“Prior to yesterday. I would bet dollars to donuts that 95% of Americans couldn’t have told you what Aleppo is.”

Exactly.

This was the liberal plagiarist fraud Mike Barnacle asking the question.

Aleppo sounds like an Italian puppet maker and is jargon in this context.

I’ve learned over the years that frauds, con-men, charlatans and incompetents use jargon to make themselves look smarter and others less so.

It’s a scam tactic.

Hugh Hewitt did the same thing on Trump asking about the nuclear triad.

They did it to Sarah Palin with the Bush Doctrine.

I could have. I could have pointed right to it on a map, told you some of the history of the city dating back several thousand years, and then talked about the current strategic importance it has.

And I'm just a random guy who doesn't even have any degrees or anything in relevant fields like history, political science, or international relations. I just keep myself informed.

If the majority of Americans don't bother to do this, then it's their fault - not the people who are criticising someone for not knowing these things.
