I think your intellectual measurement radar is off.
Trump is very sharp.
I don’t know how you could watch last night’s debate (or, really, any of Trump’s speeches or interviews) and come away with the impression that he is “very sharp.” He looks and sounds so far out of his depth any time substantive questions come his way, that it’s not even funny anymore. Any time he’s asked some variation of “How do you plan to do [X]?” his response is some variation of “Trust me, I’ll handle it.” It’s baffling.
Trump is an AMERICAN.
He is NOT a Kenyan Muslim punk commie gay bastard, either.
As evidenced by what?
His bank account?
He can’t finish a sentence.
Those he starts are grand generalizations, free from content resembling specifics.
