Is Donald Trump a secret Democratic agent or is he genuinely stupid/clueless?

[Human]

Donald Trump is running the worst campaign in history. He's done so many stupid things like praise Saddam Hussein, etc. It's like he's trying to lose. He's going to campaign in ing Mississippi. This is unbelievable.

Is Donald Trump really that stupid/clueless, or is he a secret Democratic agent?

[Pyro]

He's spouting pseudo-populist, loony things that tap into paranoia and fear.
It was big in the 1920s and 30s and it seems to be working for him today.

[Lief 🗽]

He's just not a very intelligent person.

Rest assured, if it's about Trump, it's about money.

Did Bill Clinton goad him into running? Maybe, but there's no motivation in that for Trump. Expect scandals about expenditures benefitting Trump. Expect a book and TV after his loss. He's pushing his brand, that is his motivation.

He's a great marketer and a skilled provocateur.

This, 100%.  Donald Trump has never done anything that he didn't think would improve his bottom line.  It's all about the personal financial gain with him.  He couldn't care less about the country, or its well-being.  He saw an opportunity to increase his exposure and he took it.

Don't forget, folks, his original big foray into politics was fanning the flames of resentment by saying that our President was born in Kenya.  He's a racist attention whoring liar, and he always has been.

In other words, as the thread question puts it .... he is "genuinely stupid."

Last year, I thought Trump might be a Democratic plant and/or just doing this to troll everyone, but now, it looks like he's actually delusional, and wants to win.

[OwlRhetoric]

A secret Russian agent, a secret Democrat plant and a shapeshifting alien skunk. Their holographic  emulators still have issues emulating human hair.

[evergreenarbor]

Trump actually is that stupid.

[Lexii, harbinger of chaos and sexual anarchy]

neither

[Trapsy]

I don't think so. Donald Trump is literally this stupid. The seeds of his presidential run started back in 2012, I remember seeing polls having him in the lead. Also the war he waged against President Obama's citizenship fueled the base of the republican party.

If he was so stupid, how does he have a 30% chance of becoming the next president? Maybe he isn't so stupid after all. have you thought about that?

[Hermit For Peace]

I don't think Trump is stupid by any means. He's very smart when he's in his element. Unfortunately (for him) politics is not his element. So he comes across as pretty ignorant in word and deed.

But he's a marketing genius, although in a very negative way, in my view, and he should stay in that arena. It's only his big ego that thinks he can be President.

He's the presidential candidate America deserves.

He started out as a Democratic agent started by Bill Clinton, then he pledged loyalty to Putin and his money, but then Trump thought he could break away by being his own strong man type figure. Here's the twist: Putin reeled him back in by saying he'd give him DNC emails and plans in exchange to install Paul Manafort into his campaign. Manafort has been making him more pro-Kremlin by the day.

He's mainly just an easily manipulated and greedy narcissist who's blinded by his own ego.
