Trump has surprised me in many different ways. Perhaps the biggest surprise is his incredible level of stupidity. I’d forgotten that some people born to great wealth never see the need to seek knowledge, wisdom, or perspective. That seems to be Trump’s reason for being profoundly stupid. He learned early on that you can sell anything to anyone if you don’t mind lying. Trump obviously doesn’t mind lying. This is the second big surprise. From his well documented behavior, I knew he had a habit of making grand promises to close any deal with zero regard or intent of ever keeping said promises. He’s not changed his approach at all.
And I suppose I can’t really be surprised at the behavior of his supporters. Imagine how it must feel to have voted for this chump. Imagine the effort it must take to ignore the obvious. I can’t.
On the positive side, if you’d ever wanted to imagine a reality where you were much smarter that the POTUS, congratulations! You are! Almost all of us are. How ironic that the only people not smarter than this chump are the people that voted for him.
