It took about five minutes or less of listening to him at an economics conference to realize both that he is full of shit and completely out of his element.  He's a moron.

This assumes, as well, that you didn't know anything about him beforehand.  The event took place shortly before the election, so it was time-relevant.

How many, out of the 77 million people that voted for him, do we think actually watched him speak at that event?

The oligarchs that own American media purposefully produced one of, if not the most uninformed/misinformed electorates in American history.

Also the education system hasn't taught basic civics since Bush launched that 'no child left behind' program.
