This is obviously true -- I'm a successful computer programmer, and I've been successful at managing my personal finances, but I don't think I would make a good businessman.

But I wasn't really talking about domain-specific knowledge. Trump seems to be extremely idiotic in general areas -- history, interpersonal conduct, politics(!).

Thus you will be familiar with the "I'm the boss!" idiom that Trump so ably reps. Top of the head outbursts. Irrational justifications. Self-aggrandized posturing. etc. etc Since they are in the lead, they must be right and are therefore justified in any and every action and situation. POTUS has just brought his persona to the international stage. Most Americans (I would expect) knew what he was on about but lethargy and indifference led to the current situation.

Trumps views really do represent his era.

Archie would be in his mid-90's now, Trump was in his 20's during the late 60's, so he's closer to Mike Stivik's generation. And he's also not working class, he has little reason to resent blacks and immigrants who might be encroaching on his livelihood (although upper-class people didn't like gentrification).

But none of this really addresses my point. Trump has an Ivy League education. Can he really be as ignorant as he seems about world affairs, or is he in reality incredibly crafty, putting on this facade of stupidity?
