He's always been able to get large sums of money out of men who knew better.

He's always been able to love bomb potential assets the way only a narcissist can.

Back in the day, he wasn't a dumb guy. He was a businessman and he knew how to do business and how to give people the business. He was pretty much ignorant of everything else but he didn't have to be a Renaissance man, he only needed to keep building shit that didn't fall down. He could get that much done. Now he's totally out of his depth and it shows, even without early dementia.

If this teaches us anything, it's that businessmen make shitty presidents. We've had them before and they've been shitty before. Maybe he's shitty enough to drive that lesson home.

(Oh, and you want to see dumb,quiz me on pro sports. Or pop stars under 30. Or romance novels. Trust me, I am dumb as a stump)
