    No, he’s a malignant narcissist idiot savant self promoter.

    Having the combination of a constant need for self-promotion, no self-awareness and absolute shamelessness is ideal for a cult leader, but it doesn’t make him smart.

        No. There’s no “understanding” about it. It’s as instinctive as a fish swimming or a wasp (either kind) ruining someone’s day.
