>Guy is a billionaire twice president of the US. He's many things (imho really bad things), but not ignorant.
I'm no Trump fan. Never voted for him. Really really disagree with his politics, but here's some things I think are observably true.
- He understands media
- He understands very well how to manipulate public sentiment and opinion
- He understands the power of celebrity
- He understands the importance of tailoring to audiences
- He's willing to say and do things others aren't. There's no line in the sand for him
You can be otherwise ignorant of a great many things (including tariffs, which he has a demonstrated lack of understanding going back decades) and still get elected based on these traits
