Trump's twitts have zero intellectual value and can be described by a function (arrow) that executes one simple rule: tit for tat. That is, if someone says nice things about Trump, he twitts nice things about that person. If someone says bad things about Trump, he twitts bad things about that person. An AI implementation of Trump's twitter brain would require just one bit of memory.

In Category Theory terms, Trump is a bijection from {0,1} to itself, i.e. the identity function of the {0,1} object.

upd. That's exactly why "simple" people really like Trump: for a politician, he's really easy to understand and does exactly what "simple" people want to do themselves, but can't afford doing it.

Cohn showed Trump how to exploit power and instill fear through a simple formula: attack, counterattack and never apologize.

Trump said he goes on the offensive only to defend himself.

“I don’t feel I insult people. I don’t feel I insult people. I try and get to the facts and I don’t feel I insult people,” he said. “Now, if I’m insulted I will counterattack, or if something is unfair I will counterattack, but I don’t feel like I insult people. I don’t want to do that. But if I’m attacked, I will counterattack.”
