Is Trump Really That Stupid?

 

Donald Trump is insecure as a person in so many ways.  An example is his denigration of his opponents.  By doing so, he assures himself that he is better than they are.  After all, he tells himself, he must be more intelligent since he succeeds where they don’t.

So, Trump holds a rally in Georgia and decides to use that forum to attack the very popular state governor Brian Kemp for his failure to assist in the effort to overturn the election results of 2020.

Is Trump really that stupid?

Georgia is one of those swing states whose support is vital to Trump’s victory in November.  Gov. Kemp has pledged his support.  That endorsement in valuable since the governor has a high approval rating.

Obviously, the smart move by Trump would have been to praise – not pummel – the governor.  To let “bygones be bygones” is beyond his capacity however… That observation brings us back to Trump’s insecurities.  The former president almost always speaks in terms of exaggeration and hyperbole.  Thus, the stupidity displayed in Georgia brings into question his own intelligence level since his self-assessment rates it highly.
