All important people say stupid things. Sometimes, like with Donald Rumsfeld, you can sort of parse the statement to make some kind of sense. "We know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say, we know there are some things we do not know, but there are also unknown unknowns, the ones we don't know we don't know."
Clearly what he means is "whatever, dude."
In the case of the man that the drop-outs, cynically opportunistic investment bankers, morally bankrupt elements, and true Christians, voted into office last November, that may prove very hard. Seeing as unlike Rumsfeld who laid out his vision of unknown things in statesman-like fashion, Dingus von Drumpf contradicts himself.
"We’re gonna find out. And — and, by the way, when I say you’re gonna find out. You can never really find, you know, there are gonna be — no matter what numbers we come up with, there are gonna be lots of people that did things that we’re not going to find out about. But we will find out because we need a better system where that can’t happen."

"You know what uranium is, right? It’s this thing called nuclear weapons, and other things. Like lots of things are done with uranium. Including some bad things. But nobody talks about that."
---Donald Trump

Incoherence and egocentric bloat are a bad combination.
It would be so nice if Trump, Pence, Ryan, McConnell, and Lindsey Olin Graham spontaneously auto-combusted, OR decided that they had been repulsive enough by now and committed suicide.
That probably won't happen.
