There is no way he is as stupid as he appears. But he appears stupid quite intentionally in moments.

I would contend he does this a lot less than most politicians and certainly most of the men who have held his current office in my lifetime. I'm not arguing he doesn't do it, though.

The Trump only folk tell us how smart he is continually.

You may be on to something.

You have to be relatable to the most loyal portion of your base.

I think he misspells words on purpose in tweets from time to time.

And more importantly think that they have some secret knowledge that others don't. For the first time in their lives they feel vindicated and clever. It's an effective tool.

It isn't bait. If anything I admire the strategy.

A lot of these are just genuinely stupid, though.

I'm not questioning his intelligence. On the contrary I'm saying he often appears stupid intentionally to fullfil a political purpose.

I never hear Libtard’s say that Biden was stupid. If you couldn’t see it in him then you have zero credibility for calling out anyone else. And Biden didn’t even have to try.

If you don't understand the spirit of the thread you might be part of the audience I'm referring to.
