Great point, and IMO relflective of the thread's topic.
What kind of smarts does the man from O have?
Can he multiply 3 figure numbers by 5 figures and then give you the square root before you can eat a carrot? I doubt it, but so what if he could?
Is he knowledgable about economics, history, and knows foreign leaders on a 1st name basis?
When he gives speaches is he pausing every 3rd word for effect or is he stuttering because he's calculating what sort of message will bowl over the majority of targets sitting in front of him?
Is he smart enough to know that being honorable stays with you every day, and being dishonorable will hound you for life (ask John F'n)?
There's many more types of smarts that he's brushed past on his way to "glory" than he's learned from what I can see.
The one thing he's practiced at is playing people for chumps.
He's a con man. Nothing more.
