Trump is a Moron, a Tool and Incredibly Privileged [View all]
There are people who are manipulating him who are incredibly smart, if not brilliant. But Trump himself is a tool with maximum white privilege who does what Putin tells him to, what billionaires tell him to, etc. He has no discipline, nothing original comes out of his mouth. He spews unfiltered vitriol and venom that is spun and propagated by people who are using him, who are leagues smarter than the dotard. People who manipulate him have plans and strategies and use Trump. Theres nothing smart about that. If he was smart he would have never found himself in the position he is in, on Putins leash. In fact, he probably would never have really run if Putin hadnt insisted, because it was part of RUSSIAS long term strategy to destabilize the US.
Now those guys, the Russian Social Scientists (and others) who saw the faults to be exploited in the US and created and implemented a strategy that lead to Trump being elected, well, those are the real architects of evil. You will hardly see them mentioned, and of course Putin takes all the credit anyway, but those are the folks to be wary of, they are definitely on to something we need to be aware of.
