I would put it this way: Putin is a smart guy who knows what Western liberalism is & why he opposes. He's able to make alliance with dumb-ass like Trump who hates a subspecies of Western liberalism (Democrats) & doesn't understand larger conflict.https://twitter.com/DouthatNYT/status/1144962701879382016 …

Trump's confusion on "Western liberalism" is also an example of one of his prime traits: he's incapable of abstract thought. That's often a strength as a politician since it means he talks in concrete terms people can understand (wall, oil, jobs).https://twitter.com/DouthatNYT/status/1144962701879382016 …

It was a cheap gotcha question by a reporter that knows very well Trump has no idea what Western liberalism is.

I mean the man is a fucking amoeba. Reporters should be limited to asking Trump questions like, “Light. Move towards it or away?”

No real gymnastics needed. The human brain constantly tries to see pattern in chaos. It's the basis of conspiracy theories, numerology, and why people see Jesus on pieces of toast.
