I put this here so as not to hijack the P&E thread that it came from.
AFAICT, the Orange Imbecile is good at one thing, and one thing only. His pathological narcissism combined with his almost unfathomable stupidity gives him tremendous bravado – an unshakable self-confidence fueled by his complete inability to recognize how stupid he is and how pathetic he sounds to anyone with more than even half a brain. His pronouncements, if uttered by any normal person due to drugs or intoxication, would be so deeply embarrassing that they’d likely never show their face in public again; to the Orange Imbecile, it’s all just proof of his genius.
Unfortunately, that one attribute is enough to attract a cult following of bigoted dimwits of similarly deficient intellectual prowess.
