He wanted to be a "day-one dictator." I think you may be a bit too charitable here.

Maybe. He is not a smart man.

I think this is dangerous. He may not be articulate, he may not be good at math, but the man is smart when it comes to working a crowd. He has done enough to become president once and I don't think a stupid man would fumble his way there.

He's smart, even if I hate to admit it. To pretend he isn't means we aren't taking him as seriously as we should.

Being shrewd and charismatic (to some people....YUCK) doesn't mean he's smart. He gets his orders from someone higher up who IS smart and knows how to stroke his ego to get him to act.

It's not dangerous to think or say that because the hidden threat is significantly greater and I'm pointing that over the fumbling idiot. He's the tip of the spear.
