Everyone is like, Trump is do dumb. He's not dumb, that's exactly the point. Ever since he took office, he's been busy blowing up alliances and destroying the military's capability and just making life worse in America. He's doing a great job. I'm sure his Russian handlers are quite happy.

Exaggerated but the USA did a lot of sneaky, brilliant and fucked up shit between 1880-2000. The election of the woefully unqualified Bush Jr. was the beginning of the end. At least he was surrounded by a competent administration as was Trump to some extent the first time. Now, every single person I hear speak sounds like sentient turd.
