You think everyone is stupid but you or something?
If people still support Trump, then yes they're stupid.
Yea but you were just guessing and they knew that.
To a certain degree, I suppose. Reality doesn't come to us in notarized government documents with 10,000 authorities in lab coats testifying to it. We have to figure it out on our own, so there will always be some level of "guessing", because we can't be 100% sure on things outside of fundamental truths (like math and logic).
When things don't make sense, we have to theorize different possibilities, and judge the merits of those possibilities based on future events, which will prove or disprove the theories, if those theories predicted those future events. When people's words don't match their actions, when a politician's actions in office don't match their campaign promises, you have to pay attention to what they do, not what they say, to determine who they really are. If a pattern repeats continually, that's a really good indicator for truth, even if someone is lying to you about it, claiming it isn't true (like crime statistics and racial disparities).
So, yes, I was "guessing", but it was a really well informed guess that keeps being proven right, matches Trump's behaviors perfectly, matches his cabinet picks perfectly, and matches the repeated pattern of behavior and results.
