Trump isn't stupid. He knows how to play his audience. In certain situations he talks with a very low IQ vocabulary but time to time he forgets to put on his act and starts talking in a very intellectual manner. The worst thing you can call him is a con-artist, but stupid? No, he does have a degree in economics which I consider STEM-like.

Because Trump was born rich and there's a large number Americans who are envious of the rich (especially old money) and practice heavy association fallacy. People who voted for Trump are associating the accomplishments of his father (the real entrepreneur in the family) with his own. So they think guy actually knows what he's talking about when in truth he's just been throwing money at others to do his work for him and riding on the brand name for years.
If it's any consolation China, Japan and South Korea rise to prominence has been mostly due to focusing on math and science.

Lol, you really still believe this to be true? How can you mot see him make the worst choices and moves over and over? A smart person, even when trying to act like an idiot, would have handled Porte Rico very diffrently for example.

poor faker did he deserve it?

People don't give a shit about scientists, that's why.

your mistake is thinking science and math are important to the majority of voting population.
it's not PC to say it but let's be honest, most people just don't spend enough time thinking to understand anything.
most peoples' politics are determined by fear and greed. there is no rational moral philosophy and no metacognition.
IQ is normally distributed, this means there are over 100 million whites with double digit IQ who are easily led by the nose to vote for whoever you tell them to. this number easily overwhelms all the left-voting shitskins put together. Trump united them by playing at their fears, easy game

You're working from teh assumption that he's trying to do a good job *as a president*. He's not. He doesn't give a rat's ass about the country. He's interested in himself. If you look at what he does wit that in mind, he's brilliant. He won the presidency. He's about as on top the narcissist's ladder as you can get.
