    Experts often say that Trump is somehow unique, but I’ve never understood that idea. If anything, he seems far less impressive to me than a typical politician, due to his constantly broadcasting his low intelligence.

    Anyways, I hope he is unique, since he’s old and unhealthy. He’ll personally be out of our hair pretty soon.

      No one claimed uniquely impressive. Trump is unique in somehow acquiring a cult-like following that is also fine with him violating what they claim are their principals and their own best interests, and even in the face of denying reality. I’ve never understood it - have they ever listened to him speak? Even before the evilness of his actions, how the heck are they hearing anything positive? Anything they wish to applaud or follow? Yet they do.

      I seriously hope Trump is unique. His personality cult has somehow immunized him from limits and consequences, and we really cannot afford another.

      His low intelligence is the reason so many people love him. Well, not that specifically, but because he talks in a way they understand. The same way they talk. Combined with the belief that being rich (even if it’s a farce) must inherently mean someone knows what they are doing, and you get where we are now.
