Right now, the most self-consciously virtuous people have no problem calling e.g. Trump dumb or stupid.

But I can easily imagine our descendants 100 years from now wincing at our shocking unPCness in using such words.

Not to stand up for Trump too much, but dumb is obviously what he’s not. It’s easy to dismiss "horizontal" difference as "vertical" though.

Trump actively chooses to be dumb. That's the difference.

This is incorrect. No advanced Buddhist monk would do that. They would call him unwise, maybe reckless or misguided but likely not stupid.
