I cant believe the Left still thinks the billionaire celebrity President is a moron who has no plan and is just somehow bumbling through all this.
This always has been, and always will be, their greatest mistake
This is what they actually believe:
>Slipped on a banana peel >Become a multi billionaire
>Stumble and bumble your way through the primaries >Win the nomination of your pary
>Use a pogostick to land on every landmine possible in the final stretch >Win the Presidency
So its this insane paradoxical conundrum. They try convincing you he's a thin-skinned idiot with an iq of 40, who is literally incapable of reading english while at the same time trying to convince you he's hitler 2.0 and a master con-man who is dishonest and scamming the american people.
Curiously they flip between these narratives every couple days, i.e. When he does something popular he's a manipulative conman, and when he does something outrageous or outside the box then hes an idiot who's too dumb to breathe. It doesnt work though, because when I'm convinced hes an honest retard then I'm impressed when he does something good, (see his recent address to congress) and when I'm convinced he's a dishonest manipulator then when he does something outrageous or off-script (see his recent tweet-storm) then I can rest easy, and even laugh along with the tweets, thinking he has some devious master plan I dont know about.
This Dr Jekyl/Mr Hyde balance Trump's currently striking with off-script over the weekend, and then hyper-populist, on-script during the week is one of the greatest political tactics I've ever seen.
It totally neuters the enemy's attacks because they cant even properly categorize their own opponent.

They're trying to solve this by having Trump as the idiot and Bannon as Hitler 2.0

You think he won by being a mastermind? Oh boy you have a lot to learn bud.
It would've been no contest if Russia hadn't've hacked the DNC and released all their shit.

muh russia
fuck off schumer, go have a donut with putin
Luke Hughes
I dont know if you've noticed but both of those narratives have been BTFO this week.
The Bannon narrative got btfo with the rumor that him and Trump got in an argument and Trump gave him the cold shoulder and the Russia narrative has been successfully turned on its head thanks to Trump calling out Obama for wiretapping.
This has been an outrageously good week for Trump as far as ending negative narratives goes

How the fuck is it a paradox for a man to be a manipulative conman and also be extraordinarily ignorant and poorly equipped for the office he won with brash and baldfaced lies? The man has a high IQ, big balls, and he understands how television and media works, but he has a shit attention span, is easily provoked, and is not particularly knowledgeable about the world, especially in the realms of science, history, and international relations.
If you're struggling to understand how a man can have both significant strengths and weaknesses then I can understand how this might seem an "insane paradoxical conundrum" to a feeble-minded fuck like yourself.

Russia being Wikileaks source!?
Haha give me a break.
That entire story is apparently only based on: 1. Phony hacker Guccifer2.0's questionable claim to be WL source for DNC leaks (even though he later made statements suggesting he didn't know how to get leaked data from the non-existent-CF-hack published!) 2. Assange had a TV program on RT and there was a meeting between RT and Assange about renewing back in 2013. 3. In September, after the emails were leaked, Putin said the effort to pin blame on Russia was probably a distraction from the contents of the emails. ^ That's it. That's the basis for their assessment that it was the Russian state acting as a source for Wikileaks. They also assess (I think they keep mixing up the definitions of "assess" and "imagine"!) that Guccifer2.0 is likely a GRU operative... apparently they believe a GRU operative trying to conceal his "Russian" identity would use Yandex (free Russian email service) to communicate with the US mainstream press! It also looks like this report is an effort to try to make it appear as though the claims made in the middle of December (where it appears there was an effort to cause an Electoral College coup) are validated. - However, this report tries to re-frame the argument into one about Putin influencing the election through RT rather than Putin being "directly" implicated in the hacking operations and directing how hacked materials were to be used, as originally claimed.

Now they're jumping on Carson for something he said, they literally have nothing left at this point.

meme magic
Juan Watson
So basically anytime he does something you like its because he's a con-man and whenever he does something you dont like its because hes an idiot.
Makes sense.
Go back to neogaf
Daniel Reyes
Even the right thought he was a bumbling idiot they just knew that he appealed to way more retards and memesters than any of their shitty candidates.
Brandon Cook
No, are you fucking daft? That makes zero sense. Why would I think he's a conman for doing something I like? I think he's a fucking legend for pulling off his electoral victory and has earned his spot in the pantheon of history, but I also think it's a fucking shame that the man who's supposed to save the West is incorrigibly ignorant, childishly petty, patently narcissistic, and his mandate is predicated on a combination of going up against a supremely unlikable Clinton and a used car salesman style of political hucksterism.
I love the man because he provides endless entertainment but seriously, Sup Forums spends too much time congratulating itself and jerking off for having dismantled the laughable arguments made by imbeciles on the left and then somehow conflating such meager advantage with their own infallibility. Trump is a flawed man. You wanted a chaos candidate, and you got it.

He's a brilliant tactitian. Part of his strategy is getting people to think he's a complete moron. When their guard isn't up they walk into his trap.
>mispells words he wants to stick in your mind. Think "Croocked Hillary" "Croked Hillary" "Crookid Hillary". He mispelled it every time.
>Calls last-minute press conference for important announcement: entire press corps shows up. It's live on every major news network. He has 13 lieutenant generals come out to endorse him and sing him praises. This goes on for half an hour. Finally Trump gets up tothe podium and utters one sentence, says thank you and leaves.
>Says election is going to be rigged. Every shill comes out across the country to say how absurd that is; it's impossible. Then when he wins (and he knew he would despite millions of illegal votes for Hillary) they can't dare say it was rigged. Well eventually they did and hoped people would forget the headlines from 2 months ago.
I could go on and on. He wrote the new playbook for getting elected.
Juan Kelly
Even if you believe that
If the DNC wouldnt have been corrupt they couldnt have realesed anything. So, maybe, next time, dont be corrupt.
Oh wait, the DNC head who was resposible fore the corruption didnt get any punishment. I gues try again in a few decades then
