I think maybe he thinks he's so smart compared to everyone else that they just haven't been able to think of that yet? Like to me that's the only thing that could explain him thinking that. Or maybe senility.

People who don't know they're stupid often make simple logical connections and assume no one else has been able to do the same. Like a child when they realize that food turns to poop. Only in this case it was a single man turning an entire country into shit.

Trump was the Dunning-Kruger President (coined 4 years ago)

And he came up with "priming the pump" all by his stable genius self, too.

He's the poster child for the Dunning-Kruger effect.

Which is funny because people that are proven to be smart tend to think that everyone knows as much as they do in various surveys taken. https://youtu.be/pOLmD_WVY-E

It's off the charts delusional narcissism.

I know my caption was meant to sound funny but I believe it's actually true.
