Trump’s NO idiot savant.

 

Trump’s NO idiot savant.

He’s no regular savant either

Trump’s intellect is average.

            At best.

            Yet I keep reading comments from Trump’s MAGA cult about what a genius Trump is.

            First of all Trump threatened to sue any school from high school on up not to release transcripts of his grades.[1] [2] You know why? His grades weren’t good. His daddy could buy him into the school but not grades good enough to brag about. Daddy couldn’t buy him intellect. Besides, Trump would brag about having good grades but he never has. Good grades generally require doing the work. (BTW it’s illegal for academic transcripts to be released without the person’s permission.) He did NOT graduate with honors.

Trump currently speaks at a 4th grade level.[3] Some outlets have gone so far as to place his speaking ability at the 7th grade level but they’re outliers.[4] Some of the transcripts of his speeches are simply gibberish so I tend to go with the 4th grade evaluation. It's no wonder he’s such a hit with the MAGA cult.

            How about his “genius” business acumen? Well, he managed to go bankrupt 4 times.[5] Three of which were casinos. How do you do that once, let alone 3 times?  It’s almost like he didn’t learn anything. I guess the genius part is that he loses other people’s money, not his own.

Trump had to pay a $2 million dollar fine for stealing from his own charitable foundation. Charity. Why would a billionaire steal from his own charity? Same reason he grifts money from his MAGA cult. Because he can.

            For a little refresher here’s a list of Trump’s failed business enterprises obtained from one of his own legal filings.

  • Trump Shuttle, FAILED (Defaulted on loans)
  • Trump University, FAILED (Lawsuits filed. He lost.))
  • Trump Vodka, FAILED
  • Trump Mortgage LLC, FAILED (Financial services)
  • Go Trump dot com, FAILED (Travel site)
  • Trump Steaks, FAILED

            Under Trump’s “leadership” during the last year of his first presidency the economy collapsed due to the Covid pandemic and a few hundred thousand people died unnecessarily because of his ineffectiveness as President. That wasn’t genius in action. It was inaction.

            What Trump excels at is being a legal thug thanks to a lawyer of his by the name of Roy Cohn who provided Trump with a modus operandi that has served him well.[6] It kept him out of prison in 2024 when he was convicted of committing felonies. These aren’t genius chess moves that he makes. It’s behaving and acting like a mob boss and doling out money to underlings.[7] [8]

            Now Trump is using the power of a President to become America’s Führer and gain direct access to money through contracts just like he did with inauguration money.[9] Christian Nationalists are helping him do it. They want their anti-Christ in office!

They desire access to the throne.
