Trump is certainly all of the above. But others around him are much more intelligent. Relatively speaking of course. OTOH being aggressively and confidently dumb and imcopetent was Trump’s charm when he got elected, so I don’t really see one of the clever ones winning. Yes, I’m fully aware what I just wrote there: many people want to vote for dumb braggarts.
But then again, it is not impossible to have charisma AND be intelligent AND NOT evil. Here’s to hoping.
Are evil people just dumb and incompetent?
no. don’t be fooled, there are a lot of evil people who are smart, intelligent and actively ruining society
Trump strikes me as an outlier amongst evil rich people because he’s so dumb/incompetent.
Elon Musk is just as dumb and incompetent. I think they just are great at marketing and having money to waste
