Why do people say that Trump doesn’t really know what he’s talking about & that he just makes stuff up?

Well, for one thing, he keeps making claims that have to be corrected later. For example, he claimed that he could do away with birthright citizenship, as though a president can simply alter the Constitution with the flick of a pen. He cannot.

That's only one example, but there have been many. He also lies, seemingly compulsively, he's extremely inconsistent, and has a tendency to speak before he thinks -- not that his thinking is much to write home about. Then, whatever he's said to outrage people, or that reveals his sheer lack of knowledge of a given subject, has to be walked back. This happens over and over.

He's clearly not well-informed, he says whatever comes into his head at any given moment, he's spent a lifetime lying so that it's clearly become a habit, and I strongly suspect that he frequently parrots whatever the last person in the room told him, and then he changes it according to whatever someone else tells him the next day.

It would all be fascinating to observe if didn't carry such serious implications for the welfare of the nation.

Because THEY don't know what they're talking or it's just more of the endless ridiculous Trump bashing.

That s what libs believe because that s what the mass media tells them.

Seems rather self-explanatory.
