        You have to be just the right level of stupid to do this much damage. Putin knew it; that’s why he installed him.

        Any smarter and you realize you can just tell the CIA the problem and they’ll solve it for national security reasons. Any smarter and you’ll realize that grifting does nothing for you. You already have the money you’ll need for life, and a better country supporting you is better for you, too. Any dumber and you’re drooling on yourself and can’t give a coherent enough speech to get votes. (We’re nearly at that last part as it is.)

        Hitler was spoken of the same way as Trump. Haven’t been able to find it again, but there was a 1930s op-ed about Hitler. If you published it today, everyone would assume you were talking about Trump.

        My concern is more on the people who voted for him originally. They’ll do it again even when he’s gone and eventually they’ll pick someone who is charismatic
