Sooner or later we have to accept the fact that not everything is 12-D chess and Trump sometimes just does stupid things.

Sooner or later we have to accept the fact that not everything is 12-D chess and Trump sometimes just does stupid things. Examples: still promoting the shots, appointing deep state actors (Chris Wray, Ron Rosenstein, etc.), delegating to incompetent people (Deborah Birx, Jeff Sessions), procrastinating on Russia-gate declassification, and the NFT Trump trading cards. And there are plenty more where that came from.
Every one of these was an unforced error that Trump defenders try and explain with some tortured Rube Goldberg-like explanation. I fell for it for a while myself but sooner or later you have to come to grips with his long litany of errors.
Trump's problem is that he does not learn from his mistakes. On top of that, people on our side make excuses for it, or even worse try to rationalize why it's actually a good thing. Perhaps if he didn't have so many people excusing it he might actually learn and improve.
“Trump's problem is that he does not learn from his mistakes”.
Sadly I’ve come to believe that this is true. I wanted for so long to believe he just had to learn the ropes of the political environment but when he doubles down on things he should have figured out by now I can only assume that we’d be stuck with Jared Kushner types again if he got back in (which is about as likely as me winning a power ball lottery)

And sometimes Trump does diabolical things. https://open.substack.com/pub/sagehana/p/jan-2023-donald-trump-continues-to?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android
