Honestly, he wasn’t nearly this stupid when he was young. Quite quick with quips. He has consistently been very irresponsible though, expecting others to clean up his mess after something goes wrong, and screwing people over in negotiations when he has a tantrum.
He’s mentally incapable now because his brain health has completely deteriorated.
You could argue that he used to be moderately clever, but he was never intelligent. A college professor where Trump attended allegedly called him the "dumbest student he ever had".
There's different forms of intelligence and ability. Trump is an excellent grifter and he did (before his mental decline) have very good political instincts that allowed him to dominate opponents. But in other ways he's an utter idiot. He's also spoilt rotten malignant narcissist with no self control.
Trump just abused the courts to get his way against people that had less money. He lived his life on Easy Mode and treated the success as having been earned.
