You do know that Trump didn't write that book and the guy who did has apologised ? The MAGA cult members believe an awful lot of crazy things, but I think that's the craziest of all - believing that he wrote a book.
Trump has never read a book in his life, and he doesn't even know how to hold or open one (just think back to that photo-op he did with a Bible in front of a church).
To believe that he actually
wrote one is possibly the greatest display of gullibility in the history of mankind.
It's akin to believing that Melania married him for love, or that Epstein committed suicide.
If he got someone else to write it while he played golf that's even smarter.
He outsourced it.
Genius
From a purely financial standpoint, sure, it might make sense, if his time is so valuable that outsourcing the work saves money. It's the same logic that might justify taking a helicopter to the airport if you're a high-flying executive whose time costs more than the chopper or the private jet.
But that's not what's happening here. Trump, and more importantly his supporters, are parading this ghost-written book as proof of his intellect and genius. Yet if he didn't write it, that argument collapses completely.
The best they can do, the best you can do, is applaud him for being like Homer Simpson asking, "Can't someone else do it?"
And just like in The Simpsons, where that laziness led to the entire town being destroyed and rebuilt elsewhere, Trump's doing much the same thing to the United States, tearing it down through arrogance and incompetence, only without the cartoon's self-awareness or humour.
Why would anyone be impressed by someone writing a book.
Half the numpties on earth could write a book.
What is impressive and shows remarkable intelligence is for a private citizen to take over the 2 party system and dominate the world's most successful economy to the point where he is the most powerful man in history.
Now that's a rare rare rare skill set.
I could teach an autistic 5 yo to keep posting pics of Trump and Epstein online a dozen times a day.
That requires an IQ of maybe 60.
Very unimpressed.
But taking over the military, turning around a decade of woke , ending mass immigration, not just in the states but potentially Europe.
That requires real brainpower strategy and social intelligence.
If you think it doesn't , I suggest you try it
