Trump: [Standing behind a podium, waving a hand dramatically] Folks, listen up, okay? I’m here to tell you something very, very important. We’ve been told for too long that knowledge is power. But you know what? [Pauses for effect] I’m here to say—it’s time to make stupidity great again. I’m talking about the best stupidity. The biggest stupidity. Believe me, we’ve been underestimating the value of ignorance, and I’m here to change that!
Crowd: [Nervous murmurs, then tentative applause]
Trump: [Leaning in, lowering his voice] You know, people—smart people—they’re always going on and on about facts, about logic, about how to solve problems. Well, I’m here to tell you: that’s overrated. It’s all complicated. And you know what’s better than complicated? Simple, folks. Very, very simple. The simpler, the better. And ignorance? Let me tell you, that’s the purest form of simplicity.
Audience Member: [Shouting from the back] But… doesn’t ignorance hold us back? Shouldn’t we be focusing on education and understanding?
Trump: [Pointing dramatically] Oh, sure, sure. Education. People are talking about it. But think about it! When you're too educated, you start thinking. You start asking questions, you start worrying about things. Too much thinking—that’s the problem! I’m talking about no questions, just answers. Simple, easy answers. Trust me, that’s what the people want.
Trump: [Turning to the crowd, raising a hand] You know, everyone’s saying it, okay? “We’ve got too many experts!” Too many thinkers. I’ve seen them on TV. They’re always telling us how complicated everything is. It’s like, “Hey, we’ve got science, we’ve got data.” Well, guess what? Data? Boring. Facts? You don’t need them. People don’t want facts anymore—they want answers that feel good. They want comfort. We’re going to bring back the beauty of not thinking. It's going to be fantastic.
Audience Member 2: [Shouting] But isn't that dangerous? Ignorance can lead to bad decisions, even harm!
Trump: [Raising both hands to calm them down] Oh, come on. Dangerous? Please. People are always saying that. It’s not dangerous. It’s refreshing. The world is too complicated. You ever see a map of the world? Too many countries. Too many lines. But when you’re ignorant, it’s all just one big, happy place. And guess who’s going to make it that way? Me. That’s right. I’m going to make ignorance great again. You’ll love it.
Trump: [Gesturing to the crowd] Think about it. You don’t have to know stuff! You just do. No need to waste time on all that thinking nonsense. We’ll fix everything in the simplest way possible—by not thinking about it. That’s what makes us great.
Crowd: [More nervous clapping, unsure how to respond]
Trump: [Nodding, self-assured] I’m telling you, this is the future. We’re going to bring back the glory of ignorance. It's going to be big. It's going to be simple. It’s going to be great—great again. Believe me.
End Scene.
