His bigly big brain comes up with so many bigly great ideas!

His weaknesses?
Thinking a fake map will make it happen, just like using a sharpie to redirect a storm.
Leaving details up to others - like oil companies are going to run Venezuela, right?
Thinking Greenland is his because he says so!
Thinking tariffs work.

Those, plus the fact he is kind of crazy, tend to discount the value of his bigly great ideas.
