Donald was just 13 when he was sent away and so he had five years of military school. That’s very unusual for a businessman’s son, usually they want them to go to school with other rich kids in order to make useful contacts for later. He was still violent in military school, and once tried to throw another cadet out the window. Two other cadets stopped him. He was so bad for morale when he was in charge of a group that he was “promoted” to a non-people job to get rid of him.
Trump started out in college at Fordham, a Jesuit school, but two years later transferred to U Penn. He only got a garden variety economics bachelor’s degree that he could certainly have obtained at Fordham. He keeps saying he was a Wharton grad, but that’s actually a graduate school within U Penn which shares professors with U Penn. Trump was a lousy student,
One of his teachers who was a Wharton prof and author of a textbook said Trump was the dumbest goddamn student he ever had. Would not be surprised if he hired others to do his work so he could manage to graduate.

Trump has an amazing talent to play people as suckers. He reads his audience better than anyone I ever saw. He could read the people at his political rallies and say what they wanted. he was often extemporaneous, changing to what he thought they wanted to hear. That is an ability that serves a conman well. Trump himself was shocked that his methods worked on so many people at once. He was in awe when he said "I could shoot someone on 5th avenue and not lose any voters". That is not showing of intellect. But it is still a talent. One that should scare you.

Trump is showing Alzheimer's has started in him. His mental ability is showing deterioration. He is too old for the job.

A lie doesn't become the truth, wrong doesn't become right, and evil doesn't become good just because it is accepted by a majority.
Author: Booker T. Washington
From the article: "The Texas Pipeline Association said in March, commenting on the tariffs: “A steel tariff will make it difficult for the oil and gas industry to obtain pipeline steel in a reasonable timeframe and at a competitive price, thus threatening America’s energy dominance while putting upward pressure on energy prices for consumers.”"
So much winning, so much.

He doesn't read audiences well so much as he simply attracts suckers and those with a predisposition toward suckerdom. Folks who would rather glom onto a supposed charismatic persona to follow in the evasion of personal responsibility. Clearly we have seen some turn over all critical thinking to blindly follow and swallow just to be a part of something. If there was anything that Don did "read", it was that this is all our political system runs upon anyway, and that this was right in his wheel house, this grand duplicity.

This is the most laughable statement of the century. Yes, Trump was so dumb he has others doing things for him and flies around in a Boeing 757 with billions in his bank account. Trump is so dumb he is President of the United States.
Meanwhile, this professor who has not been named, is soooooo smart he can't hope to accomplish what Trump has.
Liberals really are the dumbest jerks on the planet.

Trump's mental condition dates back to his childhood. His deceased older brother was the "apple" of his daddy's eye and DJT has never recovered from it.
How sick is this? I bet he tortured small animals, too.
"Once when she left Dennis in a playpen in a back yard adjoining the Trumps’ property, Martha Burnham returned to find Donald throwing rocks at her son. “She saw Donald standing at the fence,” Dennis Burnham said, “using the playpen for target *practice.”

The fact that - outside of the Republican party - the rest of humanity would consider a person like Trump to be an arrogant, vindictive, petty, dim witted, pathologically dishonest sociopath, is actually a window into the black hearted soul of conservatism. Trump is more like a symptom, or feature of conservatism. Which has been a real revelation for me.
That there are consdervatives who spend a considerable amount of their lives on obscure message boards alternating between giving Trump's boots a tongue-bath, and planting their lips lovingly on his gelatinous, flabby ass is nothing short of freakishly weird!
