Donald Trump is an ignoramus. That’s the bottom line. He doesn’t play 68-dimensional chess. He’s not clever, and he’s not a brilliant “rope-a-dope” strategist. He’s just a dope. Period.
In the most recent example of his foolhardiness, Trump talked about his (and Steve Bannon’s) favorite President, Andrew Jackson.
In an interview with Salena Zito, he said the following:

Of course, Andrew Jackson died in 1845. The Civil War did not start until 1861.
Sure enough, the excuses for Trump started flying:

Come on. Does anybody think Trump knew anything about Jackson’s proclamation against nullification? Even if Steve Bannon gave Trump a flashcard lesson on it days ago, he’d have screwed it up.
