I am amazed at how many people are still imputing intelligence to Donald Trump. Him winning the presidency again after everything is less about him being some deep mastermind and more an exposure of the issues with America that have been there building for decades now.

The difference between Trump 1 and Trump 2 is that all the "establishment" R politicians who were "corrupt" or "deep state" but willing to work with him could at least steer the ship in the first term. Those people are gone and all who remain are ideologues and yes-men. Trying to find logic in the madness strikes me as someone going through the stages of grief near death, trying to find sense in a senseless, uncaring world. Take occam's razor, no one is steering the ship at the white house right now.
