Yeah, Trump isn't a sociopath. He has a shtick which isn't unusual given his profession. After listening to him, I don't think he's being deceptive, he ad libs pretty consistently to the same beliefs.
I don't think Trump lacks education. He's not a stupid person and his family had the money to get him a decent education which he took advantage of. I expect the media to say he's stupid because they have never said any Republican is educated or smart.
Mr. Catmull's line is one of those "I'm smatter than everyone else and see the truth" lines often used in politics (and sadly, journalism). The common people would think just like me if they weren't mislead (charitable reason) or stupid (malice reason). He really isn't examining why Trump won the nomination, but I wouldn't expect him too since he made his mind up already.
Of course, his own actions in regards to worker pay while at the same time touting how important his people were might face the same accusations.
He was a hero of mine, then the scandal was revealed and there was no apology, now he's been just another brick in the wall.

Actually, I think he's getting at that very point in his statement. The 'sociopath' and 'missing clues' comment certainly frames it a certain way and reveals his bias, but to be fair he does state in the very following sentence, "What are the fears inside of them that get us to this place"
- protomyth 10y agoI thought the fear line just reinforced the negatives directed at the voters and his made up mind. Everyone has fears, but I think focusing any honest enquiry of Trump's nomination on voter fear is just not looking very hard. It neglects the history and attempted influencers.
