Who’s the moron?

RE: Europe is facing a new Dark Age. Op-ed by Simon Bennett, supplied by Troy Media The Hamilton Spectator 4 Apr 24

Simon Bennett, the Director of the Civil Safety and Security Unit at Leicester University, in yet another tedious hit piece on Donald Trump, concedes that the former president isn’t a moron; he’s just an ignoramus.  Bennett raises Trump’s America Frist policy, saying that Trump believes it will deliver peace and prosperity to his Make America Great Again disciples.

“It will not,” says Simon Bennett.

And there it lies, an “it will not”: a bald assertion resting on nothing but the authority of the great Simon Bennet, unsupported by other argument or evidence.

But there is plenty of evidence that Bennett is wrong; it’s found in the four years of Trump’s presidency, which was indeed marked by great and rising prosperity, not just for his “disciples,” but for all America, including, particularly, minorities and women; and by peace in the world.

Putin invaded Ukraine when Obama and Biden were president, but not Trump.  Trump assured Putin that Ukraine would not join NATO, but Trump also supplied Ukraine with lethal aid, which Obama did not; and Trump obliged NATO members to spend $100 billion more annually on defense, and to live up to their 2 percent commitment.

It’s not that Trump-hater Simon Bennett is an ignoramus; it’s that he’s a moron.
