Because inside that head, that’s what he actually is…
Ooh look. A shiny toy. I want my ketchup. Tweet tweet tweet. Etc….
I remember much the same attacks on Bush Jr.
We pretty much constantly heard how stupid and arrogant he was
However, over the years since, all the interviews with people like the former deputy director of the CIA who worked with him day in, day out says he was massively astute, analytical and calm under pressure
another example here:
George W. Bush is smarter than you
Highly pertinent question at the end:
if you base your view of President Bush’s intellect on a public image and caricature shaped by late night comedians, op-ed writers, TV pundits, and Twitter, is that a smart thing for you to do?
Go figure…
