trump IS NOT dumb, he is IGNORANT, but not dumb.

Some people have a knack to do evil, that is trump, and they are good at it too. Yes, he is very ignorant, doesn't learn good things, he only has capacity to learn bad things, those he can understand and identify with, but he is right, trump is not dumb, and I feel it is a mistake that many of us have made, we have underestimated his cleverness for evil.

We all know he loves to lie, but that is his tool as well, he likes saying off the wall stuff to get attention, he knows people will be talking about him and because he has no shame, he doesn't care if they make fun of him. There is a difference between his need for adulation, and his knowledge that he is hated, so he expects hate to come his way and he is fine with that, the adulation he cannot live without is that from his base.
