why does no one talk about how utterly moronic the man is? he says stupid shit almost every time he speaks.
He clearly does zero fucking reading.
"They" do actually. There are all sorts of excuses and defenses against the slurs of being an idiot, like Trump is just trying keep enemies guessing by playing an unpredictable moron. The "mad man" theory.
"The madman theory is a political and foreign policy strategy in which leaders deliberately cultivate an irrational, volatile, and unpredictable image. The goal is to make adversaries believe they are capable of taking extreme, disproportionate actions (such as starting a nuclear war) if their demands are not met, forcing opponents to back down."In one of his books he said he's selling fantasies:

Then others refer to his money to prove he's a
stable genius. I know next to nothing of finance and I haven't "researched", LOL, his business deals so tell me if I'm wrong. Seems to me Trump was born into extreme wealth and when he started making his deals he had significant buffers against any mistakes he made in business. He was also privileged in that he had lots of contacts that could help him, such as when his Dr neighbor got him out of Vietnam due to his supposed heel spurs. His son Barron is said to be a billionaire already, does that mean Barron is "smart"? All this said, many say he does possess certain types of intelligence and instincts, but it's obvious he doesn't read as you say so appears ignorant a lot of times.
