
 
It's the new version of "The Apprentice." With Trump as the title character!
 
I'm hoping 7. will be a Very Special Episode where he learns what happens when you mix bleach and ammonia.
 
Hey, another masterclass for our hero:
He said they hit it off during their first discussion. Mr. Trump said he told his Chinese counterpart he believed Beijing could easily take care of the North Korea threat. Mr. Xi then explained the history of China and Korea, Mr. Trump said.

“After listening for 10 minutes, I realized it’s not so easy,” Mr. Trump recounted. “I felt pretty strongly that they had a tremendous power” over North Korea,” he said. “But it’s not what you would think.”

By his second term he may learn what the Federal Reserve does.
 
I also enjoy that the "America First" guy is learning about foreign policy matters from other countries with their own agenda.

"China just told me that Tibet and Taiwan are theirs. I had no idea. All those monks trying to steal land from China, SAD!"

"Hey, I just got done talking to Hitler. He told me the Sudetenland was all German, anyway. Totally cool that he annexed it."

I thought it was a Judaeo-Commie plot designed to destroy the economy of the USA by issuing phoney paper money not backed by gold coin.

So pretty much Trump said that China'smuch weaker than he thought.

Well, I suppose if you, like Trump, believed the relationship between China and North Korea was Employer-Employee, then the revelation would be some sort of weakening.

"What do you mean? I told China they should fire North Korea. They can't do that? Whoa, this is way more complicated than I thought."
 
7. Building a wall take some time and cost the US taxpayers money and a few taxpayers their land.

8. Golfing at every opportunity while president is not such a bad thing.

"Nobody knew international relations would be this complicated!"

And yet even the entry-level positions I'm applying for require at least a year of experience.
