No he definitely learned it years ago, but he’s a simple boy, he can’t hold too many concepts in his head. It’s mostly just rape, fraud, and now tariffs

That “simple boy” has won two presidential elections and has avoided jail even though he has been convicted multiple times.

Underestimate your opponents at your own peril.

Nah, he really is fucking dumb. Not to say he isn’t dangerous. But I don’t believe for a second he is the architect of his rise

He is a useful idiot pawn for the billionaire oil tycoons and media giants who actually run the USA.
