    Well there were a table full of people saying ‘we know Trump can be slimy so we’ll protect ourselves’ and it wasn’t good enough. So I guess they’re all idiots.
    I think it’s fair to argue that if you know Trump has a reputation for screwing everybody over, the only non-idiotic move is to stay the fuck away from him. So that’s probably fair grounds for calling them idiots.

    That Trump chose to screw everybody over makes him a narcissistic conman without empathy or morals.
    The fact that he COULD do it, even to smart people who were expecting it and thought they’d prepared, is arguably a sign of intelligence.
    That he chooses to use whatever intelligence he has screwing everybody over rather than solving real problems-- that’s back to narcissistic conman without empathy or morals.

    You can be a narcissistic conman without empathy or morals, and still be smart.
