Political commentator George Will in his latest column blasts President Trump as someone who is not able to "think and speak clearly."

"It is urgent for Americans to think and speak clearly about President Trump’s inability to do either," Will wrote in The Washington Post.

"This seems to be not a mere disinclination but a disability. It is not merely the result of intellectual sloth but of an untrained mind bereft of information and married to stratospheric self-confidence."

In the column, Will pointed to the president's comments about Frederick Douglass and his recent remarks about Andrew Jackson.

Trump in an interview published earlier this week questioned why the country had a Civil War and suggested Jackson could have prevented it had he served later. Jackson, the nation's seventh president, died in 1845. The Civil War began in 1861.

"Library shelves groan beneath the weight of books asking questions about that war’s origins, so who, one wonders, are these 'people' who don’t ask the questions that Trump evidently thinks have occurred to him uniquely?" Will asked.
