It is rather embarrassing to see how the most gullible are so easily fooled by a dishonest, immoral and lying conartist like Donald Trump, – not realizing how they are being taken for a ride. How naïve can you be? Among my vast circle of fiends in several countries, I actually have several Republican friends, none of which would even dream about voting for someone as incompetent and unfit for the most important office in the world as Donald Trump. Their hangup is that they are too intelligent, too educated and too informed to be fooled by someone as shallow as him. Then again, it was only through the Electoral College that Trump even made it, albeit barely. He lost the popular vote by several millions against someone far more qualified. And we still don’t know the impact of foreign adversaries messing with our election system, – adversaries clearly favoring someone as easy to fool and manipulate as Donald Trump. Let’s learn from this scandal, – before it is too late!

Jorg,
It is disturbing to see you continuing to bash your head against your wall of disdain for President Trump and the Electoral System.
The Electoral System did its job of protecting the nation from the tyranny of the majority, as it was designed to do.
The people who elected Trump did so because they weighed the choice and voted to direct the nation away from encroaching Progressivism (and the Clinton kleptocracy…as described by Orwell’s Animal Farm).
Your assertion that the Trump voters are less intelligent is an illustration of the moral superiority that repels them.
Those less educated voters are people who were not contaminated by the progressive poppycock that has metastasized from the university elites into the better educated cohorts of the population.
Regarding the assertion that Trump himself is stupid; what some see as stupidity may in fact be nothing more than lack of education and clumsiness.
A man who demonstrated an ability to prosper in the dog-eat-dog Manhattan real estate/construction industry which is regulated by the corrupt NYC Democrat political bureaucracy and manipulated by unions controlled by the Mafia is not a man who doesn’t know his way around the block.
On international matters, his way of doing business does not translate well into the niceties and slippery deviousness of diplomacy.
That upsets a lot of people (including me).
On domestic matters he has discovered that the political machinery of the Washington swamp is even more complex and devious than the NYC real estate world.
In both areas, his lack of ability to articulate the soothing rhetoric of a polished politician is a handicap and a reflection of his abrasive, impulsive personality.
He often appears to be in over his head…but the end results are yet to be seen.
He is something never before seen on the nation’s or the world’s stage.
The people elected Trump knowing that he is a narcissistic egomaniac with a history of philandering and questionable business practices.
Before he was elected he clearly demonstrated that he is a crude, loudmouth BullShi**er.
Out of desperation, a less educated but equally intelligent voter cohort chose him over Hillary.
They were not fooled.
It is unlikely but possible that interference by foreign adversaries tilted the election and that otherwise Hillary might have won.
That however, is a different matter having to do with communication, social media, etc..
