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.

The words at left are 100% correct.
Yet, Trump has one capability that’s rarely if ever seen: He can invent stories that have no basis in fact–and convince tens of millions of Americans that they’re true.
Trump flip-flops? Who cares? Anyone who believes a single word coming out of his mouth is an idiot.
