Trump has no credibility and White House staff all say 'he is like a child'

No kidding. Tell us something we didn’t already know. Only Trumpies are in denial about the obvious.

“As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”

― H.L. Mencken, On Politics: A Carnival of Buncombe

Trump thinks reality is a thing he creates. 'Stable genius' isn't event a 10th of his greatness, according to him. 'God who walks' is more where he's at.

When the history is written many years from now by Alien Anthropologist Explorers. Long after the human race is gone. This time period will be shown to exemplify the very reason we became extinct.
How we could not grow beyond simple tribal instincts for a common good. Making short sighted feel good choices over the hard tough ones. Taking a short sighted view not the long one.
Trump is just the result of the a society based on doing it easy and fast, leaving the next one worry. I've got mine silly for you if you don't.

Before the ascendency of Trump, in 2010, Chris Hedges (a prophet if we've ever produced one,) predicted him, first saying why:

Quote:
“The cult of self dominates our cultural landscape. This cult has within it the classic traits of psychopaths: superficial charm, grandiosity, and self-importance; a need for constant stimulation, a penchant for lying, deception, and manipulation, and the inability to feel remorse or guilt. This is, of course, the ethic promoted by corporations. It is the ethic of unfettered capitalism. It is the misguided belief that personal style and personal advancement, mistaken for individualism, are the same as democratic equality. In fact, personal style, defined by the commodities we buy or consume, has become a compensation for our loss of democratic equality. We have a right, in the cult of the self, to get whatever we desire. We can do anything, even belittle and destroy those around us, including our friends, to make money, to be happy, and to become famous. Once fame and wealth are achieved, they become their own justification, their own morality. How one gets there is irrelevant. Once you get there, those questions are no longer asked.”
Quote:
A furious and sustained backlash by a betrayed and angry populace, one unprepared intellectually and psychologically for collapse, will sweep aside the Democrats and most of the Republicans. A cabal of proto-fascist misfits, from Christian demagogues to simpletons like Sarah Palin to loudmouth talk-show hosts, whom we naïvely dismiss as buffoons, will find a following with promises of revenge and moral renewal.
--Chrias Hedges, Empire of Illusion: The End of Literacy and the Triumph of Spectacle

Seriously, How Dumb is Trump?

http://robertreich.org/post/169394006010

Even if Trump doesn’t read, can’t follow a logical argument, and has the attention span of a fruit fly, it still doesn’t follow that he’s stupid.

There’s another form of intelligence, called “emotional intelligence.”
...

He knows how to manipulate people. He has an uncanny ability to discover their emotional vulnerabilities – their fears, anxieties, prejudices, and darkest desires – and use them for his own purposes.

To put it another way, Trump is an extraordinarily talented conman.
