It's wrong to call him a wannabe. He is very smart and very skilled, no joke. He is enacting a fascist revolution against the constitution in America successfully and barely resisted. While he took his foot off the pedal in order to prevent a confrontation, he is still replacing US marshals, generals, and other people in positions of enforcement to ensure he will win future confrontations.


Eh, I see this claim that he's smart and or competent.

I think he just doesn't care for norms which gives him a much easier time in operating the mechanisms of power. That doesn't make him smart or skilled. Previous folks did it with a great deal more skill, leaving far fewer impressions that they were criminals. Half the country seems to have forgotten how easily they supported the illegal invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan- that was skill and smarts to make folks believe those were okay actions. As much as I hate him, Papa Bush would have used the CIA to murder this fool and everyone would have cheered.

Any idiot can extract gallstones if they don't care about killing the patient.
