I was trying to make a joke. I see I failed utterly. When you said "Hes a criminal and a lying psycopath that just happened to end up in politics." I was humourously asking why one one would be surprised that a lying psychopath would end up in politics when it's almost a redundant description. ;-)
Yes, I understood. : )
I just really was surprised at who I’ve seen him to be. Not a bumbling fool but a thug. He fools his enemies by appearing to be a fool.
