Let's not go back to pretending Putin is smart again please. They are both bloated, arrogant pieces of shit that surround themselves with yes men and don:t care for reality until it hits them in the head.

I mean... Putin is far, far more intelligent than Trump.

Yes, they're both arrogant, brutal bullies, surrounded by yes men... but, to keep with Trump's metaphor, Putin can actually correctly read most of the cards in his hand, and can actually manage a poker face.

Trump on the other hand, correctly understands maybe a single card in his hand, doesn't realize he is constantly accidentally turning and angling his cards so everyone can see them, drops a card or two every 30 seconds, and is also completely convinced he has the greatest poker face in the history of poker faces, when in reality he has near 0 ability to hide his true expressions in an actual adversarial situation.

Saying somebody is smarter than Trump is like saying somebody smells better than a skunk. It applies to everybody.

I'm not sure it applies to the people who voted for him.
