He does think before he speaks. He's using every talking point from right winger 1.01 Don't underestimate him. He's certainly not the sharpest tool in the shed, but he's well aware of how to sell hatred and resentment. That always worked in times of crisis. I'm certainly not comparing him to Hitler, even more so since Hitler only used what was already established, but people don't ask the intellectual questions. If someone presents the easy solutions, they don't scratch the surface. They kind of hope for a Messiah taking care of their problems.
Trump, on a global basis, is only one of many using the same tactics. They all got no plans beside inciting resentments, but they all aren't asked for their plans either. Don't forget what happened in Hungary, Poland, and quite recently on the Philippines. Underestimating Trump may be the worst mistake of all.
