What do wars and affairs have in common?

They're both easy to get into and hard to get out of. Just heard James Carville say this on Ari' show, quoting his crusty aunt.

He also said that he thinks trump is too stupid to understand that oil is a worldwide commodity and if it goes up in one place it goes up everywhere. He doesn't think trump is just BSing. He thinks he is just too stupid to understand.

He is smart enough to understand the concept that he is screwing the world.
He doesn't care.

Stupid and greedy. I think I am at the point, honestly, where I don't care about the motive. I just disregard everything he says as a lie. The reason for the lie is irrelevant.

You don't get to be the most powerful person in the world,
with total lifelong immunity from prosecution, committing the world's
biggest heist by being stupid.

Underestimating this man is pure folly.

Haven't heard that saying in a while, but can't recall when it was ever more applicable!
