Well, let's see...… Trump:
* Is a billionaire
* Beat 16 other republican candidates to get a nomination that nobody thought he would win
* Beat Crooked Hillary in the election even though she had every advantage in the book to win an election that the polls and the media said he would never win.


Genius? I don't know. Smart? Yes.

Trumps father was wealthy, he's a trust fund kid, not a self made man

Also Trump.....

Was charged with Federal Housing Discrimination* (got caught)
Owned a casino fined for money laundering* (got caught)
Committed bank fraud* (will probably be charged)
Committed tax fraud* (will probably get off with a fine)

Paid AMI to kill negative true articles* (got caught)
Ran a fake charity in order to buy goods tax free and collect money illegally*(got caught)

"O.K., I don’t quite believe that. But going forward, it would be wise for all of his inveterate critics in the news media, including me, to treat it as our operating assumption. The alternative is to let him hand us our butts all over again, just as he did by winning the G.O.P. nomination and then the election, and then by presiding over years of robust economic growth. That should be the central lesson from the epic media fiasco of Russiagate."


…..Donald Trump has just won a major victory over his chosen political enemies, including this newspaper. Whether he’s achieved this through genius or luck, it would behoove us not to take him for a fool. This was the week to examine our own foolishness instead.

so many regularly claim the man is dumb, an idiot, etc. I think trump is very smart, maybe not a genius, but definitely smarter than he is given credit for in the press because he always beats them at their game.
Trump isn't a genius, but most members of the media are exceptionally dumb.

Genius? I don't know. Smart? Yes.
Aided by Russia? Yes.

And, it looks like he didn’t even know they were helping him.

That genius just asked the DOJ to cancel the ACA, I guess he just cant handle success.
the 1st winning was him winning primaries at 35-40% when the fake news MSM was saying that was the ceiling... then he won the White House when the fake news MSM was saying there was "No path to 270" ... you all never learn.
