Trump’s level of intelligence is irrelevant to the damage he’s inflicting on American society and humankind as a whole.
OK, he’s smart enough to have pulled off, so far at least, the greatest con in world history, but his defining characteristic has nothing to do with his IQ. It lies in his singular ability to tell bald-faced lies that are eagerly accepted by large swaths of American voters.
In November, tens of millions of people will go to the polls and cast their ballots for a man who has convinced them that the 2020 election was rigged against him, that the country’s problems stem from the radical left, and that he is the only person on Earth who can fix those problems, even though he is being unfairly prosecuted by the Deep State and woke liberals.
IMO, there is no antidote for this poison, no cure for this disease. It’s something that needs simply to run its course, like a case of the flu.
Trying to have a rational discussion with people who think this way is like trying to teach your dog to play the violin.
Thomas Paine put it better (see right).

Trump Delays Turbine Tariffs, Pentagon Approves Two Projects
My family is one of countless millions of those that have been profoundly disfigured by Fox News since it came along in the late 1990s. In particular, my well-educated and well-read mother, in her mid 70s at the time, started to imbibe many hours of this right-wing propaganda per day, and soon began to parrot it at the dinner table, to the shock and horror of all those around her.
The point here is that she told me, shortly before she died, “Obviously, I don’t have a single point of agreement with Bernie Sanders, but I must admit that he’s completely sincere in his beliefs and in what he’s telling the American people.”
Steve Martin may be the most talented person in any of our lifetimes. And, like many celebrities, he keeps his politics to himself, which is, of course, his right.
But ask yourself: Is there any chance at all that this powerhouse has the same political sensibilities as the white folks in rural Alabama?
If Steve Martin Voted so as To Keep Trump in Office, I’m a Bald Eagle
