Trump has claimed to be a genius. He has succeeded in changing the way half the people in the US think and what they choose to believe.

I'm going with the likes of Aristotle, Descartes, Newton, Schubert in his own way, and a lot more of them to whom we could accord genius level, or at the very least, extraordinary mental capacity...... Ghenghis Kahn was a sort of genius in his own time.  He is said to have invented the platoon system that we still use to this day.

Carry on..............
