How can any Donald Trump fans think that he is intelligent?

[Workingclasslass]

Donald Trump has just done a big speech to Am fest turning point. He literally said that drugs are bad like fentanyl they ruin your face. They ruin your looks. They ruin your teeth and nobody has said that before and we are going to tell people that drugs are bad.
So basically, just like the just say no campaign that was there back in the day and of course people have as there’s literally pictures of people all over the Internet and every government has said this. This is what I mean. I want to know how people can think he’s so bloody original and intelligent saying stuff which is stupid because it’s already been said before.
The next thing he said at that speech how vaccines were linked to autism which we know full well that’s debunked then how he says how now it was like one in so many thousand people that had autism now it’s one in 36 but causation and correlation doesn’t mean to say that that’s to do with a bloody vaccines .
so yes I want to know how any Donald Trump fans can listen to any of this and think wow he’s so intelligent when he really isn’t?

You're being ridiculously simplistic there. And actually, labelling people stupid because of their support for Trump is part of the reason the Democrats lost.

He's smart enough to tap into those voters who feel ignored and belittled, making them think he understands them and can relate to them. He obviously can't, but managed to get them to believe he did.

I fixed your title for you.

I have still much more intelligent then trump

People get tired of being told everything is going to shit all the time, regardless as to whether it’s true or not, and someone coming along saying “I’m listening to you, I have answers” will be given a whirl by people who feel they are not on the other politicians priority list. Most probably don’t fully believe him. I think there will
be people giving up on politics entirely if they feel this does work out for them either.

I do think that they lost because some don’t want facts they didn’t understand what they voted for. He mentioned getting rid of Obama care now his voters are fucking about and now finding out that meant Medicare and they are now going to be affected. Many didn’t know that Obamacare was the same thing so yes I stand by stupid

Wait until you hear the sort of rubbish regularly spouted by Joe Biden and for that matter, Kamala Harris.

Trump is definitely not the most intelligent however JD Vance is by far the smartest guy in the room.

Where is he lately

@Workingclasslass

"Where is he lately"

Staying out of the limelight so that Trump's ego doesn't get bashed and cause "hurty feelings ".

But meanwhile busily creating the actual policies that will be implemented.

Because he’s rich- so he must be intelligent. Not unscrupulous, not vile, deceiving or manipulative but rich- rich is all the west aspire to.

Trump is rich (from inherited wealth) but unintelligent but an overconfident showman.

Vance is rich (self made) and highly intelligent but doesn't have the publicity profile or showmanship of Trump.

Do they really think he's intelligent though? I don't think they do. The fact is he represents all they believe in - anti-woke, anti-immigration etc. That's all they care about.

Does thinking you can buy Greenland and the Panama canal make you intelligent? Are bears Catholics, does the Pope sh•t in the woods? Would Canada like to become a US state?

Social media is full of a 'civil war' between conservative and 'techbro' Republicans right now. Trump is obviously out of his depth. The MAGA implosion will be fascinating to watch.

Have you ever met a Trump supporter? They are absolute morons and want a president who is as stupid as they are.

I think some of the fans aren't exactly very bright...

@AnotherChildFreeCatLady quite the statement given how many just voted for him giving him the popular vote, the house and the senate.

Right, bc the masses aren't morons and are capable of critical thinking? Have you been to any of the states where he won by large majorities? The people there are absolute morons. The majority of people are stupid and easily manipulated, that is exactly why he won. It's also why brexit happened in the UK.

Trump supporters are either dipshits who didn't finish high school or rich people who care more about low taxes than having a rapist, felon in the whitehouse. It's not really that complex.

@AnotherChildFreeCatLady Do you think it’s helpful or constructive to dismiss the majority of any country’s population in such insulting terms?

I think Trump is genuinely the best carnival barker and conman of this and maybe all eras. He has been highly successful in three totally different and very difficult worlds: New York Real Estate; Reality TV; Winning Elections. This is not a coincidence - the man is an absolute genius in selling snake oil - I applaud him whole-heartedly for his performance.

May I just, this once I promise, quote Dylan? Well I'm going to anyway, so there!

And the poor white man is used

By them all as a tool

He's taught in his school

That the laws are with him

To protect his white skin ....

The white politician, the governer, explains
I
You've got more than the blacks don't complain.

Now, it's me not Dylan, I've probably mangled that quote, but it's always been the truth that the rich/the powerful turn the poor/the ones without power against each other.

"Look over there," that poor person is trying to steal the piece of cake you have. Don't look at me, who has 7/8 of the cake. I'm not the problem, that person is.

The one nearly as poor as you, isnt the one to fear.But the one is very rich, has the means to persuade you this is true.

Sorry, ranting now, but my 70+ years here have persuaded me that this is what happens everywhere.

The solution? Really seeing who is saying what, and asking why they are saying it? Is it another "look over there" or are they actually asking us to look at them?

As an American who grew up in one of those ass backwards red states and knows many people on both sides, I'm simply speaking truth as I know it. The people who support trump are the same morons who talked about injecting bleach instead of getting vaccinated during covid, while the people who see him for the vile piece of shit that he is went to university, are successful and educated and understand that immigrants aren't to blame for other people's shitty circumstances but rather their own lack of any ambition and drive. Let's also not forget we have all seen the group of dipshits he associates with, pedophiles, rapists, q'anon idiots, anti vaxxers, I could go on.

Trump is a moron and the people who voted for him will soon see just how bad it can get for them. Because anybody who believes a billionaire born with a silver spoon in his mouth has the best interests of the "people" in mind deserves to get fucked, hard, and they will.

Id say he's intelligent enough to convince America to vote for him, doesn't mean he'll make a good president.

Who knows what Trump will do, the guy is a blow hard and he's yet to prove he's capable of pulling off some of his wild ideas.

He says he's going to buy or invade Greenland, can't see how that will work. A NATO member invading the sovereign nation of Denmark who is also in NATO...and has said it's not for sale.

Trump is going to take the Panama Canal again how will that work? Or is he just jealous of the media coverage of the late Jimmy Carter.... probably one of the best US presidents this century

He's going to merge Canada with the USA, we've now got a few conflicts going off haven't we....and all this in 5 years...

Let's see what Trump can do....if he does any of the above expect global and financial turmoil.

He's a con artist out for himself.

And he's going to rename the "gulf of Mexico" as the "gulf of America". Dick
