      Clearly a student of Sun Tzu

        I think considering Donald Trump to have any significant degree of intelligence or political acumen is an overestimation. The Cult of the GOP is a concern and I am worried about how many people have cast aside all sense of empathy and humanity in favor of supporting Trump, but the man himself is little more than a demagogue with a recognizable name.

          You’re right he’s super dumb and not a threat at all. It’s only his handlers.

            A person doesn’t have to be smart to be a threat. Trump in particular is as dumb as a bag of rocks but he’s super dangerous because of his cult.
