A bombshell filing out of Donald Trump’s election subversion case was unsealed Wednesday, revealing a trove of damning allegations about how the former president acted on and around Jan. 6, 2021.

Among the nastiest accusations in the 165-page document was how Trump allegedly reacted to learning from an aide that his vice president, Mike Pence, had been taken to a secure location in the U.S. Capitol for his safety.

Trump’s alleged response to that news: “So what?”

    This is why is so dangerous calling him dumb. It brings that benefit of the doubt, that “he didn’t know that this is not allowed”, that “he is just dumb and did not know better”, “he can’t control himself” etc etc.

    He then exploits every single opportunity given and avoids any punishment (he still did not get any!)

      He is dumb. The problem is smart conmen and fascists want to fleece his flock, and the easiest way to access his sheep is to cut the shepherd in on the profit.

      Nowhere in the rules does it say dogs can’t play basketball the president can’t talk their cult into marching onto the capitol with the intention of hanging their own VP.

      He is dumb. Hitler was an idiot, too.

      Being a moron makes autocrats more dangerous, not less, because they’re more easily swayed by evil opportunists, and are more likely to make deadly, impulsive decisions without thinking them through.
