Trump isn't even a dumb person's idea of a smart person.

Judging by by the proclamations of the maga crowd, he is precisely a dumb person's idea of a smart person.
Magats don't want a smart person. They want someone just as dumb or even dumber than they are.
The same goes for his felonies, his child rapes, his failed businesses, and his astounding corruption. They love him because of these things, not despite them. He's is the perfect representative the magat class.
This makes sense. The president is supposed to be held to a higher standard, on a level of Overton Window reasoning, which is what this demographic mostly operates on, this means that the president is viewed to be objectively at that level by default, regardless of who they are and what they do, the position/system wouldn’t allow otherwise, this allows subjective justification of anything above that line as not only acceptable but superior morality. “If the president can rape kids then I can use the n-word!” Levels of thinking. Him setting the bar at the floor allows some people to think that their bar is really high. Him being the president, with no other factors involved, enables a false sense of morality in a certain demographic of people. He validates them as honorable, and they take that personally.

Rogan is a dumb man's smart man.
This orange turd's a weak man's strongman
God damn it. I was hoping this would have been an actual poll with proper data on who they polled and shit but it was just a fuckass Shitter poll.
If you thought for a second that ~85% of Trump’s MAGA cult would tell a pollster that Trump is the dumbest president ever, you… thought wrong.
Same here.
Every poll depends a lot on the phrasing of the question. The question:
As far as journalistic integrity goes, the title should've been "...people agree he is the dumbest..." and not believe.
OTOH, glad to see there's still some normal human beings on Xhitter.
Also, what a horrible outlet.

4% hit the wrong button on accident
4% grew up under power lines and did a lot of whipits in grade school
Future presidents
Lizardman constant
Hm. I‘m curious who was polled. I‘m surprised there isn‘t the usual ~30% boot licking fascist bracket.
Yeah it can't be a decent population spread. Republicans that have fallen from MAGA would still point fingers at another president they didn't like before saying a Republican was the dumbest.
I wish this was the result of a random sampling of your population, but it's not. It's meaningless.
Lincoln and JFK were smarter presidents even post-gunshot. Trump out-dumbs half a plate of cold scrambled eggs.

The other 4% are literally the dumbest people ever.
George W Bush is ecstatic right now.
He'll still get 30% ready to vote for him again
They'll write him in.
And some only know how to spell his name because the have so many flags shirts and decals
I think the apt answer is: "is he making decisions that actually make the US better?" He has made billions. He has hugely benefited his personal allies, allies that are not your allies. He did every shady thing he could do right in front of the entire population and still nothing has been done to really stop him. He gave a friend of his millions to clean a pool and they clearly were just stealing mob style and that was what we saw in plain view.

Ok? So what? American liberals need to stop obsessing about the specific deficiencies of the individual of Donald Trump and actually care about terrible policy regardless of the character of the person espousing it.

I want to talk about polls I think this is partially how they are rigging elections...
I got a texas based like survey and I was just, why not..
Literally when I would say i would support the other candidate other than the republican it would go into crazy talking points about Trans rights and stuff and give me an option to change my vote.
How is this not illegal?
I really enjoy those surveys because there's usually a fill in part at some point and I use then to express the most blasphemous opinions possible. When one survey was trying to gauge at what point abortion should be legal, I wrote in that if it's still attached to me by umbilical cord I get to crush its skull between my thighs as a conservative limit.
Ewwww, and lol.

The anti-intellectualism crowd thinks that it doesn’t take intelligence to run a country
How is it only 96%?
Not defending the moron, but where and who you ask make a difference. I still see a lot of moron followers in my area.
Did they think this before or after they voted for him a THIRD time? Jesus Fucking Christ, and I would like to see that...
And the other 4% were the rare few dumber than him
