I agree 100% with your “nothing more than a figurehead’ comment. He nor his handlers care about a “turning point”. They also don’t care about reputation or legacy. Get the job done of eliminating freedom and liberty and everything else will fall into place.
He was just the candidate they could sell. Part black, part white, christian, muslim, etc... all rolled into one empty suit. And he reads off a prompter well. That’s all he does good that I’ve ever seen. He has no basketball game.... he is lousy at golf (despite playing all the time). He’s not smart. He’s a nothing, but he was smart enough to accept the deal. He and MOOshel get to travel the world and live first class for 8 years.... and all he has to do is what he’s told to do.
