Donald Trump

A bit of both, perhaps?
Possibly, but I’m not as convinced as others as to his stupidity. He has certain traits of intelligence. To suggest otherwise is objectively irrational. Given what he’s achieved with his life (and I know he had a huge leg up from the old man, but even so).

Intelligence isn’t (lamentably) all about eloquence. It takes many different forms.

Person, woman, man, camera, tv.

He may not be stupid but he ain't the sharpest tool in the box either.

Amazing what you can get away with if you have daddy's wealth backing you up.

Yeah, I’m not saying he’s the sharpest tool in the box. I work with people who are. He absolutely isn’t.

Just think it’s incorrect to label him as stupid.

I don't disagree. Having said that, some of the stuff he says would indicate a cognitive decline. Maybe he just knows and understands who he is addressing.

He's always come out with absolute rubbish. There's definitely a decline but I think there's a more important reason why he speaks rambling bullshit more often. He doesn't need to persuade anyone. That's the end stage in cults.

They'd literally turn up to him shitting himself on stage and smearing it over the front row, and give him a standing ovation.

He's a simple minded bigot with simple ideas about the real world.

As you alluded to earlier, he's got away with having such a simplistic world view for so long because of his inherited wealth. Someone with a more average background would be sleeping by the side of the road in a tent and addicted to meth.

Sad but probably true. I'd give you a like if all that were even a tad less depressing. :-(

Don’t agree with this. Plenty of people born into privilege do fuck all with their lives. Nobody could accuse Trump of that.

What he's achieved is running long cons for his entire adult life.

Better to do fuck all than the immense damage that **** has done to society, poor black students he ripped off with his fake university. Families separated by his inhumane border policies. Countless examples.

It's not the privilege that's remarkable. It's his immense stupidity. He's probably been the least educated person in the room at almost all of his social gatherings (I'm excluding where he has charged or paid people to attend).

He's the second son who should have never been heir.

Even immensely wealthy people have some appreciation of the immense damage their spoilt offspring can do. And try to limit it through education.

A man of no taste, no class and no substance. He hasn't had a single coherent original thought. He's a walking advert for higher taxation of the obscenely wealthy.

An otherwise good post was soiled by your binary correlation of education with intelligence.

I am up against people who have better educational qualifications than me every day. Only a small percentage do I consider to be smarter than me. Some are; absolutely. But not many.

It’s an indicator; and not an overwhelming one - that’s all.
