I did not call him smart -- nor did I allude to such a thing as that is the last thing I would believe about him.
Just because he is not smart, does not mean he should be underestimated. A very powerful cabal are controlling everything he says and does, but it is not without his tacit approval.
Call him naïve, clueless, delusional and stupid at your own peril.

They’ve overplayed their hand (impossible to put a fig leaf over the economic mess) and the media can no longer conceal the arrogance and mendaciousness and utter classlessness of the puppet and his entourage.
He’s just playing to the peanut gallery when he castigates business (or invites crime-loving rappers to the White Hut, or sniggers sophomorically about moats and alligators in front of a pre-selected cheering squad) in an effort to shore up his SHRINKING base.
