It still surprises me that someone who is so irredeemably and embarrassingly stupid and unintelligent, can yet be so powerful and cause so much harm and damage to so many of his fellow citizens and the world around him.
"Trump says he'll release MRI results; he doesn't know what part of his body was scanned"
@paulhellyer "Irredeemably and embarrassingly stupid and unintelligent" half his voters are the same or worse. The other half think someone that stupid and unintelligent can be manipulated to do what they want.
@billbennett bingo. This exactly.
I remember a study of #Trump voters when he was first elected that found his voters to be a coalition of something like five distinctive groups with dramatically opposite values and expectations. For example, one group wanted freer trade while another group wanted it restricted.
So what you say here nails it: one group of his voters actually think he is really really smart and capable while another group of his voters thinks he's an absolute moron that can be manipulated.
But in the end, yay democracy.
He's a fine representation of the population here. I don't know why we would expect anything better given the level that voters are at.
