  Convincing yourself that Trump is just dumb is a big part of why we're in this mess. Trump knows very well how to achieve his goals. The problem with Trump is his lack of any discernible ethics, morality, or compassion. Not his lack of ability to gain power and accomplish his goals.

    If you listen to him speak, he is not a smart person. What baffles me is how and why you'd think he was anything but an idiot. Everything about him and his actions and words reek of stupidity. He does not hold any understanding of the complexities of anything. He does not write. When he does, he misspells and uses incorrect grammar. He does not read. He has rudimentary understanding of basics. Etc. So why is it that you find him to be intelligent? What exactly does he say or write that would lead you to this conclusion?

      And none of that has kept him from achieving his goals. He has a genius for communication and persuasion that is undeniably effective. He understands the weak points in our political system and attacks them directly. He's dumb when it comes to things educated people care about. But he's smart when it comes to getting what he wants.

        Did you consider that 30% of Americans are complete lunatics? Trump isn't clever or smart, he's batshit insane and appeals to the barely literate and *-ists that have been programmed with a bloodlust by Fox for two decades.

            The bell curve is hard for some people to grasp...

        This is an amazing take. You're actually equating his position as a political puppet to being smart. And worse, you actually think he is!
