IMO he's not logically smart, but he IS cunning... normally I would put that under Wis but that didn't feel like a good fit so I fudged it a bit.

He's been coasting on his reputation as a brilliant businessman since the 80s. And only the sort of people who also think pro wrestling is real still believe he is.

There is something about Trump. I don't know what it is, I cannot explain it, but no one else can do what he has done. Any successor will not have the kind of penetration and ability to just do whatever the hug they want like Trump.
Again, I don't understand it, can't explain it, but he's like the idiot whisperer. The pied piper of methies and dumbfucks.
I know part of it. He is a filthy rich guy with no class or breeding. Every other filthy rich guy cannot make poor people feel like he is one of them because their manners and deportment set them apart even if they are kind. The poor people can tell they would think they were better than them. ButTrump is completely crass and tasteless, hardly touches the trappings of wealth in public. He really does act just like a blue collar guy, but a real blue collar guy is just some guy. This one is a billionaire and that is lightning in a bottle. If THIS guy is a billionaire, he knows how to make me one too.

. . . . . that's an excellent point. Thank you.

Yeah, he sucks as a businessman.. all he's good at is finding and exploiting opportunities for himself, which is why I separate smart from cunning, as that only requires the latter. It's that high natural charisma that somehow carries him through pulling off his schemes via other people failing against his bluff or persuasion checks.

if Donald was legitimately eligible for a third term he would absolutely win AGAIN because the Democrats still can't find a way to pull their heads out of their asses.

It hasn't been that long since the Democrats beat him. They had an unusually difficult situation last year and still made a strong showing.

I voted for her and hoped she would win and expected her to win until a week or so before the election. But she was the candidate because she had to be. If they had been able to have a primary, they probably wouldn't have run her and they probably won't run her next time.

I'd be surprised if Obama ran again. I don't have any sources to cite on that, I just can't see it at the moment.
Honestly, the only reason I'd think he *would* run would be if Trump was the other nominee, and it seemed that only Obama could stop him. (And, yeah, I'm aware that the intention, that only a president with two non-consecutive terms would be allowed to run for a third, would specifically preclude even that)

But in that scenario? Yeah, I'd buy it.

Yeah but the government already started pretending COVID was over years ago. The CDC has probably been focusing on ways to mitigate whatever unknown thing is coming next, and now we're going to be the only country on earth that's completely unprepared for it.
