Question: What do you call someone who lost $1 billion in one year, and in the casino business for gods sake? Answer: A business genius. What do you call someone who, like honey boo-boo and the duck dynasty guys has his own reality show? Answer: a theatrical genius.(It is a little-known fact that Einstein while at the Institute for advanced studies had a local TV program called" the PhD candidate". The contestants we're asked to create a coherent theory combining gravity with the other three forces. When they failed, and they all did, Einstein would say" you're transferred", and send them to the University of Phoenix to teach intermediate kudoku.)
What do you call someone who's plan to ensure the safety and security of his country is based on the precident of the Maginot line? Answer: a military and defense genius. What do you call someone who believes he can manipulate the near dictator of China by offering a piece of chocolate cake? Answer: a geopolitical genius. What do you call someone whose response to concerns about climatic change is a call to revitalize the coal industry? Answer: a scientific genius. What do we call an "Author" whose ghost writer describes him as having the attention span of a child with ADD? Answer: we call him a literary genius.(Rumor has it that he is still livid about being bypassed for the Nobel Prize for literature.)
Apparently Einstein and others such as Richard Feynman, John von Neuman etc. did not wander the halls proclaiming themselves to be a genius. They left that to others. You can imagine the frustration of our man Donnie as he waits to be called a genius as he so richly deserves. What is a fellow to do? Or to put it another way, who can be better to recognize a genius than a genius? Others may call it ignorance, incompetence and delusion but there is one guy who knows better. What do we call him? Answer: God help us we call him the president.
