>>> You should stick to your “I’m smarter than Trump!” spiel.
It’s blatantly silly but not as offensive.

If I were half as smart as Trump, I wouldn’t be cleaning carpets for a living right now.

However, your being offended at what I said illustrates my point pretty well I think.

btw... I include myself in a “cultic” trust in Trump that right now is wavering quite a bit... So I can understand you being offended.

I don’t see any way one can have a “cultic” trust in him.
He has earned the respect and appreciation of our intellects.
What he accomplished to become the most powerful man in the most powerful nation in the history of the world is a phenomenon of hard work and ability. Not luck.
That our Founders put obstacles in his way is a great tribute to them, and his obedience to them evidence of a humble faithfulness. As was his attention to the promises he made.
And that’s all from reasoned judgement.

Now that he is freed of the constraints our Founders put upon the Presidency I expect him to have even more success at his project to save the Republican Party.
The Dems/RINOs have no effective counter to him now.

But “Man proposes but God disposes” of course...

His, “I’m smarter than Trump!” spiel is simply a deflection to avoid addressing the criticism. Who was smarter than Albert Einstein? Yet, a student found an error in his work, and Einstein was very appreciative:
The day Einstein was caught out by a student: Letters reveal physicist admitted he got his sums wrong to a 23-year-old who had spotted his error

Napoleon was a great field general, but historians have not been timid to note that his decision to invade Russia was not the wisest. That doesn't make them smarter than Napoleon. It's just what historians do. The inability for certain supporters to acknowledge that Trump made at least one error as president seems to validate your argument. Refusing to acknowledge that a leader can make mistakes is something cult like.
