So many villains in fiction are depicted as intelligent, phew, did we ever get that one wrong

Dr Evil is pretty dumb, he only surrounded himself with intelligent people. Still not an equivalent since DT is hiring idiots.

Fun fact: DT can mean alcohol withdrawal and the symptoms resemble Trump. "Severe alcohol withdrawal symptoms such as shaking, confusion, and hallucinations."

Dr. Evil is a parody of a mastermind Bond villain, which is why he was dumb as a subversion of the trope.

But you also could say Bond villains were also dumb. They always seemed to make stupid mistakes and allow James to foil them, long monologues that gave him a chance to think.
