    Yeah everyone tries to convince me he’s smart and the ignorance is an act but I don’t buy it. He truly is mega dumb.

      He’s an idiot-savant. A total moron with a special talent for self promotion. Which it turns out gets you very far in life (along with the head start one gets being born wealthy).

          He developed a cult of personality around himself of significant size and used it to seize one of two pillars of political power in the USA, which then propelled him to power twice. Not smart as in “good for the world,” but pretty successful in the, “empowering and enriching oneself at the cost of the commons” sense.

            yo

            he was smart enough to recognize his supporters were so dumb, they were easy to manipulate. trump, himself is a scamming, found the easiest people to scam, conservatives, its also why they love crypto.

              And now he’s smart enough to see that he can just ignore rules and laws. If no one is willing to enforce them, they’re just for “losers and suckers”
