.MaddowBlog: President Trump is touting a doctor who has made claims about alien DNA and the effects of having sex with demons while dreaming. He thinks her voice is 'important.'
In fact, a reporter tried to alert Trump to all of this yesterday,,"Mr. President, the woman that you said is a great doctor in that video that you retweeted last night said masks don’t work and there is a cure for COVID-19, both of which health experts say is not true. She’s also made videos saying that doctors make medicine using DNA from aliens, and that they’re trying to create a vaccine to make you immune from becoming religious.
I'll confess that I haven't researched this thoroughly, but I'm reasonably sure this was the first time the phrase"DNA from aliens" was uttered in the White House press briefing room. In case this isn't obvious, what's important here is not that some fringe figure peddles fringe beliefs. The internet is filled with obscure voices saying strange things to modest audiences. As a rule, the American mainstream largely ignores those voices, leaving them inconsequential.
What matters now, however, is that the sitting president of the United States would like the public to take fringe voices seriously, even as they peddle bogus public-health claims during a pandemic. I don't care what Stella Immanuel has to say; I care that Trump is telling Americans that Stella Immanuel is"very respected,""very impressive," and has"an important voice.
More than four years later, it's among Trump's single most important flaws. He simply lacks the wherewithal to know the difference between good information and bad, which in turns leaves him incapable of making sound decisions.
