It was probably unnecessary to correct him, cause he probably did it on purpose. Like how some people on the internet call someone a genius but spell it as "genious" (as Urban Dictionary would say) "to subvert the other's intelligence." The purpose of Papi Chulo saying "You try and act all college level intillect" is to poison the well by presenting Anteater as a person pretending to be a college level intellectual. By making him out phony in essence Papi Chulo is explicitly implying that all of Anteater's arguments are phony too.

Urban Dictionary: Genious

I can't add to the political discussion, but I will say this: I've just watched the live (at the time) finale of the Celebrity Apprentice and it was unbelievable how Trump strode in like a king or something and everyone - and I mean everyone - had to rise and applaud. This was before he was president, not that you would know it. The man is a walking ego.

Ahaha, Im sorry have you missed the last 8 years of emperor Obama, wanna talk about ego there's a case study for the ages... This prick actually flew to the U .K. to tell our cousins how to vote on Brexit. This is the ******* that flew to Cuba to tell people there is no difference between communism and capitalism, this is the clown that is hold up a few miles away from 1600 Pennsylvania ave which is actually unprecedented ( had to throw in a buzz word) is the height of ego, and arrogance. Reality TV is not reality you know there are cue cards or boxes that tell people how to comport themselves yea? Trump has always had ego for 40 freaking years all my life this man has had what if it was a black man for exsample would be called swag. So ****ing what, people who voted for him voted for his policies not his personality. And honestly in 40 years this man has really had no issues in the public eye....Until he ran for office using his own damn money. And in this failing ****ing republic that's boss...

You're delusional. He never put forth any policies, just buzz phrases.

Build a wall. (don't hold your breath)
Repeal and replace Obamacare. (that didn't quite work out)
Bring back jobs. (still waiting. Stock market had its 8th straight day of losses yesterday)
Make America great again. (still don't know what this means)
Drain the swamp. (have you seen his cabinet members?)

People voted for him BECAUSE of his personality. They chose the rookie snakeoil salesman over the career politician because, well, I guess career politicians are suppose to be bad. Or something.

The first three are policies? And you can't have a go at him for those last two, that's unreal. I'm sure Hillary had some **** slogan herself, I remember seeing it on the telly and laughing at how cringe worthy it was.

"Drain the swamp" was part of his 100 days plan and he can be shat on for that for sure. Had he noted that the swamp drainage would run into the whitehouse it would have been useful.

Hillary's was "I'm with her". Ja.

On Trump policies: my impression is that many people in the Trump camp mistook slogans for policies and are now rather alarmed by the distance they have to cover to convert the former to the latter.
For example: "Build a Wall. The Mexicans will pay" is a hollow, unsupported slogan of tweetable length, the kind of statement Trump is best at. I don't think it deserves the name "policy" unless he can detail out precisely how it's going to be achieved.
