hollow_shrine posted...He knows that white privilege is keeping his ass afloat Is there a reason why I should shut up? I feel like I'm on to something here. If nothing else, no one else but a white man could do and say the things Trump did and said, even prior to announcing his 2015 presidential candidacy and actually clench the nomination, let alone the presidency. That is classic white privilege there. --- https://i.imgtc.com/zyQ3oRW.jpg 15 Transwomen of color have been murdered since 1/1/2017 ... Copied to Clipboard!

Stupid? No. He knows that white privilege is keeping his ass afloat and that the people who elected him will do literally anything to keep from acknowledging that. So he plays to that base, and makes them feel good about themselves, and they enshrine him. Hell, even white people that don't support him have to downplay his racial politics, because they know that if they dig too deep into unpacking it, what they'll uncover will implicate them too. He can be stupid in addition to those things. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Alright. I'm merely pointing out that when it comes to navigating the nuance of American racial politics and how they have propped up his campaign, Donald Trump is actually quite clever. Daily, he shows us the new depths we will sink to as a people to justify or equivocate for him, or even merely tolerate him. --- https://i.imgtc.com/zyQ3oRW.jpg 15 Transwomen of color have been murdered since 1/1/2017 ...

I mean...you guys are clearly judging Trump's intelligence by singling out a small sample size of his actions from a small sample size of the overall amount of ways intelligence is used. What's the deal? It's true. He continues to draw breath. His brain is presumably still regulating his heart beat. He's got a healthy sex drive. He's mostly learned the mechanics of human speech, has a workable grasp of English, and knows words. He has the best words, and everybody, people are saying, people don't say that enough. He has the best words. So sure, when you ignore surrounding context and lower expectations enough, anyone looks like glowing example. That post, for example is an admirable attempt to try and get this topic to look at the bigger picture of what all comprises human intellect. --- https://i.imgtc.com/zyQ3oRW.jpg 15 Transwomen of color have been murdered since 1/1/2017 ...

Hell, even white people that don't support him have to downplay his racial politics, because they know that if they dig too deep into unpacking it, what they'll uncover will implicate them too. Pointing to the FiveThirtyEight article I posted earlier, I still think you are giving him too much credit for some of those things. There are moral and ethical reasons that some people didn't try to go down the race-baiting dog-whistle path that Trump did. It's not just a matter of them not being smart or clever. Often he does things that get in the way of his own objectives. You can point to any distraction he causes or red meat tweets he sends out as him "changing the narrative" or something like that, but it hasn't made it easier for him to govern. The fact that people defend his actions doesn't make them clever, unless he actually benefits rather than treads water. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

He's just extremely arrogant and without his team of yes men and sycophants he gets exposed basically. He's a joke human being. He's basically like a caricature of a rich tycoon is how I see him, but still a large child because he never had to develop the requisite skills, and he's just a showman who has managed somehow to keep fooling people.

But is that a speech he had time to write out and deliver? Or was he responding to a question on the spot? Or was he just winging it? He said that in a speech. Even if someone asked a question, that answer is more than a lack of skill with speech. That is a rambling nothing that makes no point. So yeah, I think he's stupid.
