The answer to the question is "No."
The man is abundantly and cravenly ignorant, in addition to his serial performance as a Liar.
For instance, he says that his administration has "turned the economy around", despite the fact that it was an economy with trends beginning with Obama's early actions after the recession. And -- no -- presidents and neither Obama nor Trump "create jobs". The economy follows a well-proven and documented cycle known as the "business cycle", and presidents can do some things that may make the upswings more pronounced and the downturns more shallow. But presidents and their followers have traditionally tried to own credit for a healthy economy and distance themselves from the causes of an economy in suffering. Sometimes, presidents can enhance the economy through prudent management of government spending, sometimes tax policy and monetary policy in conjunction with the Federal Reserve. Trump's tax policy has done nothing but for a few 2-percenter chuckleheads at the top of the socio-economic ladder. The delusional base says to the contrary that he as done "Gurr-eat Thingks", but nobody with any sense thinks that their nickel-and-dime tax cuts made any difference to their lives; there hasn't been any extraordinary growth in manufacturing or anything else.
If I'm not mistaken, Trump took Economics as an undergrad. But he's no economist. Trump, for instance, would be at a loss to explain something like "the Kinked Oligopoly Demand Curve". I can. I know more than Trump.
Trump went to grad school at Wharton, likely because his father bought his ticket there. If he graduated at all, indications are that he scored in the lower half of his class. Given his behavior in the game of golf, he probably cheated in college every chance he could. He didn't learn anything much. His father likely told him he'd inherit the family business if he finished at Wharton. But he has absolutely no understanding of how to run a corporation. He runs a family business, which, in turn, carrying on the criminal practices of his father the tax fraud, housing discriminator and shyster, is a criminal enterprise. He has no understanding of delegation. He takes no advice. He discourages and eliminates independent and creative thinking by squelching dissent in a quest to obtain perfect personal loyalty from those around him. He has no idea of human relations as might be explained in the Harvard anthology book on human relations. His personality disorder would disqualify him for management positions in a major corporation, and it would disqualify him for even minor assignment as a CIA employee.
He has the reading skills of a 10th or 11th grade high-school student, and the writing skills in the same category. This is not only evident from his need to hire two other people to ghost-write his books, but from his presentations behind the podium in public. He can only speak impromptu, without preparation, with language primarily acceptable to those who are similar in being intellectually challenged -- it's all stream of consciousness and stream of thoughtlessness. When he prepares a speech at all, he uses a teleprompter, and his breathing, sneering and snorting between sentences. This shows him laboring to read the teleprompter to vocalize what he sees.
Trump's GOP has no professional economists, and they particularly have no Nobel Laureate economists serving them -- when they could if they wanted. They've got Larry Kudlow, a media hack. They have Stephen Moore, equally bereft of economic achievement or serious understanding. They have their Base.
Trump reflects his Base. He is the most disgusting piece of filth every to appear on TV since the first TV live broadcast of the 1936 Berlin Games.
The owner of my car-repair shop is a better business-man than Trump. He's not wealthy. He makes a living. He only has a junior-college degree, but I've seen him work. If he only makes a living, it is because he chose a feasible business on the chess-board of life that has limited potential for wealth generation. The idea that a person's bank balance is an indicator of their smarts or their business acumen is a totally misleading myth, based on the assumption that people only have a goal in life of becoming fabulously wealthy, or that choosing a less lucrative field in which to make a living is somehow a "bad decision". Trump is a multi-millionaire only because his father was a billionaire, and he either lost more money over a ten-year stretch than any single person in the US of A, or he was a monstrous criminal tax fraud for under-reporting his income zillions of degrees beyond the threshold that gives IRS the option of charging the taxpayer with felony fraud.
So -- 99 years in the electric chair, and -- no -- genius at anything he is not. I know all sorts of people of humble and limited means whose brains function at levels way above the Con-Man-in-Chief.
Is this "political"? Do I hate Trump? Am I a "hater"? With some other MBAs I know, concluding that he was a fraud after watching "Apprentice" is not political. Determining that he was a rabid, hypocritical racist after he spun the Birther Frenzy is not political. Looking at the evidence and what he has said in news interviews, concluding that he's a tax fraud and criminal is not political. Suspecting that he sold out his country to Russian oligarchs -- based on the indications so far -- is not political.
Do I hate him? Certainly, I despise him. Am I jealous? How could I be jealous of a silver-spoon baby who has violated just about every norm of decent conduct imaginable? And when I was confirmed at 9 years old -- the Catholic Sacrament of Confirmation -- I was asked "Do you reject Satan?" Certainly, I said that I did. And now -- I see that I do.
Not "political" -- this is just common sense, and objective moral judgment.
99 years in the electric chair! Next case!
