You are conflating intelligence with speaking style. I did not say he was the most intelligent person ever.
 
However! Your example just proved my point - Trump speaks using concrete details, examples, light metaphor, sound bite anecdotes - and all of it is concrete. Harris speaks in meaningless generalities.

Every time Trump speaks, he speaks rather concretely. He doesnâ(TM)t always get the facts perfect but the guy is a concrete thinker who got his start literally building buildings. His words reflect a desire to build a specific thing or do a specific thing.

  in contrast, Kamala Harris, always spoke in the most vague platitudes and generalities. Her words belied a desire to never commit herself to any position or concrete plan of action. Partially because she was a politician, and partially because she is an idiot.

Seriously, Kalshi has a history of this kind of deceptive practices. Not to mention they, like all betting markets, profit from addiction.

Some examples:

CFTC vs. Kalshi — Election Betting Dispute (2022–2025)

Massachusetts AG Lawsuit (September 2025)

New York Federal Class Action — Illegal Sports Betting (November 2025)

"Deceptive Gambling Platform" Class Action (January 2026)

Nevada Gaming Regulators vs. Kalshi (2025–ongoing)

There is also the question of rebalancing. When illegal immigrants are no longer in the labor market, wages rise, because supply has dropped. In addition, cost of living tends to go down because the demand for housing and other goods also drops. There is more to this equation than the propaganda about Americans, not wanting certain jobs.

We're about 15% of the way there. At least 20 million people are in our country illegally. At least 2.5m have left voluntarily.
