I spent 25+ years representing over 8,000 criminal defendants in misdemeanor and felony cases. I think this qualifies me to opine on the subject. Yet I still constantly fought with people "who had internet access" trying to tell me my job.
Same with radiological contamination control procedures. 10 years working in radcon, 3 years of schooling, 2 years of business consultation over NRC, CDC and OSHA guidelines, radcon worker on the USS Canopus (AS-34), USS Eisenhower (CVN-69), and the USS Arkansas (CGN-41). Team leader for electrical fires and spill teams. Control Point Access from 87-93. In nuclear power cleanliness controls are a top priority and the procedures are the same used by the CDC ... yet I still see people arguing here with no idea about their use. Just because you can google something doesn't make you an expert or even suitably informed about a field.

1. You've tried to relate that experience to what is going on now in ways that I don't think it's relatable. Making broad generalizations about how to deal with nuclear power cleanliness vs how we should be dealing with this virus is silly IMO. Sure, there is some overlap, but there are way more differences than similarities.
2. Things have probably changed in the last 27 years, nah?

Yesterday he said this:
"I know South Korea better than anybody. It's a very tight — do you know how many people are in Seoul?" he asked. "Do you know how big the city of Seoul is?"
"Thirty-eight million people," Trump said,"That's bigger than anything we have. Thirty-eight million people, all tightly wound together."
There are about 10 million people in Seoul, lol.

In a perfect world, the dumbest person in America and the President of the United States are two different people. But, thats the hand we were dealt.

And he didn’t even answer the reporter’s question on top of that.

Why take this to a place where no one wants to go. People were trying to have a serious convo and there goes the dam.

If he bothers you so much then why listen to every word he elicits. You really don't think you're going to change anything. Do you? If you want to defer to voting well you made up your mind on that before he took office or am I wrong?

I've gotten 5 responses in like 3 minutes. I guess people were interested.

Probably because he doesn't understand per capita, which is what the question was.
In Trump's world, everything is about the biggest, best, smartest, most beautiful, tallest, or largest. The larger the number, the better. Everything else is fake news, nasty and snarky, and inferior.
Whether you disapprove or approve of him, if you understand his angle, he is much more understandable.

What opinion?
I've worked in the financial field for 20 years. You going to default to my experience and opinion on ALL THINGS financial and business? Probably not, right?

I get his angle, even though it took me a year or two. It’s just infuriating that it works on people.
