it's whatever, everyone knows he's a dumbass. but it's pathetic how trump doesn't even realize that his trade negotiator is basically saying "i have to do what the dumb man says, please ignore him" - he doesn't even notice

I was thinking about this after I watched it, that dunking on Trump for this particular flavor of idiocy is probably suboptimal because how many Americans know what an MOU is? Ideally, we would have a president who is smarter than the average bear, but I feel like a lot of the time when Trump's idiocy gets "exposed" it more just shows he's roughly as aware of the world around him as most of the people he represents, which again is hardly ideal, but I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people see him get owned for not knowing bureaucratic mechanisms or the history of various foreign actors and feel attacked by proxy because they don't know either.
This is a long way of saying that I think people, and particularly people who are running against him, should focus on mocking Trump for dumb shit he says that proves he's a rich, out-of-touch weirdo rather than a garden variety moron. Like that whole thing where he thought you needed to show ID to buy a loaf of bread, now that was the good stuff.

I do tend to agree with the strategy you are proposing here though
