The local radio wingnut talkshow host demanded that we DRUMPF haters might attack him for many things, but NOT that he is "dumb", which set me off on this thread last week:

The local radio talk show wingnut says we should stop calling DRUMPF dumb, that he is SMART
********Now, putting a point on it::
Yaas, the last ditch for wingnuts to find something to praise about DRUMPF, for something to demand RESPECT for him, surfaced last week when the local radio wingnut went on a rant so pitiful in conviction and intensity that it didnt even meet the level of being a rant: He whined how we DRUMPF haters should recognize/admit/admire DRUMPF for being *SMART* because he was a BUSINESS SUCCESS even, EVEN, he said, if maybe DRUMPF isnt really a billionaire or maybe is swamped in loans to cover his financial empire.
Notice that the larger picture, about how wingnuts have turned on a dime to violate everything they have claimed in my lifetime to stand for things like, patriotism/freedom, anti-Russia-ism, Capitalism, and yes RELIGION or rather RELIGIOSITY, family VALUES is not even a larger picture, is not IN the picture.
But his piteous demand for RESPECT for SMARTNESS comes down to one of the visceral wounds for wingnuts: Their eternal CHIP ON THE SHOULDER about being looked down on, sneered at, disrespected by Liberals (so say the wingnuts). Some of this CHIP is Southern heritage, the urban/rural divide, the North/South divide, the East/West divide.
So here comes the local wingnut identifying with DRUMPF on the grounds that we DRUMPF haters only hate him for what we call his being DUMB (not dumb in the sense of mute). Forget about his TREASON, his mobster/cartel business model, his pitiful insecurity in TEARING EVERYBODY ELSE DOWN, his authoritarianism, and on and on.
The wingnut piteously whimpers that we should RESPECT DRUMPF for being *SMART*. So it's all about WINGNUT (the old name: ) "INFERIORITY COMPLEX" or (the new name: ) "LOW SELF ESTEEM".
But what I woke up to was a pundit yakker mocking DRUMPF and his sycophantic cabinet member attempting to brag that DRUMPF had successfully made a deal with PUTIN for impenetrable cyber security, and the yakker said, What next, why not make a deal with Kim Jung Un for nuclear non-proliferation and with ASSAD for chemical non-proliferation?!1
But on another note of DRUMPF Family *SMARTNESS* what about JUNIORs first claiming that his meeting with a Russkie to get dirt on CLINTON was not about that, was only to talk about childrens adoptions, and within a day then almost bragging that he had met with the Russkies YES TO GET THAT DIRT, but it was all right to meet because NOTHING CAME OF THE MEETING. Oh. But what about the DRUMPF lawyers *SMARTNESS*?! All the entire t.v. audience has heard all its viewing life is t.v. lawyers telling everybody NOT TO TALK ABOUT ANYTHING.

(4,483 posts)who believe Trump is a successful businessman to this 2015 article in Fortune: http://fortune.com/2015/08/20/donald-trump-index-funds/ which points out that Trump's net worth, which increased by 300% 1987-2015, would have increased by 1336% if he had invested the same money in the S&P 500. IOW, he essentially lost money.
