    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”

        It’s really just the born wealthy. Your family is the biggest factor in success. That’s why so many rich fucks are dumb as posts, they’re born rich; they didn’t earn it, and they’ve never had to develop problem solving skills because they’ve never faced adversity.

          hes also a very lazy rich person in the way he earns his money. he only does it by scamming which involves lying. if he had invested in a fund i think he would be close to 100bn richer.

            Yeah Trump could have been richer if he just did passive investing. He was born with the bases loaded then bitches about the fact it wasn’t an automatic grand slam. We shouldn’t expect much from a guy who bankrupted both a casino and university.

              someone said if he did an index fund he would be very close if not surpassed 100bn. instead hes always in debt, which made him pretty easy to manipulate by the russians.

        Self promotion is a lot easier with a super rich daddy opening all the doors for you from jump. Don’t forget he’s a hardcore nepo-baby.

          not hard enough for him to get into ivy league school, he had to pay extra to get him into the next best school that would take him.
