It was always obvious he was dumb as a rock
by digby


But people chose to see that as some kind of act because he's rich. There are lots of dumb rich people, especially the ones who inherited their money and then their money made them richer.

Trump is a brand --- like Jessica Simpson. And I suspect she's actually smarter.

Anyway, the chickens are coming home to roost. And they're freaking out.

Why anyone thought it would be any different under this dim-witted, puerile braggart I will never understand. I get that his TV addicted voters just bought his TV persona as a brilliant businessman and assumed he had magical abilities to "get things done" and just say "you're fired" if "the government" failed to do exactly what he said. They believe a lot of silly things and they are brainwashed by right wing media.

It's the rest of the Republicans who have something to answer for. There were those who noticed that the Emperor was not only naked, he was stupid and mentally unstable. They were treated like dogs by Trump's shock troops and many of them backed down. But there were far fewer of these than there should have been.

Now we have this. And the extent to which people are leaking is astonishing. It must be very, very bad.

2. I believe Jessica Simpson is smarter also

She knows to hire the right people to make her look good. Trump only hires goons and he looks as incompetent as we expected.
