For someone who in a post or two earlier complained about someone making assumptions about what a person might do you sure seem to have no problem doing exactly that. So is it just you who can make assumptions or is there a list of people who are allowed.
Is Trump stupid? Yes, bigly.
Is Putin stupid? No. He might be an evil SOB, but he is - to Russia - a patriot and is anything but stupid. He's highly intelligent.
These are not assumptions. When someone is highly intelligent, then you can make certain inferences about what that particular person will or will not do. But when someone is not so intelligent (and/or has serious mental issues such as malignant narcissism), making inferences about what that person will or won't do becomes much more difficult.
