A moron, unfortunately, supposed fanatically by 1/3 of the population who don't care that he has no plan for anything, except to claim he has the best plan for everything. A moron who claims to know more about 5G networking, the military, economics and every other subject despite proving repeatedly he's completely oblivious.

Trump's strength isn't his intellectual capacity or analytical skill. It's his appeal to the basest instincts and lower common denominator. His ability to demonize and ridicule and bully.
