    The worst take from his opposition: “trumps such a dumb idiot”. And it’s why the left gets out-maneuvered; they imagine those on the right as only either 1. Imbeciles 2. Racists.

    The right sees the left as cunning, and strategizes how to outplay them.

    The left sees the right as backwards morons, and strategizes how to insult them. It seems to be the main play, and is doing him a favor by shutting down closer examination.

      Trump is a demented moron who has no fucking idea what’s going on.

      His faceless staff, led by Stephen Miller, are very smart and know exactly what they’re doing.

        if that’s the case, if he’s just an idiot puppet, why spend energy attacking him and his character specifically? It doesn’t persuade anyone on the right, and it doesn’t help the left focus on the people pulling the strings.

        The news, and left leaning communities online, have told me every day for 8+ years that trump is stupid, etc. What’s the point?
