It's wild that people think this man is smart given the evidence we now have to the contrary.

At this point it's difficult to believe that he is of average intelligence.

I suspect his critical thinking ability has been warped by the extreme insulation from consequences that comes from being the richest person on the planet.

If he had to actually seriously consider consequences he might surprise us by showing average or better mental acuity.  But he’s reached a level of “success” that distorts his perceptions and allows him to make terrible decisions while still feeling like he is coming out ahead.
