    I wouldn’t call him dumb. If he was literally stupid he wouldn’t have made it this far. He knows exactly what he does and doesn’t care. Hes evil as hell, but not dumb.

      The man himself is absolutely dense. Just listen to one of his speeches or interviews for five minutes. But the really smart (and dangerous) people are the ones whispering into his ear.
