Take on the grade curve

Our president called Recep Erdogan today to wish him good luck in his next fifty years of dictatorship. I'd usually let this one slide as it might just be a courtesy call, like when Hillary called Trump to tell him that she was conceding. But when the person making the call has a history of authoritarian moves and totalitarian motives, you wonder where it's all heading. Truth be told, Trump isn't that bright and probably thought nothing of it and meant nothing by it, so since we assume he is just a moron, we give him a pass by grading him on a curve. The guy is a self serving, narcissistic, ego driven, press hating lunatic but we have to be nice to him otherwise he will get mad
