In reply to the discussion: I don't think Trump is in control [View all]Irish_Dem
(73,050 posts)1. Yes. He is too lazy and not sophisticated enough to come up with all of this.
He has animal cunning and some street smarts,
but he is uneducated and intellectually limited and lazy.
He only cares about money and power.
And revenge, hatred, petty grievances and retribution.

and theft of the US government.
