I don't know if Donald Trump is smarter than 99% of the population, but he sure damn is very intelligent. Have you seen how quick he is in responding to people? His craftiness? His wits? That all requires at least above average intelligence. And keep in mind, he's doing politics, so of course he's going to say shit he himself doesn't really believe in. But even if he has poor critical thinking skills, that would just be one facet he sucks at.
That really depends on how one is defining stupidity. It's more like bullshitting is not a handicap in politics. But you still have to be smart enough to bullshit so effectively.
