Nixon, however, was very smart, and whatever you think of him (I despised him) he had a firm grasp of foreign policy based on years of effort. He was also a very hard worker. There is a story of him working as a partner in a New York law firm during the 1965 blackout. The other attorneys sat out in the halls and chatted. Nixon went back to his office and worked by flashlight.

Trump, other than his ability as a con man, is dumb as a post, and too lazy and arrogant to even try to learn anything.
