He’s just not bright enough to make connections between his conduct and its consequences.
...
The evidence of his dimwittedness flows as continuously and voluminously as the Mississippi River.

4. He's duller than a butter knife

Dumber than a box of rocks and he thinks he's Wile E. Coyote: Super Genius.

tRump's ignorance was on full display in Japan this weekend.

He does not understand that on an international level, paybacks are hell.
