In reply to the discussion: trump tells Reno how to pronounce Nevada. [View all]Sunny05
(865 posts)40. Oh, I have thought the same!
Sometimes when people react to him saying, 'How stupid does he think we are?' -- like when he tried to take credit for Pence debate with lines that were obvious "sales" attempts and then this Nevada thing -- sometimes I think it reflects his lack of intelligence.
Seriously.
I think he cannot come up with more sophisticated ways of trying to convince people to vote for him or that he's smart or that he didn't make a mistake pronouncing Nevada. There is not a higher intelligence or sophistication gear for him to shift into. And he knows that if someone else used similar lines, they would work on him.
