(43,505 posts)IMO "genius" and reference to trump should never be in the same sentence. But your post, your word choice.
I would, however, point out that "diabolical" belongs with "evil," which is a moral quality, not an intellectual one. The point is good and also accurate (also IMHO), but mixing it with a matter of intelligence deprived you of using such delicious words as "depraved," "craven," and "profoundly evil."
Pardon me for salivating at the thought.
So to make it clear, I think you're saying that he's so morally depraved that it obliterates the norm that a president have actual intelligence. It clumsily knocks it out of the pantheon of qualities a president should have, and which presidents like Obama have displayed in profundity.
Thus he made his stupidity a superpower.
There, now that I've over-complicated this, I'll go about my day.
