    Eventho he did dronestrikes etc. at least he had intelligence and charisma. I don’t fucking understand how anyone could watch trump and think that this guy has any brain cells. He is so bad speaker that it is insane how anyone goes to listen him.

        He was one of the least evil US presidents since Bush (the 1st one). Still evil though. just less so than almost everybody else.

        And he is also believed to be a competent president. IMO, I don’t know how to judge that.

          I first read that as you claiming Bush was the first evil president, before I realized you meant Bush senior 🙃

      It’s an easy trap to underestimate Trump, but the fact is that he is anything but stupid. He sounds absurd because we aren’t the target audience. That is why the media laughed in 2016, they aren’t either.

      The fact is that he is an excellent showman and good manipulator. He won based on an electorate fed up with a hypocritical and out of touch establishment voting for the “fuck you” option.
