(18,494 posts)Trump is as stupid as his adoring fans.
For that matter, I don't think the Trump consistently believes anything other than fact that everyone should stop and listen to him

(4,835 posts)Im certain his contempt is not limited to Republicans - he is an elitist and thinks we're all peons.

(54,027 posts)I seriously doubt this disgruntled former employee has any real insight into what Donald Trump did or didn't believe. This article reads like it's pure speculation and projection on the part of a hack who just wants to get some attention in the Press

(5,270 posts)This woman seems to think that maybe Trump not really believing his BS is reassurance that he is not really racist. I see it differently, that if he knew there was no basis to the lies, he would not have so vehemently spread the lies, exploiting and ramping up the racism of others for political gain, unless he also felt deep-seated racist hate and envy himself.
He operates from gut instinct first with a bit of cynical reasoning from his head but absolutely no heart.
He doesn't have even a shred of conscience, decency or compassion for others.
