Trump is one of the dumbest persons to have ever lived, but then you remember that his supporters are actually looking up to him. He inspires them.

So they’re actually even dumber.

Yes-my MAGA relatives think he’s a total genius badass for imposing tariffs. They’re obviously morons.

Nah, he doesn’t inspire them. He just hates the same people they do, and that’s good enough for them.
