Trump isn’t stupid, at least not that stupid. Your analogy would work better if instead of shooting his own foot he’s shooting Uncle Sam’s foot. You act confused because you think he works for Uncle Sam. He does not. He’s a Russian asset: his job is to make sure Uncle Sam never walks again, while pretending he’s not doing it on purpose so he can keep doing it.
When you look at it that way, all his actions make perfect sense. He works for Putin and he’s doing a good job. Until people realize this he’ll keep sabotaging the US.
See, it was plausible until the price of oil started falling. Oil is one of the few things propping up Russia’s economy. If oil keeps falling, Russia is even more screwed than it is now.
It would appear that he’s just a brat who’s never been told no in his life, grown so far as to be going senile. It’s all ego. Every single stupid thing he does is because he thinks he’s right. He is the literal embodiment of the dunning-krueger effect, fed by a bubble of yes-men hoping for crumbs from the table.
I don’t think he works for Putin (or well, who knows), but I think he admires fascism and fascists put ideology above economy, so that tracks.
And yet every single action he takes helps Putin…
well he does seem to admire Putin after all
I think he might actually be that stupid tho
I don’t think he even knows what’s on half the shit he signs.
He just grabs his oversized marker pen, puts that goofy-ass signature on them, holds it up for the camera like he’s still hosting The Apprentice, and goes back to playing golf.
The idea of global supply chains more complex than “cotton -> cloth -> Trump branded tat” would blow his mind.
He’s evidently working to destroy the USA and its alliances, which serves Russia’s interests. But it’s hard to know whether he’s doing so deliberately or unwittingly.
I’m pretty sure Putin played his narcissistic ass like a fiddle in the attempt to destabilize the US in order to win in Ukraine, and it’s paid off so much more than he ever dreamed.
It’s not even about stupidity, he literally can’t admit he made a mistake and work to fix it. Triple down if you have to, never show “weakness”. What a fucking putz.
He can be both: working for Putin and a complete moron.
You don’t threaten to sue the school you attended if your grades are released unless you know they are nothing to be proud of. Also, that professor or teacher that said Trump was the dumbest student he had to teach in all his years.
Good point. He bankrupted several of his casinos as practice, and now he is bankrupting the US.
