Who is this stupid piece of liberal literature  supposed to be directed at these days? Yourselves? Us? Any liberal out there some where who is still dumb enough to believe liberal crap like this these days. Personally, I think he's smarter than all the high minded liberals combined  on your side these days.

The President is a liar, and the people who believe him no matter how frequently he lies are fools. 

Trump brags about how bright he is -- but I see at most a mediocrity. Truly intelligent people know what their limits are, and as a rule they know that knowledge does not flow from brilliance. Two professions full of brilliant people -- law and medicine --  know that attorneys would be helpless doing medicine and that physicians would be incompetent lawyers. It is safe to say that Barack Obama is a brilliant man,  and as one would expect of someone like him, when the Deepwater Horizon catastrophe happened (the oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico) exploded, Obama made clear his limitations: he was not a trained engineer, so he could do little himself. 

Truly wise people, and most of those are brilliant people, recognize their limitations and are more likely to lament their limitations than to flaunt their brilliance. Trump is about as fake-brilliant as those people who waste money to show how successful they are so that they can (supposedly) attract even more wealth toward them are genuinely rich. In case you didn't know, the truly rich have better things to do with their lives -- like making money -- than spending it on gaudy displays of wealth.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist  but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
