> Most of us see what he's done to the country
ALL of us see what he's done to the country. somewhere around 40% of us still think it's super.
stupidity certainly is one explanation and i used to give it precedence by default over malice when evaluating causality.

> If he was so smart we wouldn't be in this mess
unless he somehow benefited from us being in this mess...

> Being a two bit conman doesn't make you smart. It just means you fool some people dumber than you
are we talking about the same guy here? he's not a "two bit conman": he had six bankruptcies, then a hit TV show where he portrayed himself as a successful businessman, and now he's the president of the USA. he fooled 60+ million people dumber than him simultaneously. that makes him one of the best con men who's ever lived. try "legendary conman".

all i'm saying is don't underestimate Tangeranus or downplay his "accomplishments". he's unskilled in many areas we might consider basic, and has absolutely no capacity for empathy. go ahead and keep thinking he's stupid, but i recommend watching what he does and keeping an eye on your wallet in the meantime.
