"You know, Im, like, a smart person. Uh huh.
The surest indication of how not smart Trump is that he thinks his inability or lack of interest in acquiring knowledge doesnt matter. He said last year that he reaches the right decisions with very little knowledge other than the knowledge I [already] had, plus the words common sense, because I have a lot of common sense and I have a lot of business ability.
Hows that working out? Theres a reason why surveys show more support for Trumps impeachment than for his presidency. From his catastrophically ill-conceived executive order on immigration to his catastrophically ill-conceived firing of Comey, his administration has been one disaster after another. And those fiascos can be ascribed directly to the presidents lack of intellectual horsepower.
...
How could Trump fire Comey knowing that the FBI director could then testify about the improper requests Trump had made to exonerate himself and drop the investigation of Flynn? And in case there was any doubt about Trumps intent, he dispelled it by acknowledging on TV that he had the Russia thing in mind when firing the FBI director. Thats tantamount to admitting obstruction of justice. Is this how a smart person behaves? If Trump decides to fire the widely respected special counsel Robert Mueller, he will only be compounding this stupidity.
...
The 25th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution provides that if the vice president and a majority of the cabinet certify that the president is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, he can be removed with the concurrence of two-thirds of both houses. That wont happen, because Republicans are too craven to stand up to Trump. But on the merits perhaps it should. After nearly five months in office, Trump has given no indication that he possesses the mental capacity to be president."

(22,497 posts)we realized he was just a really good chess player and he got what we wanted in the end?
It was great to watch his mind do those things.
Now we really do have a checker's player - but that's OK because with his disdain for everything good its better he is stupid and can't get things done.

(9,527 posts)He's a grown man that loses at tic tac toe. He really is just dumb. If he was smart enough to shut up, he might get something done. But instead he's blindly stumbling around a yard stepping on rake after rake.
Given all his ideas are horrific, I'm not complaining.
