If everyone just admitted he is the most successful conman in history it gets through a lot of the bullshyt. He was a reality TV star and became President. Republicans have a history of voting in people they like over people who can do the job.

Calling people like Trump, Musk and G.Bush dumb constantly is starting to look like a form of cope
How dumb can these guys be if they are constantly out maneuvering their opponents and manipulating millions all while acquiring massive gains in both wealth and power
People like to boil it down to them being born rich and white but even for that cohort these dudes are massively successful. Can't keep underestimating your enemies while they continually rack up win after win
Like who? Trump Jr? JD Vance?
Are you really disputing the statement that the US has plenty of dumb mofosNo disrespect but I really hope you don't define intelligence by academic accomplishments. I voted Kamala and I will say not respecting his game is exactly why she got her ass kicked by epic proportions.
All you have to do is just step outside and talk to people, the average Americans are dumb as a tree bark

How Dumb Is America: 10 Things People Actually Believe
It probably doesn't hurt much that NBA superstar Kyrie Irving is a flat-Earther, but some denialism can have serious consequences.
six in 10 young adults couldn’t find Iraq on a map of a Middle East. The Roper survey also found that 75 percent of those surveyed could not identify Iran or Israel.
They’re not much better at U.S. geography. Only about half could find New York State on a map.
but about 20 percent of U.S. adults continue to deny climate change is happening, according to a spring 2018 survey by the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication

Would you say knowing the people who are going to determine if you win or not is intelligent or dumb?
Dems obviously didn't know how dumb and uncaring Americans are... He did.... Twice
Smart person would look at the media fact checking and say "oh shyt they calling me out, better stop"
Smarter person would look at the voters and say "they don't give a fukk if i lie or not, so let me make up even bigger lies that'll get them to vote for me"
Who's really the smarter person?
No I'm saying the dems under funding education in urban areas isn't a conspiracy to dismantle education in the US but a feature of capitalism and unfortunately majority of dem politicians are staunch capitalist and pro corporate interest
Probably whoever Trump (or his family) tells them to support.
The thing with Trump, is that he s *special* with being a once in a lifetime thing. He wants dictatorship because he believes he doesn't want a real successor of any sort, and believes that he is immortal.

Well he's clearly smarter than the sheep... And if the sheep vote him in, he's clearly smarter than the other wolf, who probably told them he'd build them a barn...
Now is the wolf smarter than everybody else or the sheep just stupid?
Cause the wolf on the sign was SMART enough to learn what voters wanted to hear and did that... While the other one was busy being too smart for his own good and ignoring the simple rules of the game.... WIN
like a lot of billionaires in america, they are very aware of their mortality that's why they want to do as many "big" things as possible before dying. Trump's "Big" thing is being the most powerful and famous person on earth. Elon's "Big" thing is colonizing Mars. Bill Gates' "Big" thing is ending Maleria.The thing with Trump, is that he s *special* with being a once in a lifetime thing. He wants dictatorship because he believes he doesn't want a real successor of any sort, and believes that he is immortal.
They all want a long lasting legacy project. Trump has accomplished his. He really has nothing left to prove to his buddies that clowned him for not being a "real" billionaire. He has nothing left to prove to his detractors. Were this man anyone else, his story would be utterly unbelievable. The thing both he and Obama have in common. Their presidencies would've been unbelievable 40 years ago
If Trump was careful, he would have changed up his diet of fast food and be aware of his dementia which both of his parent had.
He aint, and WHEN he croaks soon or JD Vance pulls the 25th amendment, all Hell gonna break loose within MAGA.

If you underfund schools for whatever reason isn't it obvious the bi-product will be a dumber populace? You want to give the Dems a pass so bad when really they have 0 excuse for not funding education. They are putting capitalism before education but you want to act like they are ignorant to the results of that prioritization.
I'm sure Republicans have their reasons for trying to dismantle it. Both are wrong for doing so.
You touch on something very important. Trump is not MAGA anymore. Just like Reagan wasn't Reaganomics anymore. MAGA is now an ideology that can have any leader. Trump is just its father. When he dies, it will be, yet another one of his legacies.
Biden had a chance to have his legacy but tarnished it by being an absolute fukking loser internationally. From now on Biden will be associated with Gaza, Ukraine, and Trump winning again.
You think that JD Vance or even Trump Jr has the charisma or humor of Trump Sr? Their "speeches" sound ironically elitist and forced and inauthentic. They don't have that raw ignorance that your lord and master Trump has.
Not a Trump supporter. I've just read about all of these people. I've read The Audacity of Hope, The Art of the Deal, and Smart On Crime. If you take the time to read about these people, you can understand why they do what they do. Trump hasn't changed since he was in his 20s. He's been the same bombastic showman for over 50 years. Obama is a shrewd politician with a disarming veneer; that's what CACs in Washington hated the most about him. Kamala is too ambivalent and that's why her ceiling will always be lower than other Democrats. Just read about them instead of assuming a person falls into one or another camp.
I think it's stupid to not credit these people with being smart. You don't get to where they are by being dumb. All of them have gone to Ivy League schools and are masters of industry and law. Discounting all of that because you don't like them is naive.
