He just starts spewing confused nonsense in a confident tone. Every time.

I'll never forget the first (only) time I watched Trump deliberate a decision in an episode of the Apprentice. I don't remember any of the details of his decision; I only remember my reaction to hearing him reason though it, which was, "That damned guy has no idea what he's talking about. He's a fake." I'd worked with many business focused people over the years, and none of the successful ones I knew talked like Trump did.

When, several years later, he made the news talking about Obama's birth certificate, I was onto his BS immediately because I knew he was a jerk off from the show. People believed his schtick then because they didn't like Obama, not because Trump made a solid case. The way he talked about Obama's birth certificate was yet more evidence for everyone the dude is broken and doesn't really know what he's talking about most of the time.

So yeah, I agree with you. He's not smart. I think he's so damaged, he can't think straight. Literally.

I still find myself surprised he got as far as he did, but I suppose I have long underestimated how willing Americans are to believe the BS from an idiotic "reality" TV show.
I never watched "The Apprentice" because it did not seem like the kind of thing I would be into. I never thought Trump was anything other than a tasteless nouveaux-riche caricature who was always chasing the spotlight. Little did I know he was something much, much worse than that. I was not aware that he was a rapist. I did not know that he habitually stiffed contractors. I did not know that he was a stupid as he is shallow. The idea that he could win the Republican nomination for president and then the election was incredible to me.

But, here we are. A shallow, ignorant, and bigoted nation with a president who reflects our collective character in this era.

Remember when the US reached agreements and accords? Now we're making "deals". He has cheapened the presidency and us beyond measure, and done incalculable damage to our country at home and on the world stage.

Yep. It is because the GOP made business their god. Any clown with a lot of money who dresses in the right suits must be an effing genius who can fix anything.

Well, we know that ain't true. A good portion of us always did.

It may be that stupid is a job requirement in the Trump admin. If you’re not saying stupid, impossible crap, you’re not doing your job.
Pam Bondi needed to break into ultra stupid to kiss Trump's butt that panderingly.
