Is he really that stupid?

I believe Donald Trump may be a shrewder politician than he appears.  He continually deflects attention away from his serious actions like Gag orders on Federal Agencies or re-instituting the Mexico City Policy in foreign aid, by tweeting very stupid shit about voter fraud, inauguration attendance, or flag burners.  Over and over, his tweets consume the news cycles and social media taking time away from the “real” news. It also allows congressional leaders to spend the news cycles expressing their outrage or confusion about “X” tweet, instead of explaining their actions. 

So from now on, whenever I hear that he said or repeated something stupid, I’m going to look at what’s really happening.
