After careful consideration, I've come to the following conclusion: Doug cannot be as stupid as he presents. I find it simply impossible that a man of his age and experience, who is a director of a multi-million dollar company believes, for example, that racism applies to a person's fruit preference. He must have had this carefully explained to him by now by somebody. Surely, this must be some kind of lame homage to an Andy Kaufman bit. It's a huge troll job, because not many people are genuinely that stupid.
In a few weeks we'll have confirmation that this is true and FN is but a small blip of mighty morons, the polls have all been punked, Doug pulls in with 6%, Andray Domise wins easily and the nightmare is finally over right?
Right?
I think it's a combination of cunning and stupid. He believes what he wants to believe, and he thinks he can trick people into believing it too. Some of them are stupid enough to fall for it. He doesn't actually care whether what he says is inherently true, just about whether he can make it sound true at the time he says it. After all, it's not about the truth.
