He's a businessman; he's not a politician. He definitely faces a steep learning curve.
if you can understand the essence of a complicated business deal, you can understand the essence of foreign and domestic policy issues.
it's not like you have to learn a new language.
besides, shouldn't a smart businessman already understand political policy if he runs his own business? Wouldn't his future business deals be subject to the political atmosphere in the locations he plans to do business?

I don't know why people won't just admit Trump is not a smart man. He is an ineffective communicator and has little to no grasp of most things government related.
This was obvious during the campaign and blatantly obvious during the debates.
His lack of knowledge leaves him vulnerable and overly dependent on his cabinet. He doesn't have any ideology and shifts which ever way the wind blows.
This has been a failed experiment so far and I think most normal people are embarrassed and exhausted at this point.

I saw multiple military folks claim tonight that Trump was right to share what he did with the Russian diplomat--that he did absolutely nothing wrong.
And there are certainly those who don't think he goofed when asking Comey to go easy on Flynn.
I'm anything but a "Trumpkin," but count me among those who won't get caught up in the hysteria that Trump is some kind of bumbling idiot.

Oh Christ.This is literally the political story of the decade. Are they not supposed to cover it?
I do award you points for accepting some responsibility though
With most Trump supporters, its always somebody else's fault.Posted on 5/16/17 at 9:37 pm to a want

I'm going to disagree with you on that bit of hyperbole.
But you're certainly entitled to your opinion.

So many signs were overlooked during the campaign. People treated Trump like an event, not an actual candidate. He could be all over the place in his statements which allowed his supporters to project their version of Trump on to him. He was a rorschach candidate. If you actually printed out his speeches or answers and tried to comprehend them, you'd realize that he didn't have a lot of depth there. They read like a student trying to complete a book report when it's obvious he didn't read the book.

He didn't even take the debates seriously. He was unprepared and ignorant to almost all of the issues.
He has pretty much done the same thing during his presidency. He doesn't seem to take it seriously enough to actually become knowledgeable on any of the issues.

How about this one
Trump: "He's (Putin) not going into Ukraine, OK, just so you understand. He's not going to go into Ukraine, all right? You can mark it down. You can put it down. You can take it anywhere you want,"
"But he's already there, in Crimea"
Trump: "BARACK OBAMA, ...........

Almost as good as this response he gave in a CNN Town Hall. Just read it and try to comprehend Trump's response to such a basic question. We should've seen this shitshow coming....
quote:
QUESTION: Good evening, Mr. Trump. In your opinion, what are the top three functions of the United States government?
TRUMP: Say it again?
QUESTION: In your opinion, what are the top three functions of the United States government?
TRUMP: Well, the greatest function of all by far is security for our nation. I would also say health care, I would also say education. I mean, there are many, many things, but I would say the top three are security, security, security.
We have to have security for our country so that we can continue to exist as a country. We are in danger. Thousands and thousands of people are infiltrating our country. We don't know who they are.
There's a very vicious world. We're living in a very vicious world and we're doing something that is against a lot of very smart people's wishes. I can tell you, it's totally against my wishes.
COOPER: So top three, you're saying, security.
TRUMP: Security. I say all top three are security, but health care, education, would be probably three that would be top. And then you can go on from there.
But the military and the secure country, so that we have a country. Believe me, we've never been in a position, in my opinion, where our country is so vulnerable. Our military is being eaten away.
When General Odierno left recently, a year ago, I was watching him on maybe your show, one of the shows, and he said that the United States Army, the United States military forces have never been so - and I think he used the word depleted. But basically he said they're exhausted.
COOPER: So just to follow-up, though…
TRUMP: And that's a pretty - that's a pretty sad commentary. And honestly, even though he was retiring at the time - and I had a lot of respect for him, good man, but even though he was leaving at the time, people shouldn't say that because you're giving the enemy ideas.
But if I get in, our military will be bigger, better, stronger than ever before. It's the cheapest thing we can do.
COOPER: So in terms of federal government role, you're saying security, but you also say health care and education should be provided by the federal government?
TRUMP: Well, those are two of the things. Yes, sure. I mean, there are obviously many things, housing, providing great neighborhoods...
(CROSSTALK)
COOPER: Aren't you against the federal government's involvement in education? don't you want it to devolve to states?
TRUMP: I want it to go to state, yes. Absolutely. I want - right now...
COOPER: So that's not part of what the federal government's...
(CROSSTALK)
TRUMP: The federal government, but the concept of the country is the concept that we have to have education within the country, and we have to get rid of common core and it should be brought to the state level.
COOPER: And federal health care run by the federal government?
TRUMP: Health care - we need health care for our people. We need a good - Obamacare is a disaster. It's proven to be...
COOPER: But is that something the federal government should be doing?
TRUMP: The government can lead it, but it should be privately done. It should be privately done. So that health care - in my opinion, we should probably have - we have to have private health care. We don't have competition in health care.
The problem that we have in our country is we don't have competition. It's made because the politicians - by the way, I'm self-funding. I am self-funding. So the health care companies aren't taking care of me. But they're taking care of everyone else.
Wait one second. We don't have - we don't have bidding. We don't have competition in health care. And it's a disaster. Obamacare, if you take a look at your premiums, they're going up 35 percent, 45 percent, 55 percent, and the deductibles are so high, you'll never get to use it.
COOPER: You always say you're self-funding. How much do you think your campaign has cost - in the past you said $25 million.
TRUMP: I can tell you, I'd say I'm in right now for - now, I'm in for about $35 million right now.
COOPER: Okay.
TRUMP: We take the small loans, the people that send $17.50, or $250, even $1,000...
COOPER: And you solicit those on your website.
TRUMP: No, I sell hats and shirts and...
COOPER: No, but you do solicit donations on your website?
TRUMP: No, I don't really think so.
COOPER: Yes, you do. You have two spots (ph), where you do.
TRUMP: Okay, whatever. Whatever. It's peanuts.
(LAUGHTER)
COOPER: It's not peanuts; it's $7 million - it's a lot of money.
TRUMP: I'll tell you what, what I've done is I'm in for about $35 million.
COOPER: It's about a third of your campaign is funded by other people.
TRUMP: No it's not. No, it's not, not a third. Whatever the hats are, they also cost something.
(CROSSTALK)
COOPER: Well, according to the FTC you've raised more than, I think, $7 million last time I checked from individual donations.
