That's what I keep trying to tell the "inside job" theorists I know. So, in 8 months he assimilated into his new job as the leader of the free world, handled the whole "stolen" election garbage and planned 9-11!! And has kept anyone remotely connected with it (which would have to involve hundreds of powerful people), quiet for 6 years now! This guy has to be the most intelligent person ever in the white house.
I always end up telling them that someone this smart and ruthless is not someone you want to mess with and they shouldn't talk too loudly about it or they might find themselves "missing". The immediate look of fear on their faces is priceless.
