I think Trump is just plain stupid.

I don't think he is crazy. He just does one dumb thing after another because he can't think. He can't read and he can't reason.

Mark Cuban said he is kind if a real estate savant but I don't think even that is true. He fucks up everything he touches. And then blames it all on someone else. And it has worked for him for years. He just finds people to bail him out - like Russian mobsters. Talk about stupid. But no one in this country will have anything to do with him.

Then he does all this dumb stuff and doesn't even bother to try and cover it up because he doesn't even realize it is dumb. He is proud if himself.

And now he is in so far over his head that he is just flopping around.

Many of us have dealt with people like him once or twice in our lives. These Suckers can fall into a manure pile and come up smelling like Roses.

He just looks for ego builders and spouts off, everything else be damned.

It is something they have patients attempt, when there is a suspicion of dementia or Alzheimer's.

The individual is asked to draw the face of a clock, and then draw the hands to reflect a specific time. It's an easy and non-threatening test to check for Alzheimer's and Dementia, by testing the brain's frontal and temperoparietal functioning.

I remember when my mom couldn't manage this. She thought it was stupid to even be asked to do it. We knew it was life changing when she couldn't do it.

Mixed with manipulative. He has gotten away with so much throughout his life that he thinks he is invincible. He isn't a mastermind that's for sure, more like a head case. But he will throw anyone under the bus to save his own ass.
