"Don't believe him(Trump) when he plays dumb"...

[lame54]

I don't know how to process that

[GreenWave]

1. He's played dumb so long he is trapped in the Twilight Zone!

[Ocelot II]

2. The reference was to Project 2025 - Trump is playing dumb wrt to that

but he knows exactly what it is.

[lame54]

3. I know the reference but...

Trump IS dumb
And I NEVER believe him

Playing dumb implies he's being crafty
He's just a dumb liar

[Irish_Dem]

6. Trump has a dangerous animal cunning.

And yes he can be crafty.

[lame54]

7. He gets way too much credit for that...

He hasn't made a right move in this whole election

[Irish_Dem]

8. You don't become the most powerful man in the world because you are stupid.

[lame54]

9. Is that a George Bush quote?...

Trump is a surrogate for The Heritage Foundation
A useful idiot

[RidinWithHarris]

14. I think it's an idiot-savant kind of thing

It sure isn't education or logic or subtle reasoning going on in Trump's atrophied brain. And his schtick really only works on people with a conservative/authoritarian mindset, primitive animal dominance posturing bullshit.

[Irish_Dem]

15. His serious mental illness impedes his intellectual functioning.

And he is lazy and not curious about the world.

So he finds no use for traditional learning or education.

But he is clever and devious, and delights in tricking others, being cruel, trapping
and beating them down.

4. He's been playing dumb since at least 2015.

He started playing dumb as soon as he decided to run as a Republican. He knew it would play better with his audience.

[lame54]

5. He's not playing

[Blue Dotty]

10. He always plays dumb when he gets caught

and he gets caught all the time so the act is now a permanent condition.

[Brainfodder]

11. He has small mushroom energy lately! Losing the prompter spot and going so slowly over the same BS.

IT WAS STOLEN and I AM THE BEST FOR..... insert groups.... and give zero reasons for the accolades most of the time or take credit for things you aint due?

Just bury him in unmarked on mini-golf course please!

[leftyladyfrommo]

12. I remember one time he said about his

tweets that he always adds a little crazy just to keep people's attention. Right now his losing his mind keeps the news focused on him. I just don't trust anything he says or does but I do think he may be cracking up. Biden stepping down has really thrown him.

13. Walz is a teacher and

students frequently play dumb, pretend to not know what is going on, so they don't get in trouble. I taught elementary school for 10 years, it happened daily. I think of tfg as a 5 to 8 year old, who thinks he is smarter than everybody else.
