I mean, some unironically do refer to him as a 4D chess player. Which I take as MAGAtard equivalent to "god works in mysterious ways". That is to say... it's a statement that's essentially an open admission that not even his most dedicated worshipers sometimes know wtf he's doing. They just have faith that whenever Trump does something so absolutely stupid that they don't know how to explain it, that it's just a sign of him possessing genius way beyond our time. He's Copernicus explaining to naive and stupid masses that the Earth is rotating around the Sun and branded a heretic. He's the turtle outrunning the mischievous hare.But you see he's trolling! He doesn't mean to do [OBJECTIVELY STUPID THING], it just trolling! A negotiation tactic because Trump is more sophisticated than you libtards give him credit for. I'll laugh hard at you cause he is trolling you so bad, I can't stop getting tired of winning!
But in reality, it's just "Emperor's new clothes" happening in real time. Everybody can see that the emperor is naked, but since the emperor is wearing fabric that's supposedly only invincible to the stupid and inept, nobody wants to come across as the stupid one by questioning it... what if they're the only ones that can't see? It's safer to pretend that they are wearing luxurious clothes.
