It has been posted before that Donald's supporters epitomize the D-K effect but it just as aptly describes the candidate himself.
The D-K effect essentially states, what Darwin had previously noted, that: "Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does

I think you're right. Trump clearly epitomizes the D-K effect. The less he knows, the more confident and arrogant he is.
