    He’s not a moron. I don’t know why people keep saying Trump is a moron, he’s one of the most successful grifters and con artists that ever lived. No moron could do that.

    No, you see, Trump says moronic shit all the time but that doesn’t make him a moron, his brain-dead base that fucking believes it are the morons.

    Trump keeps saying the most moronic shit and they continue to believe him. If you wanted to fleece as many people as possible and they believe everything you say, no matter how fucking stupid, you’ll continue to say stupid shit and keep that gift going.

      He doesn’t have to be cognizant of this strategy for it to work, though. A savvy grifter and a moron born to wealth with all the golden parachutes he could ever need are very difficult to distinguish between.

      He is a moron, and constantly demonstrates that by failing to achieve simple goals. He’s also a narcissistic psychopath with dementia.

      His supporters are largely also morons and they think he’s really smart.

      If he was as smart as he claims himself to be, his plans wouldn’t be as transparent and obvious, and he wouldn’t keep being struck down by even his own judicial appointees.
