What does President Trump do NOW?

[Apatheist]

Here's one for Americans:
A worldwide survey was conducted by the United Nations. The only question asked was:
"Would you please give your honest opinion about solutions to the food shortage in the rest of the world?"

The survey ultimately failed:
Africa did not know what "food" meant,
Eastern Europe was unfamiliar with "honest",
Western Europe questioned "shortage",
China stumbled on "opinion",
the Middle East didn't get "a solution",
South America overlooked "please" -
and the USA did not understand "the rest of the world".

Do I need to bring up the tweets from when the Pope was elected and someone was amazed that there's a Rome outside of Georgia?
Or the one where they correct someone for saying Georgia isn't a country?
Or all the others where they complain about foreign countries not taking US currency, or speaking English? Or that Mexicans don't speak Spanish?

The government might spend a lot of money, but there's an awful lot of Americans who've never left the US (it's only recently hit 50% having a passport - in 1990 it was reportedly no more than 10%, compared with eg 85% in the UK) and have no idea about the outside world.
As with all other stereotyping, it's not everyone, but perhaps Americans are more vocal about their ignorance.
That said, I doubt most Europeans would know exactly where Wyoming is...or care

I think part of this issue is what is important to an individual. It is not about what schools do not teach. Let me give a specific example.

I occasionally ask my son how he got to a particular location when we meet somewhere. This happened recently when he and his family met us all at our daughter's home. He says he does not know; he went where his App sent him. It is NOT IMPORTANT to him. To me, having grown up without GPS and related Apps, I like to know where I go and how I got there. I use a map in my head and often look at maps (accessed online, btw) before I travel. That is how my brain works. His brain does not work that way; he does not need to use brain cells for such things as his brain is adapted to this technology. (btw: He manages a website for a good size company, so he does use his brain.) His brain is geared toward this type of technology.

I interact with 5th graders at my school and one "showed off" today and named all the US Presidents in order from Washington to Trump. When he was done, I congratulated him, then asked him to name #17. He got that right, too. I will (if the opportunity arises) ask a student in the same class a few geography questions, using a globe to find a country on it. I am curious if such knowledge extends to geography. Are you smarter than a fifth grader?

Most folks these days use some computer technology to find information, including the location of a geographic place. I do think there is value to knowing things and NOT relying constantly on computers and electronic technology. My father-in-law knew roads in the area and could navigate from point A to point B in the area with little effort, even into his 80s. He did not use such technology.

I read years ago that technology makes us human less intelligent. There may be some truth to that, BUT young people today know how to USE technology. Ask a baby boomer a technology question, how to do or fix something electronically; we struggle. Our children do that in mere seconds what may take me 30 minutes. Their brains use the technology and use it well. We have different skill sets. I think knowledge of both is important, doing things with and without technology.

What knowledge is important to you?

Given that my main hobbies, now that I'm retired, are cryptic crosswords and quizzes (on tv when I can, I've been on 4 so far) - all of it It helps, for example, to know that an alternative name for the underworld is "Dis" - comes in handy when the compiler needs it as a prefix.
What makes it harder these days is the amount of media and social media. One quiz show I auditioned for has picture questions - anything that comes up with "YouTube star", "influencer", "reality star" or "social media star" is an instant PASS. Although that gives the younger ones an advantage, they are not learning the "classical" stuff that we did. One example was that, on a show where they ask 100 people, more people recognised Ja Rule than Charles Dickens, which I think is rather sad, since it's obvious whose work will last longer. I actually know more about pop music that happened before I was born than I do about anything from this century.
To be fair, though, when I was on that show, I got a question right about Greek mythology - but only knew the answer because of an episode of Red Dwarf
As Philomena Cunk said: school was easier in Shakespeare's day. For starters, he didn't have to study Shakespeare

[Apatheist]

I suppose, to get back on topic, are you smarter than the President?
I suspect most of us would have the same answer...but of course, he managed to get himself elected twice. It's just a shame that he's managed to do quite so many stupid things.
Perhaps he chose his advisers poorly. What he isn't, by any stretch, is a statesman. He doesn't conduct himself well at all.
I know it's the default for Brits, but when it comes to speeches, Churchill is in a class of his own. Other than the MAGA slogan - which is a good slogan from a marketing point of view, even if its aims might be off - I suspect not a single word of Trump's utterances will make it into posterity in a positive light.

BUT are YOU smarter than a 5th grader?

If I may digress...I've just bought a new computer, so I thought I'd do a list of files on my current one to make sure I'd copied over everything.
After a couple of screenshots I thought "This is going to be tedious" so you know what I did?
I went into DOS and did dir /p > files.txt. Took less than a second and gave me everything I needed.
How many 5th graders know how to do THAT?

It's the subject of the thread.
There's only me and about 300 million Americans plus another 7 billion or so who think he's an idiot. You might like to weigh that against how many think he's a good president; his average approval rating is under 35%. That suggests rather more think like I do than you do.
Of course, you've shown that knowledge isn't your strongpoint, so I'm pretty sure that you won't understand the concept of being in the wrong.

[epic0002]

Post the stats for your 300 million and 7billion claims…otherwise you are STILL just a morbidly obese man who is 100% convinced he willed himself into becoming a woman.

[Pack Rat]

EPIC sillious!

[Apatheist]

Post the stats for your 300 million and 7billion claims…otherwise you are STILL just a morbidly obese man who is 100% convinced he willed himself into becoming a woman.

Well, you claim he's the best president ever... this says otherwise:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_St ... val_rating
as does this:
https://www.economist.com/interactive/t ... al-tracker

In fact it says that even Biden had a higher rating than Trump.

Not quite sure where the other nonsense about me comes from. It is entirely inaccurate (I'm underweight, for one thing) and makes you look rather silly for deflecting away from the issue and going for personal insults, which of course confirms that you know you're in the wrong.

That said, I am prepared to offer a correction to my numbers.

USA population: approx 342.8 million.
Approval rating: 34.9%.
Therefore ONLY 223 million disapprove of him in the USA.

Internationally, this: https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2026 ... e-partner/
suggests 23% have confidence in him globally.
World population: 8.3 billion
77% = 6.391 billion do not have confidence in him.

My apologies for the rounding up.
It seems only 223 million in the US and just under 6.4 billion think of him the way I do rather than the way you do.
I'm sure you will take comfort from those numbers.
