Why do we keep on underestimating Donald Trump?? Trump’s behaviour may suggest he is a fool, an idiot, or a moron but Jean-Claude Juncker, former president of the European Commission, claims that Trump is “very smart“ (HFD).

You probably know the expression "never change a winning team". Often, success feels like magic because we don't really know or understand its ingredients.
