42. And this is why we have Trump

"People gave me a hard time and didn't believe it. "

Even today, after everything we have seen, these pages (and basically everywhere else) still talk about Trump as if he is stupid and his stupidity will catch up with him.

His is not stupid. He is narcissistic, even sociopathic, amoral, vulgar, selfish, criminal, deceitful, just plain evil. But he is not stupid. We (collectively) are the stupid ones for not facing up to him at the hundreds of opportunities when he might have been stopped.
