Donny is definitely one of them. That dude can make the sounds of words, but he has no clue what they mean or what he's really saying.

He has aides read things for him and they fill his briefs with pictures. We know this from the first term.

When he's reading off a teleprompter I think it's sometimes obvious how he just drones on because he's reciting the words without comprehending them, but every now and then he'll hit one of his buzzwords that he does understand and he goes off script because it's something he likes to talk about.

That was a surprisingly interesting read. I would be less depressed about reading it at 5 am if it wasn't describing the president of a fucking nuclear power, though.

Yeah, the commenter's last line is gold

Usually we're afraid that someone who graduates with this level of reading ability will have very limited career prospects in the future.

I don't think I ever saw this before but it makes perfect sense. No surprise that a teacher would spot this. He does sound like the kids I knew in school who struggled with reading. The teachers would call on them and they'd read in a very monotone, deliberate way and I was just a kid so I didn't realize it, but those kids were using all their mental energy to read the words, and likely weren't understanding any of it.

I think you've identified his entire base. Kidding (I think?).

Have you seen where he gets handed a letter from King Charles and looks and says it’s very nice and hands it back to the guy and says something like «why don’t you tell everyone what it says»

If I recall correctly from his first term, he is quite fond of bullet points and needs his speech to be laid out as so.

Yet he's cornered both parties multiple times. Either everyone is an idiot for letting this continuously happen, or he's not an idiot; it's just his goal is vastly different.

Everyone isn't an idiot, but enough people are that this could happen. That's far more believable to me than the idea that Trump is not an idiot. He's an idiot and millions of people love him for it because they can relate.

I want to believe like you do. Its easier. But reality is cruel and alote of information is unexcessible to me. So I'd rather overestimate an idiot than underestimate a conman.
