Donald Trump didn't win the Presidency by reading textbooks.

a screenshot from the Simpsons movie of the president saying he was elected to lead not to read

How do you get by in life without reading? I mean, don’t you have to know what the symbols on clocks mean to tell time?

And you don't need a textbook to understand how the very basics of business work. You know, the thing people seem convinced he understands? A fucking toddler has more knowledge than Trump. The United States of America doesn't have two brain cells to rub together

They heard lower taxes, and simply misunderstood that tariffs are another form of taxation.

They heard whatever they wanted to hear, because that rambling shitgibbon said everything to everybody.

They heard that from a proud liar. It's not a secret he lies constantly

He won it by taking bribes from billionaires, like a true politician

He won it because Biden sabotaged the democratic electoral base for four years.

Trump lost 1m vote 2020-2024, dems lost 12-10m.

Thats what happens when you undercut your own base and key demographic allies.
