“Our leaders are stupid, they are stupid people,” he said. “It’s just very, very sad.”
Of course I have two words to prove he is correct: Billy Long. It's been just over a year since Congressman Long asked me to join him for coffee at Pizza by Stout, a Joplin, Missouri pizza joint, which Long clearly explained he wasn't the smartest man running for Congress, and then went on to explain that's why he paid his fresh law school graduate monkey Curtic Trent a couple thousand dollars a month to keep him looking good. Of course Trent now sucks off the taxpayers for his income as one of Long's faithful servants in Washington. You may recall the interview where Long was asked about this incident a few months later.
You have to ask a question here regarding Trump's comment. If American leaders are stupid, which they are, what does that say about the voters. Let's ask my favorite comedian George Carlin this question and get his brilliant insight.
Garbage in, garbage out, which is exactly how we wound up with a whole slew of undesirable characters from George W. Bush, to Barack Obama, back to Jimmy Carter, to even the auctioneer Billy Long as an example of idiots in Congress. We get stupid leaders because we have stupid voters who don't pay attention. This is the truest statement of the great American experiment in 2011 that I know of.
It hurts to say it. I hate saying it. Thanks to American Idol and other distractions, Americans spend little time thinking about the quality of their leaders, and they are easily swayed by two-word catch phrases like "hope & change" or "fed up." It's just pathetic when you consider our Constitution is a bit more complicated considering the Federalist Papers that define it than a two-word catch phrase. Garbage in, garbage out.
Trump made another excellent point. “There is a really good chance that I won’t win because of one of these blood-sucking politicians.”
This is another truth that I discovered thanks to Congressman Billy Long. Politicians will violate the very Constitution to protect their political careers, right Mr. Long?
I fear, if the great electorate of voters, don't get out of their trance and start focusing on what is more important, we may lose this great Republic. Because stupid voters are electing the very same stupid leaders, both Republican and Democrat, that Trump is calling out.
Of course, when you look at Trump's own rhetoric, which includes confiscation of oil fields from a sovereign state like Libya, you understand too he is just as stupid as the leaders in Washington who have forgotten the ways of the Founding Fathers.
