I have been watching Trump’s media releases, and believe he is far smarter than we are told. I like Donald Trump’s sense of humor. I actually lol’ed a couple of times listening to one of his speaches. He’s not a clown, but a class act.
Trump can be a clown when he wants to, such as when he was doing WWE gigs. That doesn’t mean he has to be a clown everywhere he goes. He is earnest, and makes a lot of sense sometimes. He still doesn’t have everything together. Time will tell whether that constitutes an achilles heel for his quest.
