#HanlonsRazor states:

"Never attribute to #malice that which is adequately explained by #stupidity"

I'd like to announce that Hanlon's Razor has been absolutely destroyed, dead, and buried, by Donald #Trump

Asked about why he didn't tell allies about the #IranWar, with #Japan's PM #SanaeTakaichi beside him, Trump said:

"Who knows better about surprise than Japan? OK, why didn’t you tell me about #PearlHarbor? You believe in surprise, I think, much more than us"

🤦🤦🤦

Trump makes Pearl Harbor joke during meeting with Japanese prime minister

Trump invoked Japan's December 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor when speaking about recent U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran during a meeting with Japan's prime minister.

@benroyce

we need a term for equal parts malice and stupidity, both in full force...

@tomjennings @paul_ipv6

when the north koreans insulted trump in his first term, they used an outdated translation resource and used the antiquated word

"dotard"

which was unexpected genius on north korea's part

@benroyce

Dotard is a lovely word!

Im gonna use that.

@tomjennings @benroyce

guess my days as an english major and lots of 19th century lit had me bumping into it fairly commonly. but it is stunningly apt as a description of him.

@paul_ipv6

i suggest the following term for colossal evil and colossal stupidity at the same time

"they're so evil and so stupid they're uranium"

uranium:

dense, toxic, and radioactive

@benroyce

with an endless supply of idiots who think it's the way to power and ignore the toxic waste you have to deal with...

@benroyce Superlative plutonium?
