At least he acknowledges that he's a comedian.  Most political leaders don't seem to realise it.

    The trouble is, their jokes aren't funny.
    That being said, career politicians don't do any better.

    Politics and politicians have been found out, now the voter realises it doesn't really matter who they vote for nothing changes.

    If people hadn't voted for Cameron (remember him?) , we wouldn't be in this mess.

    But what a clever clown, more money than most of us could imagine, nothing stupid about him.

    Not that clever really ... he inherited vast wealth and valuable connections and his father’s creditworthiness . Since then several of his business have gone bankrupt taking with them lots of little folk - small investors - vis the way things had been set up it was them that lost their money, not Trump. 
    Apparently if he’d invested his inheritance in an index-linked investment fund he’d be richer now than he actually is ... so many of his businesses have lost money. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2016/02/29/the-myth-and-the-reality-of-donald-trumps-business-empire/?utm_term=.de9f29806dde

    I think the monster raving loony party will do well at the next election. Everyone is fed up of the usual lot.

    Being rich and being stupid aren't mutually exclusive.  Just look at many of the hereditary lords.  The Trumpster also tweeted today that the attacks in Sri Lanka had killed 136 million people.  If that ain't stoopid, what is?
