This guy projects like an IMAX. I have never seen that be so glaringly obvious and consistent before. We are learning things here.

Who sees the Dunning-Kruger effect being made clear now? We have a poster boy for it in office; an arrogant imbecile who's merely used manipulation techniques he memorized over the years pretending to know it all.

I also have to wonder just how hypnotized the zombies who adore him and can overlook all of that are. Oh, sure, they made an investment in him and don't want to be proven wrong and are more base din biased beliefs, but still, you have to be in a bleary fugue to not see the naked emperor. They are dreaming him, not seeing him and he is giving auto-suggestions to reinforce it.

We should be thankful that they are a minority. No matter how much noise they make in their hypnogogic reveries, or how much airplay they may get, they are not the majority. When I remember that, I realize that this is very important. They want to influence and take things over and have it their way and much of the impetus is in that and, as the majority, we cannot allow that.

REMEMBER: They are in a delusional dream. We may have dreams, but we are vigilant and awake, no matter how unsettling that may be at times. We can act from reason, not just emotion and fancy. That means, we can respond from a clear, logical position. That's powerful if it is used correctly. Don't be moved by a minority, respond with authority.

Only his equally-stupid cult followers believe that. He's not a genius in any way, shape, or form.

Look who's the only person at the table without any notes in front of him. (SPOILER ALERT: it's the guy who doesn't read).
