I’m happy he’s dumb. If he were smart, he’d be way better at corruption. His lowbrow corruption of scam meme coins and fleecing tech CEOs for a couple million is pretty benign versus what an actually smart person could do.

Yeah I wouldn’t be so happy about that. He’s that dumb because he was chosen for the dumbness and plausible deniability

There are much more incidious actors behind the scenes doing corruption at levels we can’t fathom whole Donald is the blunt force tool absorbing all the attention and negative press with his goofy corruption

I definitely can't use the word "benign" given the immense damage to our culture, economy, and national standing he's done, but directionally agreed. We're fortunate he's an actual stupid person.

Unfortunately, he's surrounded by intelligent people (Vought) who are somewhat adept at channeling his rage towards their own perverse goals.

it is quite the contrary, the smartest people are/would be the worst criminals … :)
