Take on the Brit Hume critique

The mouthpiece of the administration has regularly been the talking heads on FoxNews but today a true newsman made some headlines by implying the president is too stupid to have made an insensitive remark.
When Trump mocked the Elizabeth Warren announcement with his typical Pocahontas rant many thought he went a step further saying he looked forward to seeing her on the TRAIL. Whether he meant (or even understood) the reference to the Trail of Tears is not important, what is important is that people like Brit Hume came to his defense claiming the president was likely not smart enough to understand the reference. This is more troubling to me than him actually meaning it, it likely means ones of three things

- people (Stephen Miller) are writing his tweets and he doesn't even have the wherewithal to understand the context

- he's so brain dead that he wrote it and still doesn't understand the fact it could be viewed as insensitive.

- he meant it and is a complete pig.


This isn't some Breibart contributor, this is the president of the United States not smart enough (or mature enough) to stop from insulting native people.
