sometimes you gotta toss aside the gifted kid mindset of “I’m sure there is a reason this guy moved his chess piece into the stupidest position possible” and embrace the obvious answer that the guy is a senile racist doing senile racist shit a bunch of weirdos are pretending is something else

we're talking about a person who refused to play chess because he didn't like the idea of the black and white pieces moving toward each other.

This guy has been out there hanging rooks for 10 years, and his opponents are afraid to take them because they always think it’s some sort of brilliant trap.

this guy has lost every election in which his opponent wasn't the most reviled politician of her generation, why do we keep dismissing "he's bad at this" as an explanation

Occam's Razor isn't a barbershop.

for his entire life, he has had an army of sycophants, grifters, and hangers-on cleaning up after him. he never has to worry shitting himself because there is always someone there with a garbage bag and clean pair of undies.

I think insofar as there’s logic in what Trump’s doing, it’s “I heard Harris lied and pretended not to be black and I will tell that to black people and they will hate Harris now”. It is stupid logic but you have to bear in mind that he is a very stupid man. 🤔

Thank you! I've been saying this for 10 years

lots of takes about some deep strategy when you can just say he's a racist dumbass

Gifted kid mindset? Is compulsive benefit of the doubt something all the other failed gifted kids do too?
