So I guess Trump being in the middle of the x-axis reflects the fact that he is simultaneously exceptionally evil and exceptionally stupid?

The creators of this graph were likely distracted by how evil he is and it is this that led to error.
It's as if we had to decide whether he was EITHER fat OR ugly... EITHER corrupt OR Selfish...
Putting Trump on the line essentially says everyone is being measured as more evil than Trump, or more stupid.
But the answer to your question is “yes”
He is evil, and getting ready to find out, big harsh.
Each axis is a continuum between opposites as with Bad Time --> Great Time. So Primarily Stupid is a patsy who gets tricked into doing evil while Primarily Evil does stupid, evil things for fun.
Trump is stupid but his primary motive is evil.
Just sayin.
It's like he's playing himself at stupid-evil tennis.
but could also reflect that trump's cognitive/epistemological failings are very real but (still, largely) downstream of his malicious and utter depravity
trump's lost more than one step tbh but I'm sticking w my heuristic
Trump’s playbook is to attack using primary symbolism of stain, defilement, and pollution
Opposition to Trump won’t succeed unless it stigmatises Trump just as “primarily”
He’s not just weird or not normal, he defiles and pollutes our country
Symbolism of Evil
