Speaking more seriously, I think goofiness or acting like a "boob" when "uncalled for" is a side effect of brilliant and extremely intensely operating minds.
It's not that these people are incapable of not acting boobishly in those moments, or that they have bad judgment regarding social norms--They actually have excellent judgement, but in those moments, they are purposely allowing their brains to run on low-power mode in order to reserve as much power as possible for something critical that is going on in the background or that they know will inevitably come up & must be dealt with. They need to give the brain a momentary break at some point, so that it can work immediately upon call and more effectively when fully operating.
They don't care about things like socially acceptable speech or appearing goofy in non-critical cases, not because they just don't care, but because they are insignificant in comparison to everything else going on in their minds. Contrary to how it looks on the outside, they are actually very choosy and have high standards, including regarding what they put their mental effort toward--all so that their mental effort yields the highest possible gains. Some words or a tweet is no where near as important as all the 1000 things, logical patterns, and multiple possibilities they are thinking about in the background, both subconsciously during the speech/while tweeting and more consciously afterward, including thinking about how those things are to be managed, and actually doing the even more intensive work of actually managing them.
People like this don't think linearly. Their minds literally operate in multiple dimensions (like a giant web, and even multiple versions of said web--Or similar to what skme pedes call "4D chess") at all times, except for in this very temporary power-conserving mode.
People who have never thought on this level or who don't push themselves to do so for any extended periods of time, and just mainly stick to linear thinking, will not understand the amount of brain power consumption it takes, how fast thoughts are flying in that mode & in how many directions, and how insignificant something like word choice or a tweet is in comparison to the subject matter that the brain is processing. And thus, these people also tend not to understand the goofy boobish behavior and just write it off as some personality flaw.
This is why Trump acts like a boob sometimes, just like how Einstein was a goofy boob sometimes, along with many (dare I say most) other brilliant people.
(I would say that this is also why I act like a boob sometimes, but at that point, it would look like I'm just trying to stroke my own ego. Kek.)
But I thought boobs were a good thing?
