My narrative about Trump is from listening to him speak and reading what he writes.

From this I get the impression of someone whose ignorance is far deeper than their stupidity, whilst being pretty damn stupid.

The one thing he does seem to know is some NLP techniques, of the kind employed at shady car dealerships, though he seems to be doing that more by rote rather than displaying any deep understanding.

edit - however I do like his assertion in a tweet recently that his first two years of governance have been a kind of German cake.

We're living in a world where neither the entire political machine of the oval office nor the very spell check on the device he is currently using to type can keep the commander in chief from admitting even to himself that he made a simple spelling mistake. Wow.

He is a sports-star of bullshit. He's not the best by a long shot, I have better in my own family, he's not got the vocabulary to play a wide field for one thing, but he is in the leagues.

edit - just reading the news this morning. He is perhaps further up the leagues than I thought.
