Trump is A LOT of things, at heart. Donald Trump is probably one of America's most ambitious men ever.
he's not as dumb as comedians try to make him seem, but he's really more "experienced" than he is "smart." he also knows that he's not actually a genius and, paraphrasing.. "I only hire the best and brightest." he surrounds himself with people who are experts in things he has no idea about.
one of his biggest weaknesses is that he's a terrible steward when it comes to his responsibilities. he likes to conquer but has no idea how(or desire) to maintain it and take care of it. since he passes his responsibilities on to other people, a lot of shit goes down lolololol
since Trump is in league with certain demographics and put many of these like-minded folk in positions of power, a lot of "events" have gone down between 2016 and 2020 while he went golfing. 2021 is the first part of the aftermath.
that's how he ran his businesses and he promised to run America like he ran his businesses. he starts/buys out something, puts his name on it and moves on to the next thing while somebody else handles the smart stuff.
even Melania was a trophy for him lol. he claims to always win and never loses. his own words...
she ain't a happy woman either.
you hit the nail on the head.
no one would say castro, Chavez, maduro, or the African warlords can solve differential equations or explain the Krebs cycle, they probably cant even write a letter in their own language without spelling like a grade schooler.
however they have a gift for manipulating the masses, attaining power and destroying everything they touch. They can take over entire countries, stigmatize entire races or political ideologies and they can even change the course of world history. Thats not intelligence, but its something (I cant quite name it) and trump has it in spades
