Trump brings greatest genius on the planet and his brilliant wife to White House, to help him run the country

President Donald Trump is known for his intuitive, even instinctual, grasp of complex problems and their solutions. While it took him months to select a secretary if state and to fill other key cabinet positions, he was led by blinding instinctual insight to choose two of his most important and intimate advisers.

While others might have taken months or even years to find the most brilliant man on the planet and his brilluant wife, Trump through his extraordinary power of intuition found the genius and his genius’ wife in almost no time at all.

the president shrugged his shoulders and observed, “Sometimes genius and brilliance surprise you, and turn out to be closer than you would ever think.”
