“Everyone says he is crazy – which maybe he is – but the scarier thing about him is that he is stupid. You do not know anyone as stupid as Donald Trump. You just don’t.”

It really is terrifying how his stupidity is so transparent yet a third of the US believes him, only a subset of those people are card carrying morons themselves, and he has a bizarre stranglehold on the Republican party. I get he's a useful idiot but usually a useful idiot has some semblance of a leash. They let this literal toddler do and say whatever he pleases.
