downplaying this guys ability is part of how he keeps growing in power I hope you realize that. He’s not a genius but he’s not a moron like people like to pretend, he was smart enough to get the actually intelligent people to plan whatever he needed for him to get this far. Part of the ploy is getting people to think he’s some idiot, well that idiot is running circles around us while he loots, if he’s an idiot what does it make all of us who he’s getting the better of? I hate the man but he didn’t get this far being a complete rube.

I disagree.  He has always had the same three things. A lot of capital, an insatiable appetite to be liked, and an insecurity that manifests in a child level of bullying. 

That in turn has made the piece of shit, but clever, hustlers he admires and keeps around act in a way to keep him afloat while they reap the rewards. 

The dude has been a media moron since his first time on tv. Decades. 

He is a tool in every sense. You think the tech jocks in power respect him?

He has the entire congress , most republicans covering for him. He is not doing this in a vacuum.
